(I don't know why I haven't offered this before--always thought one of your other fans taken care of this, I guess.) I always have some in both my freezer (helps it melt better) and my fridge (for just eating slices). It comes in many flavors, all of which are pretty good, but I like the Monterey Jack and Nacho the best. Email me: flauchic AT gmail dot com and let me know if you'd like to receive a personal shipment from Seattle!Aarwennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04803036088464900924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-86348913636604784242007-03-02T08:49:00.000-08:002007-03-02T08:49:00.000-08:00Hi, Mara -- I was referring to the Tofutti cheese ...Hi, Mara -- I was referring to the Tofutti cheese slices, not the tubs of sour cream or cream cheese, which do come in trans-fat free varieties.

It's hard to find, since grocery stores usually only carry the blue (trans-fatty) container, but if you demand it, they'll stock it.

No, not like a high fat hard cow cheese, but it does melt. Mostly I just use it as a condiment though, or make a roux based white sauce with it in, or finely grate it and then pour over boiling water for a runny sauce (this version usually ends up needing a touch of cornflour though cos I never get the amount of water right, lol)Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09202872560172218285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-63881886777891487482007-02-27T09:04:00.000-08:002007-02-27T09:04:00.000-08:00Yum!

It keeps much longer, is needed in smaller amounts and melts more like the real thing, but the biggest plus is that it's tasty right off the package while FYH is only nice when melted. <BR/><BR/>That said, I doubt I'd like the smoked cheddar flavour because I never liked smoked cheese :)thephneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14164909133960568961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1172437515983747612007-02-25T13:05:00.000-08:002007-02-25T13:05:00.000-08:00No, I did not use soy protein powder at all, as I'...No, I did not use soy protein powder at all, as I've heard bad things about they way it is processed and produced.

Anyway, I wonder whether you experimented with different protein powders when you were trying to make yours? I use the Pure Advantage vanilla protein powder, and it works great in baking (not gooey and dense at all). I wonder whether you were using a soy based protein powder, and that could be the difference? Both Cosmosveganshoppe and Veganessentials sell the stuff I use, as does my local health food store... It is pea and rice based protein powder, as opposed to soy. I highly recommend it!<BR/><BR/>http://www.cosmosveganshoppe.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=PAVC&Category_Code=PPG&Product_Count=1TBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05644211871681782561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1172432886045723812007-02-25T11:48:00.000-08:002007-02-25T11:48:00.000-08:00: ): )High Power Rocketryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11537203640644706903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1172354467199715472007-02-24T14:01:00.000-08:002007-02-24T14:01:00.000-08:00http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/strollerderby/archi...http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/strollerderby/archive/2007/02/24/have-picky-eaters-try-the-full-meal-muffin.aspxAlisynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06205031950915088442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1172324796216629752007-02-24T05:46:00.000-08:002007-02-24T05:46:00.000-08:00A full meal muffin!

The way I see it, the ecological impact of shipping a vegan product in the mail is no where near the impact of buying "real" cheese and other animal products.<BR/> <BR/>Anyone who has seen the show "Living with Ed" may have noticed that Ed (a very, very, VERY earth-conscious person) recieved eco-products like big rain-collection tubs in the mail seemingly every other week. I don't think he beat himself up over having something shipped in the mail. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I hope my point is clear. I think if you chose not to buy things online, more power to you, but I don't see it as the worst thing in the world.Matt and Bobbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00287385850626173483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1172168403010247632007-02-22T10:20:00.000-08:002007-02-22T10:20:00.000-08:00Hi,I've long been a fan of your blog, but this is ...Hi,<BR/><BR/>I've long been a fan of your blog, but this is the first time I've posted. I had to b/c I was reading something about the Proverbs 31 woman online that so reminded me of you! I couldn't post the whole thing (it's too long), but here's the site where you can read it: http://www.reviveourhearts.com/radio/roh/today.php. Anyway, I'm not a vegan, but you are such an inspiration to me, as a wife/mom/homemaker. Thanks.<BR/>Here's the passage:<BR/>Today, we come to two verses—verses 14 and 15 9of Proverbs 31]..."She is like the merchant ships [we'll explain that in just a moment].” Verse 15: "She also rises while it is yet night [or still dark], and provides food for her household, and a portion [or tasks] for her maidservants." <BR/>....<BR/>Here is a woman who cares, practically, to make sure that her family gets fed; and they get well fed. They get balanced and nutritious meals. Now we're looking at a day when women did not have refrigeration, so she was having to go out shopping probably every day for the ingredients needed for every day's meal. She was willing—we see a woman with a heart that's willing—to sacrifice and to make extra effort in order to adequately meet the physical needs of her family."K-Virtuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17456613022430236023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1172168066523751152007-02-22T10:14:00.000-08:002007-02-22T10:14:00.000-08:00>>They say that I have to send you that medal I pr...>>They say that I have to send you that medal I promised.

I think it's terrible. My nan made scheese and onion pasties, and it just stayed like it was, and didn't melt at all, not even a little bit. And it's way too chalky to actually taste like cheese. I've given up with hard cheese alternatives. I loved cheese, I gave it up because I love animals and hate factory farming more! Nothing tastes like it enough for me, or has that texture! Soft 'cheeses', not a problem, which is odd. Ah well. Glad you're enjoying the scheese anyway, someone has to!charlie_elisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17501603823568062307noreply@blogger.com
