I was a very happy girl when I found soy based gelato on Lygon Street. I think I had coffee and hazelnut flavours. Nice to have them without then getting an upset stomach in return!

It had a slight different feeling on my teeth, but it’s easy to get through that because of the flavour!

Finally made it home about 6.30, to a cute little present box…


Ooh Soy Creamy Cooking milk. Two tins, won through Not Quite Nigella… I’m so trying this tonight! (They don’t yet stock it at the local Woothworths at Weston Creek, so if I like it, I’ll have to ask them to get it in!)

I recently went off dairy. It started with chocolate, as I made an immediate connection between it going in my mouth and about 20-30mins not having a happy stomach at all. Then all other things yummy and creamy were slowly dropped until I think I can have a small amount of dairy in something (like the small amount of condensed milk in the creamed rice Rish made last night, and I had for breakfast today!) but really don’t want to push it.

So, a couple of weeks ago, Vitasoy longlifes were on special, so I thought, okay, I’ll get one each of the lite soy, their oat milk and the rice milk… and see how they go on my Weetbix!
Week 1 (it take me about a week to get through a litre of milk. Sue me :p) we the soy. I know this was bearable, and I think I like the lite a lot more than the regular… haven’t done a direct comparison between it and So Good though…
Week 2 I did the rice milk…. ew! I should have just used water! The taps would have given it more taste. It soaked into my weetbix strangely… I’m exactly sure how to describe it… I think it was just like water though…
Week 3 oat milk… this was nice and creamy… too a lot though to make my Weetbix soggy enough but not too soggy!
So, yeah, sticking with the Lite Vitasoy for now… good thing too, because Rish seems happy enough with its taste in his cooking (sago one night, and the creamed rice another)… not that this is necessarily good for my waist line :p
Can you stand the taste of soy milk?

Once upon a time, my baby sister (who is not such a baby any more) was going through a childhood period of lactose intolerance. Some kids do these things.
Anyway, because her language wasn’t quite up to the awesome skill levels of her sister two years her senior, she had some difficulties with some semantic tasks. Like using words that sounded similar in the wrong place, with cuteness generally ensuing.
Soil milk, being the name she gave to soy milk. At the time, I think I agreed, as the Seventh day Adventist church, aka Sanitarium, hadn’t quite developed So Good soy milk to taste much better than potting mix.
It seems to have evolved, and so I’m trialling it for awhile, in my tea and coffee, on my oats. Just mucking around with the dairy in my diet to see if that helps with my annoying gut and perhaps my general health. I don’t think it will hurt me (unlike chelation for autistic kids) so I may as well. :) Wish me luck with the soil milk?
