You hung my wings upon your horns and turned my halo into thorns.
Today is all about Loretta Lynn. I love her material. I know she’s a little old school, but what a celebration of sassy she truly was. Trust me, there was not any other ladies out there during her time showing up on television singing declarations, that herself, her body, the baby factory was closing down thanks to the friendly neighborhood gynecologist.
For some reason, her duet with Conway Twitty, “You’re the reason our kids are ugly” is speaking multiple volumes to me this morning. Loretty went ahead with all her thunder during her prime. She proclaimed her independence with a feisty attitude freeing the minds of countless rural housewives everywhere in the 60s and early 70s. Those poor dear hens did not have access to Valium, like their suburban counterparts.
She also did an artistic compilation with Jack White of the White Stripes a couple of years ago titled “Van Lear Rose”. This CD is a very good time. At first, my opinion of that venture was not favorable, but now it moves and grooves me. Thank you both for coming together and opening my eyes.
FYI: The title of todays entry are lyrics from the Loretta Lynn song " Saint to a Sinner". It confesses her feelings of losing her virginity at a young age being that she got married when she was thirteen. I find this honesty very compelling.
This morning I have decided that I need to implement soymilk into my nutritional regiment. I do not care about being a guinea pig in this venture. I want to immediately find an unflavored soymilk out there with the taste and consistency of skim milk. I want this explore this soymilk thing with cereal. I would prefer something without a strong bean taste, no chalky texture and smooth or perhaps even a bit watered down. Color is not really a problem. If I can drink juice containing green food, I believe that I can handle the stigma of beige or even khaki milk. I hear that all soymilks are not created equally, and I am not interested in potentially wasting money on trying many different brands. HELP!
On the other hand, I am willing to try cooking using vanilla soymilk with appropriate baked item, whether for power bars, cakes or other dessert calling for milk and vanilla. Any suggestions to satisfy either of my quests are welcome.

When I don't get Trader Joe's soy milk (which I recommend, but I know you are sadly lacking a Trader Joe's), I buy original-flavor Silk (everything else is waaaay too sweet*). I don't think it is beany at all. When I drank milk, I drank skim (and hated whole milk - tasted like melted ice cream), but I really couldn't tell you if Silk tastes even remotely like skim milk. I do think it makes a good substitute, though, and the consistency seems right. Silk and Trader Joe's are the only soy milks I would probably drink straight, although it's not something I'm apt to do. It goes on cereal and I cook with it.
* The exception to my avoidance of all other Silk products is their soy nog. It is sweet, but not sickeningly so, although I don't drink it in large quantities. And I add bourbon :)
