@wine, I'd be so annoyed. I hope the rest of your weekend is relaxing.

Does anyone have an amazing chocolate chip cookie recipe? I like mine a little crispier and thin.

I mostly use pea and soy for coffee, cooking, and the boys. We like cashew a lot too. I think almond milk is the most preferred among people used to drinking cow's milk but I really only like it for smoothies. Most plant-based milks that are nut based have a good amount of calcium, usually more than dairy. So does soy. If you want something that has a similar nutritional profile to cow's milk then you want soy, pea, or hemp (which I don't happen to like). We use pea and soy since we don't have as many sources of dietary fat, but that might not be a concern for you. If that's the case then I'd say just find whatever you think tastes best. So you have: soy, oat, pea, coconut, rice, hemp, flax, pecan, cashew, almond, and hazelnut, among others. Also, because I know that you care about this: you're going to be helping the environment because every gallon of cow's milk takes 2,500 gallons of water to produce. Plant milks are much less water intensive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk You're the best. Thanks. And yes I love the environment factor, unlike the bitch that left her SUV running while shopping. I couldn't find her in the store for a takedown and to scream HEARD OF GLOBAL WARMING. Drive.me.nuts.

Morning. I'm headed to some furniture stores to look at beds today. We will be upgrading to a king (can't wait) and I want to get a bed that has an upholstered headboard. Hopefully I will find one! Way late but check out wayfair for headboards. The quality, prices and selection is great.

Hope the Vicodin knocks his pain down enough that he can start drinking and eating a little wedding. I bet this feels like the longest day ever. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Need to catch up, but MH is driving me insane. We are having his cousins over for a low key get together (so I thought) and he's going nuts. Every serving dish we own is out, he came up with games, signs, scavanger hunt, ect. There will be 10 adults and 4 kids INCLUDING us. It doesn't help that I'm on a diet, starving, exhausted and about to start my period. Omg, slow your roll Mr Wine.... But secretly I'm dying laughing over here, he is great entertainment

cagoldi or anyone else, I'm looking to replace the milk in our house, but there are so many choices, soy, almond, coconut, sweetened or original! What do i get? I want something mainly for cereals and in coffee. yummeecookee what did you get? I think the cashew milk has the nicest taste. Coconut would be my second choice. I'm over almond milk- it tastes the way I imagine dirty plants would taste. Well this sounds terrible, funny you should mention that taste though because that's how mangos taste to me, like dirt. Blech. So what you are all saying is I need a variety pack. I wonder if they sell a 'trying to save some cows and the environment but don't know where to start' pack...

I wonder if they sell a 'trying to save some cows and the environment but don't know where to start' pack... If you have a health food/natural food store or WF close then you're likely to find smaller packages and more variety. Most that you try and decide you might not want for cereal or drinking aren't likely to be a total loss because they're probably going to be fine for cooking. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

wedding poor guy. I hope he starts feeling better soon. Did you try fun popsicles? We have superhero ones at our store. Oh yeah. We've tried everything. He takes one lick and says he's done. I have multiple kinds, Italian ice, ice creams, many different drink options, etc. The Dr was so proud of herself because he drank a sip of apple juice when she told him he would get a sticker for every cup he drank and a prize at five stickers. She's like "see, he just needs positive reinforcement" smugly and walks out. He didn't drink another sip. He gives no fucks about rewards, threats, novelties. I even picked up an ice cream sundae on my way home last night and he refused and devolved into a fit of tears.

Since Monday he's eaten a half a pancake, a 1/4 cup of soggy Cheerios, and licked the frosting off a donut.

Not one of our neighbors smokes; we don't smoke, but there's s brief whiff of it in my nose daily. /anecdote /unhelpful

Millie is totally healthy. I on the other hand wore a sweatshirt in 103 degree weather when I took her in. I'm back in bed and starting to run a fever. I'm scared I have the flu. On top of bronchitis.

We bought the house yesterday, changed the locks, set up utilities and started moving today.
I also went to the wrong mailbox and looked pretty stupid.

I have had a cigarette taste in my mouth for two days. Did anyone else have this? Pregnancy is really weird. Not cigarettes, but pennies. My N13 pregnancy, all liquids tasted like (what I would guess) pennies taste like. With DD in 2010, I couldn't hear out of my left ear even though 3 doctors assured me nothing was wrong with my ear.
