That dill tahini sauce is fantastic! I love it as the dressing for pasta salad. Hmm. Maybe I'll make some tonight.

Perhaps you need to lead by example! :D

The apple cider cupcakes were outrageously good. I mean, seriously one of the best recipes in the book. Make them! Make them now! I used the vanilla buttercream frosting and the combination of the...
I just found out that semen contains about 300 percent that zinc found in the bloodstream, so I guess it is a good source of zinc.

I've made a couple other things from this now.
The lemony cake with lemon icing was way too lemony. Like it was overly sour. I think if you cut some of the lemon juice and replaced it with water...
OK, I found the FYH cream cheese in my local Wegman's. Best. Thing. Ever. Beats the pants off the Tofutti version. I couldn't stop eating it right off the knife. It was delicious on my veggie burger....
All the FYH cheeses I've tried have been great. I love making vegan pizzas with the mozz flavor. Reed, maybe if you tried a different sauce you would get the savory effect you are looking for. You...
Sloths are not that rare in their native habitat. They are very secretive and mostly motionless, making them very hard to see. I saw one in Panama and for the longest time couldn't decide if it was a...
Those were great! I made them for the holidays last year.
I think for my family Hallowe'en party I'm going to make the apple cider cupcakes, but they look really complicated. Wish me luck!

Stickydate,
I am so jealous! I would love to have the land (and climate) to plant all that. Congrats!
My one surviving yellow tomato plant has four little tomatoes on it! Now I have to hope...
If you mix lemon juice with white vinegar, you can clean up practically any mess. It's great for stuff that is caked on the stove.
I like the aftershave idea.

An ex of mine made creamer in his vitamix (super high-powered blender) for the times I stayed over. I think the ingredients were cashews, maple syrup, and rice milk. You just blend it until it's as...
I have my first cuke and two little tomatoes on the vine! My rosemary and lavender plants are going wild, too. Unfortunately, the squirrels made off with all my corn. Also, the slugs are mounting a...
While starches may have played a role, potatoes did not. Potatoes are a New World plant and humans did most of our evolving--especially the big-brain parts--in Africa. Potatoes probably didn't enter...
Yes, if you buy plant grow lights and keep everything warm enough (generally 70F or so, but it depends on the species you are growing).

At least some environmental news is good. I hope that this population can be protected.

I sprinkled black pepper on the plants and kind of around them in a circle. So, the black pepper covered a full circle with the plant in the center. My garden continues to be slugfree and mostly...
Warning--I'm about to nitpick:
You can't really use Neanderthals as an example of our ancestors because modern genetic research suggests that they were not our ancestors nor was there much gene...
If nothing else gets you, your kidneys will fail eventually. They take the brunt of all the toxins produced as natural byproducts of our metabolism. They also don't regenerate as well as the liver...
So I've sprayed my garden with a garlic solution and covered the whole thing in ground black pepper. Result: slugs and squirrels are leaving the plants alone! I wish I had discovered this before 90%...

I ran out of canola when making cupcakes once and used peanut oil. You really couldn't tell the difference.
I made the coconut lime cupcakes and chocolate cupcakes with raspberry buttercream...
They may be my favorites. I'm making some for a family gathering this weekend, along with chocolate cupcakes with raspberry buttercream frosting.

Most herbs will grow fine in pots. Be careful with rosemary and lavender, though, as they can get overwatered in pots quite easily.
Tomatoes and peppers will work, also. I've heard of many people...
I'll try this! Thanks!

Does anyone have any ideas for vegen slug control? They are devastating my garden. Thanks!

From what I've read, rats are usually only attracted to compost if there are animal products in it. I've never had a problem with rats in my compost. I'm sure it depends on where you live.

I don't think they would bother the potatoes. Hard to say though. If they are living under the pots they are probably feeding off decaying plant matter and I don't think they would bother with the...
I don't understand how Ralph Nader is being racist there. Can you explain it to me?

No. All species of water beetles that I know of are predatory. They are eating other small insects, worms, etc. Some eat mosquito larvae, so they are good to have. Be careful of the giant waterbugs,...
I put cooked food in my compost all the time and it's fine. I also did not use any kind of starter. If you don't use a starter it will take longer to get going, but it will eventually be fine. If not...

Hmm. I've never had any problems with this cookbook using exactly the measurements given.
This weekend I made the vanilla cupcakes combined with the raspberry buttercream icing. The raspberry...
Well, I think the honeysuckle is dead. The cilatro looks like it will survive.
A cool thing is that I scattered a bunch of old seeds I wasn't going to plant into my tortoise pen, figuring if any...
Not yet. I've been living off of salads and hummus lately. I have a big party to prepare for this weekend, so I'll try to get to it next week. It just sounds excellent. Maybe with some Tofurky...
I don't season them too much, as I find they have a great flavor all on their own. My two favorite ways to make them are steamed, sliced and dipped in white vinegar or with potatoes and sweet...
I did try that. I think it has saved the honeysuckle. The peppermint is past hope. I will always thoroughly read the instructions on fertilizer in the future. And to think that this was organic...
Arrgh. I didn't read the instructions on some fertilizer carefully and burned up my peppermint and cilantro. I hope the honeysuckle doesn't die, but it looks bad. Does anyone know of anything that...
OMG! That is the best idea ever! I'm totally doing this.
