Almonds have always had a bad reputation. Sure everyone has heard in at least one conversation that, "You can live off of just six almonds a day, ya know." But in the end, nobody cares because nobody will try it. If you do find yourself in a situation where you barely have enough money to buy a single food item, I can almost guarantee you are not going to spring for the bag of almonds since they are like $43 a pound.
Anyway, Almonds, unless shaved on top of a salad, really are overlooked.
Until today.
Today at my local New Leaf market that I will one day frequent on a regular basis, I came across a small pearl in one of the aisles.
That pearl, ta dah!, ALMOND MILK!
It is really milk that is made out of almonds.
I know they already did this with soy, but lets face it, soy sucks. It doesn't taste anything like milk and most people just order it at a coffee shop because it makes them sound sophisticated. I always see that look on people's faces when they are so surprised that I don't say, "What's your favorite Medium?" when they order their Soy Chai.
What an awful combination. Soy and Chai. Both suck, and surprisingly still don't taste good when put together.
Anyway, Almond Milk.
Actually tastes like Milk. Doesn't need to be refrigerated. Only 40 calories per 8 oz serving. Tastes great with cereal. Isn't soy. Does it get any better? Only if you have more than 1 carton of this manna.
Check it out, don't cheat yourself. Life can and will be good, with Almond Milk.

Dear Peets
Dear Peets Coffee,
Just because you play classical music in your shop, doesn't make you superior to other coffee shops. Just because you made it a pain in the butt to find seating and only have 3 or 4 little "cute" tables in there, doesn't make you superior to other coffee shops. Just because you hire mature individuals who look like they are "young at heart", doesn't make you superior to other coffee shops.
Your fantastic and aromatic coffee selection, does make you superior to other coffee shops.
Come on Peets, your not fooling anyone.
We know your great, but your a bit cocky.
Know your role,
Reid
