sailing the seas of cheez

"sailing the seas of cheese" is one of my favorite albums by primus. les claypool is one cool dude. since going vegan, i've learned that i actually fare quite well without the stuff. even during the beginning stages of this pregnancy when i confessed to y'all that i struggled and have exercised a flexetarian muscle or two, the dairy-go-round backfired miserably. i have become lactose intolerant, quite literally. thank g-d for that blessing!

and i haven't really found a vegan cheez i've liked. the commercial stuff is way too expensive. last channukkah, mr. jewy got me the ultimate uncheese cookbook by jo stepaniak. i've tried 4 or 5 of the recipes and there's one that i really have come to love: the tangy hot or cold chedda sauce on page 69. to make it more awesome i added 1T of samba oelek and a handful of spanish olives in the blender with the recipe. yowza, that's a spicy cheez sauce!
i put it to good use on these here nachos
close-up! say cheeze!

I like that recipe too! Homemade vegan cheese has made me happier than storebought. I do kind of like the Follow Your Heart stuff, but it's still totally weird and un-food-like.

Yum! I haven't tried that recipe, but now I will. I love everything I've made from that book. I'm a sucker for fake cheeze in all its forms — sounds crazy, but I actually think the fake stuff (both homemade and storebought) tastes better than dairy cheese.

Interestingly, I've also found that when I write the word "cheese" in reference to dairy cheese, I always type "cheeze" at first. And then I have to go back and fix it. That happened when I wrote "cheese" in the first paragraph....

This has turned into a long comment. I'm sorry, but for some reason, I'm still typing.

I have that book and I think I only made one thing out of it. I'm going to have to give this a try. Thanks for the nudge!

I'll take a plate of those nachos, too! No matter that I just had nachos for dinner last night :) And yeah, gotta love Primus!

Woah! That looks really good. I'm not a fan of the faux, but might have to try it out.
