81. Vegan mac and cheese using nooch is great.

It is really easy to make, inexpensive, and delicious. Fully satisfied my Mac and Cheese desire.

I wish I could say the same about vegan pizza, but so far all my efforts have failed to repro the melted mozzarella effect that is essential to the pizza experience.

Chemistry-set cheese doesn't excite me enough to risk it. lastlib Nov 2023 #63

Thank you for admitting to that. It goes a fair length towards logical invalidation, as it shows Celerity Dec 2023 #65

Have you? ExWhoDoesntCare Dec 2023 #70

I am not the one passing judgement on it. I am not a vegan but I eat plenty of plant-based food here in Celerity Dec 2023 #75

Huh? Why do you care? Voltaire2 Dec 2023 #82
