Shinerider Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Luckily - Kept power thru this, but water went out on Tues. Had to run to Lowes and do some digging to fix it. Shut off everything not essential. Also luckily - we are on gas, so furnace/stove/kitchen/hot water heater still live. I'm with Barry - this has seriously dented my Bourbon supply. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsweetened/unflavored. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily I usually have a few gallons of milk on hand as I go through at least a half gallon a day.

AntonioGG Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I did almond milk for a while but then read about water issues in California. I pretty much stopped eating cereal once I found out I'm lactose intolerant. I get hemp milk now (also unsweetened/unflavored) which is really nothing like milk at all and I mostly only use it to eat cookies with or for a smoothie. For coffee, if you must have a latte or cappuccino you must try Barista Oat milk. My wife can do dairy but she still prefers this milk on her cappuccinos. It microfoams very well. BTW, how do they milk the almonds? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mack_turtle Posted February 17, 2021 Author Share Posted February 17, 2021 I do almond or soy most of the time. Have not ingested dairy in many years. I should probably consider which one is more disastrous for the environment, but that's a slippery slope. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must be heartless, that never mattered to me. The only reason I want a Tesla is because of the performance. I have no desire to argue about, or care about the environmental impact.

ATXZJ Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Used to drink milk daily, now just one day on the weekend when we make breakfast. Same time I have bacon or sausage. Everything in moderation, including moderation. Almond "milk" is a misnomer. It's juice and there has been an effort to force a designation change. Almonds require almost one gallon of water per nut, with domestic production coming from a state like CA that is usually on fire. We even stopped buying whole almonds because of the water consumption. Sucks because smoked almonds are bad ass Do like some 2% goat milk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throet Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 (edited) So out again today looking for milk and BINGO! My wife insisted that I follow that truck for as long as we needed to get some damn milk. Luckily when she saw that IHOP was open she opted for some pancakes instead, and 3 milks to go for the win!
