I guess, because I've been veg*n for almost 20 years, I can look at a recipe and know that parmesan or eggs or really anything can be substituted. And once you're used to them, substitutes don't taste bad -- in fact, I prefer them, otherwise I wouldn't be veg*n. If I wanted something to taste like parmesan, I would eat parmesan. But I don't. Because my personal opinion is that it's disgusting. Which is why I don't eat it. I never understood why veg*ns try to replicate non-vegan food. Eat veg*n food for what it is. A "tu-no" sandwich will never be a tuna sandwich, that doesn't mean it's not tasty in its own right.

I never understand why veg*ns have to be so nasty. I admit that the original post should have included a disclaimer about being "mostly" vegan or "some substitutions needed," but it's a simple request.

I bought that painting from Christian Junghanns--super fantastic to deal with, but keep in mind, shipping from Europe was more than the painting. :(

Nooo, please don't advertise for El Prado. It's still cool. ;)

I framed a 5x7 photo for above my bed (off-center) and I still haven't been able to make myself hang it. :( Maybe, though, with the mat(te?) I could take the glass out?

(Born and raised on the west coast, so I've always just had fun headboards instead.)

I knew that half disco ball was more than meets the eye. Very cool idea.

RE: No, I'm not a maverick, but at least I don't try to go out of my way to make other people's lives miserable.

Yes, hejiranyc, their only goal was to make other people's lives miserable by taking up a parking space that would otherwise be filled with a car. You're right, those bastards.

My old and stubborn cat used the CitiKitty just fine and did well with the toilet until she got her kidney disease, so we're back to the litter box. Point being, it can be done. And it's a hell of a lot nicer and less stinky.

Palmetto,
This IS on 3rd and Muirfield...

I love this house. The fact that we're all talking about it is, like, Mission Accomplished. He made a name for himself and all he had to do was put shit in his front yard and buy an ugly SUV. I mean, why didn't I think of that?

Oh, wait.
