Yeah, I read that, but I also read that they can give you gastro problems? Ah well, as most just say chuck them in, that's what I'll do!

This carrot, orange and ginger one I've just made is nice but abit too bitty for my liking!

Now to find out if this almond milk that I see everywhere has calcium in!

The one I use has 120mg calcium per 100ml of almond milk. It's the unsweetened one. I use it in porridge instead of milk.

Never had any problems from eating raw oats. I don't like them cooked so it's the only way I eat them.

I like almond milk but I'm going to have a go at making it.

Hazelnut milk is also very nice

You don't need to cook oats. I make oat milk from oats and water.

Why wouldn't you just throw them into ordinary milk?

Yes, I think it does! That's one thing I've never done, although I've always fancied making my own bread.

That's interesting, thank you. Just checked, and semi skimmed milk has the same, so I might give the almond milk ago, as I'm sure sometimes I have an intolerance to dairy products.

Georgie, if you want to get more calcium in your diet but can't have too much dairy, here's a list with non-dairy calcium sources

Far fewer calories and far, far less fat.

How does a dongle work, exactly?

As far as I know (never used one) it has a data allowance like a mobile phone and you plug it into the laptop like a memory stick.
Then the internet fairy waves their magic wand and hey presto you're connected.
(That last bit may not be strictly accurate, but I've reached the outer limits if my technical know how.)

Pretty much, yes. Shall post more when I'm on my laptop. But yeah, you can get onto the Internet with it.
