Google says that's $7.83. Ours is $7.25, you posh bastards! Angry

But you didn't agree on a wage before you accepted the job? What if they pay you in party hats and noisemakers?

Well Friday is pay-day, so I'll see. Pleased

So if I bought something vegan in a shop it would definitely have no flavour in it?

I thought minimum wage was £5 or 6 something.

Or is there a different one for different ages...?

Different for different ages.

Playing it safe after the taramasalata that wasn't yesterday.

Has it been identified yet? Did you phone CSI?

No, I think it was some sort of face cream. Didn't do any harm though, so all good.

Yum.

Not yet, but it's on the list somewhere.

Probably? Pleased It does sound good though.

I'm going to make English Muffins next.

I'm using this book if you're interested :) - See Amazon product listing

I've made English muffins before. Mine weren't really worth the effort. Homemade hot cross buns were delicious however.

Tatty scones are 50/50 mashed potato and plain flour. Mix it up, roll it out till thin (the Irish have a thick version - no pun intended) and cut out into rough triangles. Shallow fry, sprinkle with salt and serve.

I'm going to have to make some tomorrow now.

Yes. Definitely. Although it does depend on the shop.

What do you use instead of milk?

I use the Shop Brands Soya Milk or if I'm treating myself Alpro Soya (which tastes a lot closer to real milk) In general soya milk tastes like watered down milk, but you get used to it and to be fair, real semi skimmed is just water downed milk anyway.

Good vegan cheese is hard to find. There's a vegan cheese in America called Teeze and it's meant to replicate stringy pizza cheese really well. Haven't tried it though, because it has to be imported.

There's lots of great vegan cheese spreads though. With a range and taste just like real cheese spread. There's also slices, but they're expensive and I don't think it's worth thr price for just 8 slices.

Annnd! It's quite easy to make your own cheese sauces and fondues. Usually involves flour, nutritional yeast and nuts mixed in a blender.

Hope that helps. :)

Yes, I've had them before. Although they were called Irish Potato Farls and they were store bought, which made me think I could do a lot better.

Yeah, you wait. You wait till I feed you vegan cookies and cakes! Then who'll be laughing? Not me... Huh?

Ha! Is that possible? Do they have a special ingredient? Can you send me them now? Can I use anymore question marks?

Aw, you helpful little bunny.
I really hate the taste of soya milk, so I've been using Lactofree milk (which tastes just like normal milk). Lactofree also do a cheese, which tastes just like normal cheddar.

I miss all the nice different crumbly cheeses though. :(
And I need something I can use on a pizza. Maybe I try that Teeze one.

Is interesting, but annoying. I wish I was normal. Teary

I dunno????????

The special ingredient(s) in cake would normally be the egg replacement. Which is the weird mix of Cider Vinegar and Soya Milk (which curdles when you mix them) :D

It's f**king easy to make basic cookies:

100g Sugar
100g Butter

(Mix into a smooth batter)

150g Flour

(Add to the flour.)

1 tsp Vanilla Essence/Extract and/or Almond Essence/Extract

(Add those)

Mix it all together!

Add some chocolate chips or whatever you fancy.

Bake in a preheated oven (180 Degrees) for 8-10 minutes.

Eat! Or I like them to cool for a bit so they go crunchy.
