15. Favorite vegan recipe to serve to an omni friend?
Vegan "fake sausage" pizza, burritos or veggie lasagna. They do always work.

Jacques Grand Cru Noir 72% cacao, from Belgium. They sell it at the hard discount close to my house and its' the best dark chocolate I've ever had in my life.

25. Most extravagant food item purchased lately?
Vegan mayo is so expensive. Good tasting non-dairy milk usually is expensive too.

26. Ingredients you are scared to work with?
I'm scared to use silken tofu in "raw" ways (cheesecake is one of these, chocolate mousse is another one).

I can't turn this song off.



I miss my girlfriend from when I was about 12. She was a real b*tc* as a friend, but we were singing together and we were a great duo. We could have gone famous.
