Comment on Veganomicon — Mac ‘n Cheese by Tash

Haven’t made the mac daddy recipe yet and after reading this not sure i’m going to try; however most recipes I have tried in this book I have loved. I saw someone mention they thought the strongest section in the book were the soups and actually I found them to be the weakest and while some people have raved about chickpea cutlets, I found them to be far too rich and heavy (just goes to show how subjective tastes are!). I’m not in the US and so there are some recipes I can’t make due to being unable to source the correct ingredients and some where I have to adjust quantities as we don’t have the same sizes of tins as required however my top picks from the book which all my non-vegan friends have been raving about are (Mains) 1. Spinach linguine with cilantro-basil pesto and artichokes (my boyfriend especially loves this one and he is a massive carnivore) 2. Eggplant rollatini -baked version 3. Caesar salad 4. Spaghetti with beanballs 5. Penne vodka 6. Greek-style tomato zucchini fritters – baked version (must have with cashew-cucumber dip recommended) 7. Eggplant-potato moussaka 8. Lasagna marinara 9. Roasted fennel and hazelnut salad 10. Chickpeas romanesco. Also on a side, the sour cilantro cream recipe is amazing if you’re ever having a mexican night and want a vegan sour cream option.

Comment on Vega Product Review by JB

I was using Vega One chocolate formula. I purchased it from Whole foods last week and it is now the fourth day on the product and I am experiencing severe explosive diarrhea. I have been going every half an hour. I am not planning on taking it this morning.
After reading these other posts it makes me wonder what is going on with this product. I have been a vegetarian for about a year and used to getting a lot of fiber and leafy greens in my diet so I doubt I would be experiencing any cleansing effects.
Also, I have used the Vega sport products (bars and protien powder) and never had a reaction like this

I am currently using Vega and VegaOne. I bought the new formula in a different flavor although I still had the old formula left. Never experienced any issues with old formula. I also did not experience any issues at first with new formula until now. Because I had the old one I was making larger size shakes for dinner and using the new formula for afternoon small shakes before working out. About a week ago I tried a full size shake (1 full scoop) for dinner and about an hour or two later I was extremely nauseous thinking a may get sick to my stomach but never did. The nausea continued next morning and throughout that day but got over it.
Yesterday I took a full scoop for breakfast on an empty stomach and exactly 2 hours later I was vomiting non-stop. It was only the shake, nothing from night before which had digested. I am very upset as I have been such a big fan of Vega until now. I hope something is figured out or they release some type of instructions to deal with eating this new formula.

Comment on Would You Buy an Electric Car With Leather Seats? by Lane

Hi Adam

Please share your thoughts as to why electric cars are not good for health or environment or economy…

Mmmmm… Nana’s eggplant parm sounds yummy! I had some vegan eggplant parm at Whole Foods for lunch yesterday. OK, so it’s been a long time since I’ve had the real thing, but it was reminiscent of real eggplant parm… well at least that’s what my brain’s telling me…

Hello fellow vegans and conscious consumers ! =)

Nevermind leather seats !,

ELECTRIC CARS ARE NOT GOOD FOR HEALTH OR ENVIORNMENT OR ECONOMY

So, my quick comment, I wouldnt buy an electric car LOL

as for the leather, Id rather buy a used car with leather seats than an electric car without.

I could go into the reasons, but Im sure there are a few other thinkers out there;
Ill leave it to them and discussion.

10 year vegan (except when my 100% Italian Nana make eggplant parmesan =)
OH, and canola oil is NOT a food, its a nasty man made cash crop or simply poison.
Earth ‘balance’ is NASTY and the vice president admitted he knows its bad “but it sells”.
ORGANIC is CRUCIAL for ALL living things, even life without eyes =)

PEACE

Comment on The Vegan 100 – 100 Things You Should Try by Kayla

I could live off of wasabi peas, yessiree. Scrapple, though? No, I will say never on this one. Same for the caviar and haggis (I’ve never had the non-vegan version of these and I don’t care to, ever). I love borscht and it is one of the highlights of visiting my family (I make sure my grandmother substitutes vegetable stock for meat stock). Homemade kimchi is the best (also courtesy of my grandmother), but I once bought some locally made (Minnesota) kimchi and that was pretty darn good too. Being Korean, this is a staple for me (along with white rice, terrible! I know).

But of all, there is nothing quite like some homemade mandu (Korean dumplings). I make them fairly regularly and they are the best thing for snacks (lots of tofu and veggies make it healthy too! pan-frying, not so much).
