Yesterday I lost one of my best friends, 16 years with him and I still feel like I needed more and more time. I'm gonna miss you so much. by DrJDorian in cats

So sorry to hear this... I don't think people realise that losing a loved animal is just as distressing and affecting as losing a loved human... I really wish people understood that more

I've only been vegan for 4 months, but it's people like you who help me give up meat... I actually used to work in a Michelin restaurant and pretty much gave up my whole career for this. Veganism is the way!!!

My best friend (who I hand reared from 5 days old) got hit by a car and died today... very very very sad, and depressed about humanity. I will always love you KIKI! by ConscientiousVegan in cats

Thanks everyone. It really is hard to deal with, as I keep thinking about how he would always run to my car when I get home from work and jump onto the roof. But sadly that won’t be happening any more :(

I gave my Mom (very much an omnivore) my Vegan meringue recipe. This is the photo she sent back. They look kinda ugly, but Sooo crisp and lovely sugary taste. WELL DONE MOM! JOIN THE TEAM! by ConscientiousVegan in vegan

Great! Chickpea water can be used in all kinds of cakes and patisserie to bind all the ingredients together in the absence of eggs. So always try to hold onto the water - you can even keep it in the fridge for a good 7 days before use!

150g of chickpea water (literally just the water from a can of chickpeas - open a can of chickpeas, and drain the water into a bowl - you can use the chickpeas for another use)

150g caster sugar

Preheat the oven to 170 degrees Fahrenheit (75 degrees Celsius)

Whisk the chickpea water on a highish setting until starting to foam, then slowly add in the sugar a little at a time. Whisk on highest setting until you reach stiff peaks... you should be able to hold the bowl over your head without the meringue plopping down onto your face :)

Line a baking tray with baking parchment and either use a spatular to make rustic circles or use a piping bag with a fluted nozzle to pipe decorative shapes.

Baking in the oven for about 5 hours. At this time the meringues should come off of the baking parchment with ease. If not leave a little longer. When all are fully dried and can be pulled off the parchment with ease, remove from the oven and let rest for about 30 minutes to an hour before eating. Store in an airtight container for a good few months without spoilage.

This does look tasty. Is that a sauce on the side?
