This past weekend was a great combination of ribfest and welcome back parties. Which meant back to back late nights and a fair bit of drinking. I've learned two things: 1. alcohol is poison and 2. soylent is pretty good hangover food. I don't have a strong enough background in nutrition to comment on the physiologic mechanism, but I certainly felt a lot better having my morning Soylent compared to eggs or toast or what have you. I didn't have any issues drinking it (it was as objectionable as any other food would have been) and it didn't irritate my stomach at all. All told, I'm really happy with it so far, especially after a couple of mornings where I would have been functionally unable to cook otherwise.
I've also been experimenting with different amounts of added water to change the consistency, and so far I've tried 2,3 and 4 cups of water per People Chow recipe. Two cups is too few (texture too much like gruel), and I couldn't really tell the difference between 3 and 4 cups. I'm still waiting on my scale to arrive from Amazon, so I'll hold off on more experimenting until I can fine tune the ingredients a bit more. Here's what a day's worth of powder mix looks like:
