And of course, maybe not all the way back to primitive ancestors, but back a good ways, my ancestors' diets was significantly different from most of all y'alls' ancestors' diets.

Although if adhering to some fad diet means I get to eat more sushi and nori, I'm all in favor.

I was shocked when I was looking at almond milk in the market and saw how little protein it has. I thought a milk made from nuts would have a ton of protein.

Yeah, me too. I was really bummed because I like it nearly as much as milk.

In order to get it into milk form, they have to add so much water that very little of anything from the almonds is there in big amounts.

Soy milk comes out much higher. Soybeans don't seem particularly naturally "juicy" to me.

Ginger,

I am not sure what you are thinking introducing science and facts.

But thank you for it.

Soy milk comes out much higher. Soybeans don't seem particularly naturally "juicy" to me.

But if you compare dry soybeans to almonds, the soybeans have a whole lot more protein.

Do bitters taste anything like fernet? They sound like they should.

Nope! They're flavor extracts. I have cardamom and chocolate bitters, and LOVE them.

I love me some bitters. My favorite are Regan's Orange Bitters, which are heavy on the cardamom. There's, obviously, a lot of bitters out there, some alcohol-based and some glycerin-based (Fee's is the biggest glycerin-based one I know of, and they do a really good cherry bitters). The most popular one is, as said before, Angostura, with Peychaud's coming in second (you can't make a Sazerac or Vieux Carre without them). Bittermen's does a great habanero bitters.

Ahem.

I try to eat high protein, but my body FREAKS OUT without carbs, so I eat a lot of salads with chicken and English muffins with turkey and avocado. Almond milk is delicious, and is much better to bake with than soy.

My favorite are Regan's Orange Bitters

Me too! I just had my regular non-alcoholic cocktail which is tangerine juice, tonic water and Regan's Orange bitters over ice.

You guys must stop! Now I want a wasabi pickle, an English muffin with turkey and avocado, and Hec's orange mocktail!

and Hec's orange mocktail!

I'll be in LA tomorrow. I'll drop one by!

I add a little fruit juice to seltzer to try to fool myself into thinking I'm drinking soda.

True Lemon, True Lime, True Orange and a Sodastream, and I recently noticed I haven't even bought an Izze or any other drink in a restaurant for months. Water's just fine, if for some reason I don't have a sachet on me.

But if you compare dry soybeans to almonds, the soybeans have a whole lot more protein.

Ah. That makes sense.
