This sounds awesome, thanks for sharing! You can maybe add some pepitas and make this a three sisters salad

Needs 💯

This is the problem with oligarchy. In societies where money buys influence and speech then the big businesses will always be represented over natural rights.

I’m still getting temps in the 40s and are going to stay between 38 and 40 through October. I usually turn off my climate control in October but I guess not this year lol

What on earth do you need a recipe for a patty melt sandwich? Put whatever you like in bread and put vegan butter on it and put it in a pan

I have the Soyajoy g4, there is a g5 now. I really like it because it does all the blending and heating automatically and has a sensor to stop it from foaming over. I still remove the pulp in a bag but I don’t really mind.

Fresh soymilk is different but imo better than the store bought stuff. I love drinking it hot with date syrup and cinnamon something I would never do with boxed soy milk. The boxed soy milk often has thickeners in it and also an enzyme called amylase in it to convert the starches to sugar to make it sweeter without adding sugar to the ingredients, the home made version doesn’t have either but it does have a really nice flavor imo.

@mosquibee has the self-cleaning Joyoung model which actually pours out milk without needing to be strained and takes care of itself just needs to clean the fiber basket when done.

PCRM!

I actually became a vegetarian because when I moved into my wife’s apartment all those years ago it felt weird cooking meat because thinking about animals made her cry and she was a vegetarian for 20 years. Once we learned about veganism and what really happens in the dairy and egg industries we felt silly for being vegetarian for so long and went vegan together. We have a vegan family now.

Sometimes I guess it just takes time to make your own vegan family instead of convincing others lol

I think it is funny how (usually Americans) don’t think judgement is a good thing and are always back pedaling about not judging someone or assuming judging is wrong.

I judge everyone and everything. I’m judgemental. It helps. If you have no judgement then you have no personality or personal boundaries.

Soy milk is my favorite. I have a soymilk machine that I put beans in and delicious hot fresh soy milk comes out.

Yes, this is my thinking exactly. I am not reading anything on topic right now but want to post about it when I finish

My family is vegan but also I do all of the food buying and cooking haha

Yeah I know, I don’t mean to be a jerk and I guess there is an inner sanctum that is better moderated. I might have joined at a weird time when being targeted w trolls

I am interested and like FOSS but am not committed to it like a cause. This website exists as an extension of the communities that exist on discord, primarily the Vegan Home Cooks. It is not viable for me to make everyone of the members move and I’m not going to push them, we all enjoy the company and community there. Most people are a part of multiple discords and as someone who works from home and has been chatting with this group for years now I don’t want to fracture it by adding friction. I agree Discord has limitations and I don’t align with them as an American corporation but it is what I got for now and it works well.

VHC and VTC the website are anarchist groups and the VTC discord is Left-Unity. I left that vegan matrix chat because of trolling and the fact that I don’t align with the politics I saw discussed and presented there. There were racists, liberals and support for wars and states and I’m not willing to promote that with my website. Maybe I mistook and I am wrong, I am not always right about everything, but what I was reading the general chat there and for some reason that they are tolerant of bigots and libertarians so I removed the link to that server for that reason when I parted the room.

Fridge wraps are the best, thanks for sharing! Looks like a better wrapping job than I do, I was only trained with blunts.

Not really, you aren’t systematically torturing mosquitos when swatting them to protect yourself. Vegans are against large scale insect control.

You are being purposefully fucking obtuse and ridiculous to make a shitty point.

One thing is for sure, emotional means bad and must be dismissed.

I don’t give a flying fuck about CO2. I care that you are murdering an animal and ending its life for no reason. Animals have rights including the right to live without your torturing them and mudering them. Everything else is out of scope for veganism. It is an ethical position advocating for the rights of animals, not a utilitarian calculation.
