Where I live (rural Northern California), those aseptic packages for juice, soy milk, tofu, etc. ARE accepted in the recycling bins. This change happened a couple years ago.
I personally prefer lactose-free cows milk over any other kind. The various plant milks - soy, almond, rice, oat, etc. - seldom provide significant protein, and their calcium is usually added, and not as bioavailable as that in animal milk.

but the bubbles don't last!
I bought a steel seltzer bottle and chargers several years ago, when I started using Splenda and couldn't find any diet sodas with ingredients that didn't scare me. It's great for making sodas on the spot, but the bubbles just don't last. I can't make a bottle of soda to keep in the fridge. In fact, the bubbles don't even last if I am sipping at the glass rather than chugging it.
Anybody have a solution to this?
p.s. the chargers for the whipped cream maker are indeed nitrous oxide (whee!), but the chargers for the seltzer maker are CO2.On Umbra on seltzer bottles posted 2 years, 5 months ago 5 Responses
