Various random thoughts & observations....

The Advantage II also goes between the shoulder blades. I've been using it for a few years now. My four are strictly indoor cats but I still treat them during the Summer months, because, guess what? They got fleas last year and then from the fleas they got worms! I was so mad. I had no idea they could get either since they don't go outside. We did have that mouse problem, though, and I think I read that mice carry fleas and fleas can transmit worms. So I continue to treat them. I like the Advantage because it works really well on fleas.

Just don't ever us Hartz, that stuff is deadly. I guess most people know that by now though.

My fingernails smell like celery & sesame oil. To be fair, I just rubbed sesame oil into my nails, and before that I was chopping celery. LOL

We used to use Frontline, but the vet told me that it didn't work so I switched to Advantage. They are all indoor cats and I haven't seen any fleas at all.

The next time I make my cashew cheese sauce, I'm going to use beer instead of water. Oooohoohoo, baby....

 

[MadamSarcastra]

I quite enjoy looking up in the sky on a sunny afternoon/evening and seeing the moon....

 

[MadamSarcastra]

Is it just me, or does the urge to urinate get noticeably much more intense the very second you enter a bathroom? I had to start doin' the pee-pee dance while I removed my apron.... LMAO

Half of our front lawn is more clover than grass....

 

[MadamSarcastra]

When I stand on the porch at night & look to my left, there are three elongated shadows... the furthest is the tree, the nearest is the telephone pole, & the the middle one (although I know it's comprised of the leaves on the tree) looks like there's an alien standing just around the corner of my house.

 

[MadamSarcastra]

Screw cake batter.... I wanna stick my face in the empty food processor bowl & lick the sides clean of cashew-cheese sauce. Nom! LMAO

Corn syrup is not a good substitute for maple syrup. Turns out is isn't very sweet despite having syrup in it's name. It makes for some very bitter brownies.

I only use corn syrup for grape nut bars and when I've made chocolate or caramel syrup. I wouldn't use any kind of syrup for brownies! Why not sugar? I'm done making vegan brownies anyway. I think brownies are top of my list for things better with eggs. Don't like when other people like things I make when I'm the one who wanted it, and I don't like it

The recipe I was using used maple syrup or agave and I didn't have either. I didn't want to try experimenting with substituting dry sugar. Black Bean Brownies - (No Flour Required!)

Black Bean Brownies - (No Flour Required!)

That sounds positively weird!

I've had black bean brownies before (with flour) and they were really good. Tasted like a traditional brownie. I am going to try this flourless recipe.

I don't get you people. I've had vegan "brownies" that were --awright, but vegan brownies are vegan brownies. I hate that other people like them. I hate when non vegans like vegan things I make that I dislike. No, I don't want to make them again
I've tried the second recipe from here site--blech. As good as the raw ones look--dates and chocolate are yucky.
I have improvised a weird tofu/cocoa/ a bit of flour that I did like- kinda more fudgey.
I've tried them with flax, with starches, tofu, beans. Disappointment.
I was a big brownie fan. Anyway, I make good cookies and cake

I would like to try these, but I fear they might have too "beany" a flavor. I've tried avocado pudding that people swore did not taste like avocado, but I didn't like it because I detected the avocado.

Some gluten free cookies are a good source for vegans . I am eating through "choc chip cookies" the tag says Gluten free ,Wheat free , Dairy free , Vegan , Egg free , no added yeast

 

[Calliegirl]

We ended up eating the whole pan of brownies even with the bitter taste, I guess neither one of us can pass up chocolate.

I sort of get that. Apparently I make delicious banana bread that gets requested all the time, but I don't really like banana bread very much. I usually taste things before giving them away to make sure they are good, so not thrilled with tasting the bread.

I tried to make that too, it was gross. I did have some sweet potato chocolate pudding once that wasn't that great at a potluck, but after a few bites I got used to the flavor and ate two bowls of it.

These are really good, but they are more fudge like than cake like.

Still taste like cocoa flavored black beans....
But yeah, pretty good...
