Soy Cheese and Milk...

My wife came up with this title as she wrote to a friend asking what kind should we get.  Of course this is before she remembers we have soy milk in the house.  In fact, having soy milk for a week instead of skim milk is not going to be a big deal for me.  I like soy milk.  However, a colleague of hers said I should try almond milk because apparently soy milk is a testosterone inhibitor (no scientific fact here, just going with the hearsay).

Anyway, now on to more important things...CHEESE!  I love cheese.  We buy the LARGE Costco sized string cheese and I am known to have at least one a day. I am not sure how I will survive without my cheese, but apparently soy cheese is out there.  As is soy beef, soy chicken, soy soy, and if we look hard enough probably soy vegetables (aka edamame-YUM!).  I must admit we have had some of the Morning Star products which one of my favorites is the buffalo nuggets and even the breakfast sausage patties are eatable. Which leads us to probably the most difficult meal of the day for me...BREAKFAST!

I eat all types of things for breakfast, but many times it is egg cups.  So what to eat instead.  According to my wife's colleague Quinoa is good with a milk substitute, like cereal.  It provides texture which is one of the things he claims we will miss the most.  Which brings us to snacks!  Yes snacks! I eat throughout the day trying not to gorge (note the word trying). However, I need my snacks to give me a break from reading the next greatest article about cloning and corporate social responsibility (at least this week anyway). Next week will be all about Wal-Mart as I write my final paper.  But I digress, but isn't that what a blog is about?  Anyway, snacks are necessary, and we will have to line some up for throughout the day. I am hoping I can have pretzels for the crunch and I can have my cashews, but what about chocolate, and those little soy joy ice cream fake sandwiches, is that dairy or just soy and a viable choice in the Phoenix heat?  We will have to see.


The last thing I learned today, is supposedly it is less expensive to be Vegan. Be Vegan and have more money for vacation.  Hmm it is a consideration, but I do not think it is going to fly with this meatasaurous for long term.  Anyway tonight, we are serving up a MEAT dish with chicken, spicy chicken sausage, and chicken Andouille sausage ala Rachel Ray.  It is going to be hot and spicy and I cannot wait.


Veg out!
