Soy milk should taste better.
I've unknowingly plummeted into a slot to become one of 'those kind of people' who possess odd things and believe even argue their existence in their lives as not only important but also necessary. viz; soy milk machine, bread machine, roomba to name a few.
What on earth? why do I even have these things? I was perfectly content buying soy milk in supermarkets, neatly packed in colourful cartons and tetrapacked beyond recognition. Until one day, in an epiphanic apparition of dead cartons I realized that I needed to make healthier choices and make soy milk at home.. My reasonings were it'd have no chemicals, no added sugar or bleach and that'd result in an overall improved life quality.
Imagine, less chemicals better health and peace of mind. What I didn't count on was that the resultant soy milk wouldn't taste anything like any soy milk I've had before. I thought the stuff in cartons was bad..but this is..umm..well..worse. It tastes like soybean milk..with more emphasis on the bean part and absolutely none on the milk. But alright! it's good for you..so what if it tastes like beans blowing their brains out to reek of that protein smell which can only be attributed to boiled/cooked beans? Mind over body I say..-I rest my case, I need this machine.
Now why do I have a bread machine? I make perfectly awesome and all kinds of breads in my oven. Focaccia, brioche, rolls, buns, baguettes, pizza..you name it. All, except the all important pan de mie. That..I cannot make in an oven..and that, is one bread that isn't available in our town. In fact there's no bread available in our town that isn't cake sweet (bread is largely eaten as a dessert here)..and although my requirements for sliced bread to make sandwiches are few, there are times when you can feel like you want a sandwich made of proper sized sliced bread..and that's when a bread machine comes in existence. This bread machine makes only one kind of bread and that is a pan de mie. - I rest my case, I kinda need this machine.
There's no reason why anyone should ever buy a roomba, except when you feel lonely and you need something actively running around your house that doesn't breathe nor needs feeding. If you're misguided enough to think that it'll actually clean your dust laden dirt sodden house then please do not be a damned fool. It's a flat disc for crying out loud, not a vacuum cleaner. How much dirt do you think it will swallow before barfing it all over your onyx floor?
It'll clean your house if your house is already sorta clean already, then it'll shine the very surface. If however your house is in urgent needs for a sweep from the gods, then a roomba is probably as useful as a third nipple on a man. A roomba is good fun to have when you want something industriously buzzing around on the floor, looking busy and eating miniscule particles of dust that you might have missed during the morning vacuum- I rest my case, I kinda need this machine.
