Soy improved something. Weird.

Comediant Jim Gaffigan has a really funny bit about bacon. His point: bacon is such an amazing food, that anything will actually be improved by wrapping bacon around it.

Shrimp? Good. Bacon-wrapped shrimp? F-ing awesome.

In the universal scale of things, bacon is at one extreme. The bad, hedonistic extreme. The other is, of course, shared by bacon, tofu and brocoli. So, I was surprised this morning when Soy milk actually improved something.

Today was my first day using Silk soy milk for my coffee and instant oatmeal. The coffee was ok. It's hard to break a life-long habit of using skimmed milk in the morning. Now, the oatmeal was a different story.

Since the crazy high cholesterol reading I've been trying to eat oatmeal for breakfast everyday. The "lower sugar" instant oatmeal by Quaker is actually good. But until now I had made it with water and added some soy powder to add protein to it. The end result: so so.

This morning I made it with Soy milk and, wow. Creamier, tastier and better.

Bizare experience when something good for you tastes good.
