Green Goat Butter

So after trying a few brands of soy milk and then asking why the heck am I drinking this, I came to the conclusion that all milk is pretty lame nutritionally as a food, unless it's raw milk. And if you're going to try it raw, then you'd be good to try goats milk. Even though it wasn't raw, I saw it at the Fresh & Easy grocery so I had to try it.

I poured myself a big cold glass of it expecting it to taste like regular milk. Certainly it wouldn't have the thinner sometimes immodium-ish taste of soy milk right? At first, it did taste just like regular milk. Then the after taste came, and I got that look on the face that said, "ok what the hell was that funkiness?!!" So what do you do when you get that look? You drink some more and then some more. I think I felt a hair or two growing out of my chin. The after taste actually tasted like you swallowed the odor of a farm animal. It's official!!! This goat's milk is a little gross. Though you don't notice it in smoothies.

Supposedly Almond butter is better for you than peanut butter. According to the latest RW issue, almond butter has more calcium and magnesium than PB. Also almond butter has 60% more mono saturated fat. So this is a good thing for my cholesterol level. I"m coming up on 6 months since my last checkup. I hope to see my HDL number up up up!

It's funny that the goat is drinking his own milk on the carton though.

I was walking a few weeks back and saw a jar of sun tea on the deck of a house. I finally remembered to get a sun tea jar. Was only 5 bucks too, so happy about that. So we made some sun green tea!! It's a nice change from water and lemonade.
