There's a fly in my liquid diet plan.
I've been really happy with Soylent and am down to the last few bags, so decided to reorder. After all, I have another 5 weeks to go without chewing.
So I go to place the order and the powder, which is what I can afford, is backordered until October 25th.
Crap.
Yeah, it's not the end of the world, but soups leave me feeling hungry and all the protein shakes are so damned sweet that I would honestly rather not eat than subsist on them. They're sickening. Soylent isn't sweet and I am not hungry when I use it.

have you tried ensure? There is a newer, less sweet blend that may work for you.

Has the powdered Carnation Instant Breakfast gotten any better tasting?
Edit: {googles} I wasn't even sure they still made it, but apparently they do. I guess now it's called Carnation Breakfast Essentials.

Yeah, there are plenty of protein drinks around, but they all taste like fruity or ice creamy shakes, and I really don't like that much sweet all day every day. I'll take a look at the less sweet Ensure and a client showed me an "instant meal powder" that looks a lot like Soylent.
I'd rather have something bland and tasteless to chug than a bunch of sickening milkshakes. Bluh.
I'm sweet enough as is.

Treppa, how is the Soylent thing working out asides from the dreadfully long backorder? I've been curious about it as I find it rather appealing to simplify the domicile's foodstuffs once we eat out the ridiculous backlog of stores in the freezers.
I quite like it. It tastes like thin pancake batter, but taste isn't the point. One packet of Soylent for $7 each day is quick to make and quick to drink. I feel full and healthy and the calories and nutrition are all done for me. A pitcher will last unspoiled for 2-3 days, so if you only want it for, say, breakfast and lunch and to eat a normal dinner, you can use the pitcher over 2 days. Or you can mix up individual meals one at a time with The Scoop.
It's easy. I'm lazy. We're the perfect couple.

:) Awesome. Glad to come across people that have been using Soylent successfully.

lots of things. She needs new brakes, new tires, new everything. But I have found a bike shop willing to do all of the things I ask to her without wondering/ demanding I "just buy a new bike!". I am not far from my goal, and I should be up and riding by late October/ early November.

Guess it's not a stallion if it's a "she". Sorry to hear of her problems. I will wish for a clear, cool fall for your riding pleasure, not some slushy mess.

I've been super busy with a bunch of freelancing assignments, some of which will see the light of day soon.
Damn! Now I can't unsee this. Well played, angel. Well played.

Wondering whether I should set the Rappan Athuk-Slumbering Tsar war (including Splinters of Faith & Barrakus) during either:
1) Where Aroden kills the Whispering Tyrant
2) The Shining Crusade where Tar-Baphon is imprisoned.
So either super ancient & maybe lost or newer, but more relevant. Shining Crusade may work better with the 'Armies of Light' Vs. Orcus thing.
