| How to veganize...? |
[15 Nov 2009|05:01am] |
Thanksgiving is being held at my aunt's this year, and when my dad mistaken told her I was just a vegetarian, she cocked her head and said "That's okay - vegetarians can eat turkey! Otherwise, where would they get their protein!" Sigh. She evidently doesn't even know what a vegetarian is, let alone a vegan.
I would like to bring something where the look of the dish doesn't seem off-putting. When I think Thansgiving, I also think of a cheesy-type casserole. So here's my query. I found this dish, but is it able to be decently veganized? It seems pretty reliant on eggs, dairy and I'm not good with major substitutions... I prefer something with little soy (my body revolts), but I'm willing to try anything. For those who have made their own cheezes (I remember an almond feta that looked as if it might work in this) are there any you think would work best? Thank you everyone!

| Daiya cheese |
[14 Nov 2009|09:42pm] |
|
Ok, I was not really believing the hype about this Daiya cheese stuff, but I recently got my hands on some, and I had a quesadilla today. A real, melty, stretchy, delicious quesadilla. It still has that vaugely processed-chemically flavor, kind of like a Kraft single, but it NAILS the texture and mouthfeel. Daiya's about as nutritious as Vegenaise, mind you - no protein to speak of, no vitamins or minerals, but it is really, really, really tasty.

| Sunland greets Republic of Lakotah. |
[14 Nov 2009|08:02pm] |
 The genocide of Native Americans by European colonizers is one of the darkest chapters of the world history. Scientists estimate that from 2 to 15 million Indians had been the victim of genocide during the entire period of colonization. But the colonialists destroyed not only people; they tried to destroy identity, culture of Native Americans. Native Americans are locked in reservations now. They are deprived of any prospect of full-fledged development. They are suffering from extreme poverty, unemployment and diseases.
Implementing their natural, inalienable and undeniable right, the Lakotah Indians, led by the Russell Means, the hero of the struggle for the independence, announced the termination of treaties between the Lakotah people and the U.S. Federal Government. On December 17, 2007 the Republic of Lakotah was proclaimed.
Russell Means, the outstanding leader of a proud and gifted Lakotah people, and the Provisional Government of the Republic of Lakotah, conduct a wise policy in order to awaken the Lakotah people and put an end to colonial rule. Lakotah Government implements a number of practical projects aimed at economic independence from the United States and upbringing of the younger generation. In this context, the project of building a kind of commune - the first compact settlement of the supporters of the Republic -is particularly interesting for Sunland project activists.
All Sunland project activists strongly support the Republic of Lakotah. They express hope and confidence that the heroic and long-suffering Lakotah people will be able finally surmounts the imperial rule of the US federal government.
The Sunland project team.

i imagined hearing creaking sounds while logging back in here... :-)
too much time has gone by...unplugged.
i have missed this space; streams of consciousness and framed nows.
i see so much and most of it ends up missing like those lost chapters carried by the wind these days... im plugging myself back in.
i need to remain reminded of what the dream looks like.
Everything that emancipates the spirit
without giving us control over ourselves is harmful," said Goethe. Luckily,
Virgo, you're in the midst of a process that may emancipate your spirit
*and* give you more control over yourself. Here are two ways you could
cash in on this potential: 1. Brainstorm about a big dream even as you
attend to the gritty details of making the dream a reality. 2. Expand your
imagination about your tricky situation even as you burn away the
illusions you have about your tricky situation.

| How long do whole soybeans take to cook? |
[14 Nov 2009|02:05pm] |
I've seen suggestions from 30 minutes to 2.5 hours, or the generic 'when done' which doesn't help when I'm trying to time a meal.
What do you do?
Googling is giving me gazillions of responses but limiting it to whole soybeans is proving unsuccessful. So I'm asking the wise vegan brains here. :)
(Usually, I'd sprout them, and then they take only 10 minutes at most to cook. That saves time, gas and carbon outputs, but with summer hitting where I live, my soybean sprouts are going off.)
Thanks. :)

| vegan egg nog |
[13 Nov 2009|05:28pm] |
I posted awhile ago asking where to buy vegan egg nog in Ontario and I just wanted to let any Ontario/Canadian people out there that Loblaws/The real canadian superstore has Holly Nog! My city is small and the Loblaws here has it, so I'd assume any others do. GOOD LUCK.
Also, I just got "The New Moosewood Cookbook". What are your favourite recipes from there if you have it?
