Last Thing You Bought?

[PTree15]

My mom was holding on to a biscotti jar for a friend who was moving and couldn't find space for it. Well, that was at least seven or eight years ago, and my mom really got used to having it. The friend is now building a big house and has room and wants it back, so I went online and found the same one. I'm not sure it's the same shade of tan, but it's close. I hope it arrives in one piece. My mom really liked the jar, so I think she will be quite surprised when I give it to her. It was on a site called Poshmark. I'd heard of it, but I'd never bought anything, so we'll see.

This...

It tastes nothing like cream cheese. I find it similar to the other brands. It's edible though. Just doesn't even come close to my Tofutti for being cream cheese.

I would love to see a pic of it-I was curious and looked them up and boy, they get fancy and expensive , and really beautiful!
I've made ginger biscotti from Isa's Vegan Cookies book and it's one of my favorite things! Too late to bake now

I don't ever buy it,but to my memory, mixing blending cashews with soy yogurt and some sugar, & letting it drain and thicken in a cheesecloth is creme cheese to me. When I've tried to sub sunflower seeds everything tastes savory. Recipes always seem to thick they're a good replacement. Too bad,so much cheaper!

I dislike this brand.

I have recently tried Nurissh and I don't like it either. My husband had the last of the melted cheese on a toasted bagel yesterday and I had some. It isn't horrible, but it sticks to your teeth. I prefer Violife.

The last things I bought were some vitamins and face serum from Amazon and some clothes from George at Asda online.

I dislike this brand.

I’ve never heard of it before so when it came up as an option on my curbside order, I figured I’d try it. I should have know better since I dislike any brand of cream cheese other than Tofutti. I’m concerned that at some point I’ll no longer be able to find Tofutti so I keep hoping one of the other/newer brands will somehow make me happy. So far, no deal, lol.

It`s a French brand and nearly all their plant based stuff taste either bad or so so.
I`m also a huge fan of Tofutti and eat it on a daily basis< I m also planning to take a tub home.

You are very good at making a lot of stuff yourself! I don’t have your ambition/inclination. I keep wanting to make butter again but I don’t want to deal with trying to clean the lecithin and coconut oil from the blender, lol.

I thought the texture of the nutrishh was ok, kind of like whipped cream cheese…but the taste was off. I think it will be ok on a toasted bagel with green olives. I’m hoping to not let it go to waste.

I agree with the savory flavor…I can’t see me having it with jam at all.

It's funny the things I like to make, so many things that should be easy I can't make myself do!
I'm with you on the 'buttah'! I've done it a few times and really like it, but can't stand the grease. I let the liquid soy lecitin go completely rancid!

I began to like vegan cheeses so much I decided I would make my own. I have Non dairy Evolution, and bought carageenen and refined coconut oil--I made two that kinda broke emulsions and haven't had vegan cheese since

The one I will make is the Better Buffalo by Miyoko. It's soy yogurt,raw cashew and agar and tapioca. We love the stuff so much! I think I started a thread in the recipe section

I guess I need to look into daily asthma inhalors again. I had my physical and she made a point of my needing better maitenance. So crazy expensive with no real options, whether generic or brand! Last one I got was from Goodrx and that was 80 and took a long time to find

Here it is. I got it for $21, so I didn't think that was too bad.
This is close to what I got. The one I got is more beige/tan:

So, where do you get your protein?

I bought a new kettle today, as my electric kettle died. My only criteria for buying a kettle...no plastic. You would think that wouldn't be so tough, but I had to search all over town today. My new one is not electric and I really don't mind.

Does your kettle have plastic? I'm not okay with that. I don't know about you.

@Veganite The only plastic parts in my cookware are the handles or the lid knobs. Plastics are well-known for having low melting temperatures, so they're kind of a bad choice for something that will get hot. My cookware handles have a metal base where they attach to the kettle or pot, and the plastic never even gets warm. (Maybe it's because I almost always have the heat quite low. I often see the cooks at Chinese restaurants cooking things quickly over high heat, flames licking at the pans, and I doubt anything with ANY plastic parts would last long under those conditions!!!)

My kettle does not have plastic, and it's not electric. A friend gave it to me as a housewarming gift. I love it.

Finally dragged hubby into the eye doctor with me today. We're both getting new glasses!

A crown for my front tooth!
Didn't think I'd come out with that-I have a flexible spending acct I can only use on dental and vision ( stupid conflict with health saving account) and thought I'd get an old crown replaced. He said the tooth under it would most likely be unable to save in removing the crown so we started on my chipped front teeth lower and upper....any way I'm getting a crown and won't look so wonky
