and, um, can you compost eggshells?
You sure can!
I don't know about you guys, but I've had it with super-strong little women who aren't me.

Many of my vegetables go to the compost bin without an interim "cooking" stage. I buy vegetables, but then I stare at them and think, "I don't feel like cooking you." Then they become slime and I compost them.
I haven't had a disposal in years. The main thing I don't like about not having one is retrieving the disgusting bits of food from the drain thing.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
My god, I just saw an ad for "Hillbilly Handfishin'." Damn.
ION, still no internet at work. So I came home.

Steph makes those, but they're definitely not vegan.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Yep, this is why I quit buying produce. It's better for me to go a mile up the road to a restaurant and get a salad, than to buy produce in anticipation of a day when I might want to make one, which has never happened.

Our wings are not tired.
Yeah, Steph, I remember that Pix got them from you.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
and, um, can you compost eggshells?
Usually, yes. We don't in my bulding because we're short on "browns" (no lawn = no lawn clippings, so we beg bags of leaves from our neighbors) and they take forever to decompose. And they attract racoons.

But I can't really claim them as mine, per se (so I shouldn't have immediately jumped to defensiveness); I got them from a friend who got them from Vegetarian Times. I'm just a conduit and a consumer (nom nom).

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Hil (or anyone), do you have a good recipe for vegan lasagna? Is it easier just to leave the cheese out completely than to try and substitute something?
The way I like it best is to substitute cashew ricotta [link] for the ricotta, and just forget the mozzarella. You can use a packaged vegan cheese for the mozzarella, but it usually gets so absorbed by everything else that you don't really notice it.
edit: I use a bit less lemon juice than the recipe calls for, and usually add a tablespoon or two of nutritional yeast.

Pfeh. I get to have a telecon in five with a contractor to negotiate a cost estimate without actually talking about costs. Because I'm not allowed to negotiate costs.
This is going to be fun. "Um, what did you think you were going to be doing, based on what I said you would be doing?"
ION, it's cool and misty in the Bay Area today. Welcome to July.
