Guest guest Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Where do you live Anne? I know! I picked up that nog the other day at whole foods, along with my organic valley soymilk and soy choco milk. It is really good. What I hated about nog was how thick it was. This has the nog flavor but it's thin, yum. I also got 2 jars of veganaise. YUM. I can't get enough of that stuff. Yesterday I made Donna's savory sauce. By the way, the recipe says not to use silken tofu, and I thought that was strange being that it is a dip like texture, so I used the silken. I am a recipe rebel. And it was not as good as when you use the regular ol' firm tofu. She is right. anywho, I put a nice big dollop of veganaise in it, yum. I also picked up a bottle of maple syrup. 18 bucks! ouchies. Oh, and a question. I bought two packs of organic sugar because it was labels, " evaporated cane juice " Is this better for us than regular sugar ? or is the only benefit that to the environment? Hubbby's Aunt gave me a box of that stuff, what is it called, Stevia? something like that, the sweetener made from the plant that actually has fiber in it? Well anyway, I will use it in recipes but I did not like the taste in my tea. I am sticking to maple syrup in my tea, and for the added bite sometimes the blackstrap molasses. hugs, Chanda hugs, Chanda - jandemommy Tuesday, November 15, 2005 7:26 AM snow and soynog went grocery shopping yesterday for a few things to round out menus for rest of month and found Silk soynog--it is so good : ). it could be a serious addiction : ). found it at Walmart and it was even cheaper than regular dairy-stuff which almost never happens for me : ). picked up icemelt and new Christmas tree. kids and I are decorating it Thanksgiving night and watching Charlie Brown holiday special. they think if we get the tree up soon--their dad will get home sooner : ). we are expecting our first winter storm this afternoon--I can barely contain myself : ). we are on the border of 1-3 " and 3-6 " snow with blizzard-like conditions and as long as I can get kids picked up before it starts and we get tucked into house for the day-- I say " let it snow " . the first snowfall is always the best--kids are out trying to catch snowflakes on their tongues : ). putting a large pot of spaghetti sauce on this afternoon and may make a dark chocolate vegan cake with a little powdered sugar on top. we have a Cookie Walk coming up at school and this year we are doing 6 dozen vegan cookies : ). the newest issue of Veggie Life has a good section on vegan baking and some yummy looking cookies. so as I start baking them in next few weeks--will post reviews of them : ). take care: )................

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 --- Chanda-- I live in NE Iowa : ). took dog out for walk at marsh this morning and it is sleety and won't be long before it changes over to snow. once I have kids in for the day it will be exciting--I hate driving in it initially because there are enough idiots yet who think it's OK to drive 60-65 mph on ice roads but then it seems everyone's common sense kicks in : ). gotta love Vegannaise--love it with tofurky deli slices of all things. Walmart is now carrying containers of natural sugar? Florida crystals? price isn't bad at all. soynog is good but it is thick--I may thin down with a bit of lite soymilk. take care : )....

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 I wonder about the natural sugar. Is it better for us and the environment or just the environment, The bag I got at whole foods says dehydrated cane juice, organic sugar. I wonder if there is a difference. Wish I would have bought cane juice instead. hugs, Chanda - jandemommy Tuesday, November 15, 2005 11:24 AM Re: snow and soynog --- Chanda-- I live in NE Iowa : ). took dog out for walk at marsh this morning and it is sleety and won't be long before it changes over to snow. once I have kids in for the day it will be exciting--I hate driving in it initially because there are enough idiots yet who think it's OK to drive 60-65 mph on ice roads but then it seems everyone's common sense kicks in : ). gotta love Vegannaise--love it with tofurky deli slices of all things.
