I do make a miso gravy and find that miso is a very unique flavour...hard to replicate. Maybe that's why it was hard to turn the fondue into something wonderful without it.<BR/><BR/>Miso - I buy mine in a health food store or in Chinese grocery stores.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26130907.post-1149961659578198122006-06-10T10:47:00.000-07:002006-06-10T10:47:00.000-07:00Hi Brooke.I just found your blog.

Now, I haven't had fondue since I was a little girl, so maybe I just don't like it, but....I don't know, I used the amount of mustard it called for...and I use nutritional yeast quite often and like it, but to me, it just tasted rather mustardy. The spinach artichoke dip is a wonderful idea, though. I hate being wasteful (and I hate it if my boyfriend sees me try a vegan recipe that doesn't work out, hehe).<BR/><BR/>My boyfriend saw my bag of nutritional yeast in the pantry the other day (I just moved in with him, so he's not used to seeing all of my funky vegan ingredients). He asked what it was and when I told him, he was rather freaked out by it (even though he's had it in stuff before and just didn't know it). Do you have trouble getting your husband to accept things with nutrional yeast?Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10125482780608380318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26130907.post-1149610174560002452006-06-06T09:09:00.000-07:002006-06-06T09:09:00.000-07:00Kari, I feel for you!

It's so hard to know what we know and feel the way we do, and still live in a meat-eater's world, especially when we share our intimate lives with them. I still struggle, but have started to find a little balance...I try to remember the times when I would fail at my vegetarianism (especially when I was pregnant)...I would eat meat on occasion and I was able to deny my feelings and instincts just to settle my cravings. I guess that our men can do this pretty easily, deny how they may feel. I know that it is a big lifestyle change for a lot of people to go veggie, and I think that may be part of why my husband isn't interested...he doesn't like to change (especially when it is for someone else). <BR/> Just keep doing what you do, and know that you are influencing a bunch of people who read these blogs. I know that I have made a dent in some of my friend's thinking...and some of them have gone veggie because of it. :-)<BR/>-BrookeBrookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17444634309396273919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26130907.post-1149608807621002542006-06-06T08:46:00.000-07:002006-06-06T08:46:00.000-07:00brooke, i just wanted to update you on the carnivo...brooke, i just wanted to update you on the carnivoure husband thing. Ack. we had our first real "argument" last night about This Subject. The man has decided to go back to High Protein. :::ROLLING EYES::: because he needs to lose some weight (and I bit my tongue SO HARD it may have fallen off...) because he doens't need The Good Dr.Atkins to help him lose weight, he needs PORTION CONTROL. we don't live in the same house right now, because we're selling our home, and he's living where his new job is 400 miles away. So, everyday is a free for all when it comes to food, and apparently animals are the food of choice. It makes me sad, for him, and for them. I felt angry for the first time last night, and it was strange.<BR/>Now I have the same questions as you. Ack.<BR/><BR/>hugs.<BR/>KariKariDyanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07226890475518109573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26130907.post-1149605582491873702006-06-06T07:53:00.000-07:002006-06-06T07:53:00.000-07:00eatpeaceplease, welcome to my blogdom!
