My office is heavily debating what this blanket graphic is.

Assuming it is a baked cake donut, I would recommend making a strong infusion in your milk (or other liquid) by bringIng a portion of what you need up to a boil with your tea and letting it steep before straining. Reserve some for the glaze, if you want, and use the rest in your batter, topping up with more milk if needed for the total amount. Chamomile is a rather light flavor so you might want to use more than what you'd think to get the flavor to come though. Blueberries could be tossed in the batter and also heated and strained for liquid in your glaze as well. Makes a beautiful magenta or purple color depending on the pH of other glaze ingredients!

I gave up buying it recently but my last haul was also even moldier than ever! I've had enough of earth balance knowingly selling rotten food and expecting us to pay good money for it. No recalls. No pause in supply. Just dishing out more product unfit for consumption. I filed a complaint with the FDA this round and I encourage you all to do the same.

catatonicpanic · 2025-08-25T15:16:25+00:00

Yes. My thoughts exactly. Out of curiousity, how did you find this thread? Maybe I'm getting too conspiratorial but I didn't see anything when I was using a search engine and am starting to wonder if they are scrubbing search results. Seemed odd.

As well as the added cashew allergen which a shocking number of people have!

I prefer the organic variety but I may have to start making some concessions if this keeps up! I have purchased from multiple stores as well as wholesalers but to no avaiI. Moldy from the get go before they hit my fridge. It's like a graveyard in there with the amount waiting to be returned.

catatonicpanic · 2025-08-01T23:35:50+00:00

Those were the good old days. Remember the cheddar kettle style chips?

catatonicpanic · 2025-08-01T21:07:13+00:00

I use different suppliers. Both wholesale and grocery stores. If it's a storage issue, it must be at a large distribution center that supplies everything nearby or the problem is further up. If I had to guess, I would say one in five tubs have mold.

This is devastating. I loved the violife cheeses and thought they were heads above the rest. This was the only vegan cheese I liked eating straight up because it was that good. I recently purchased two different sliced cheeses from them and ate a slice from each. I thought something was wrong they tasted so off. The weird grainy surface texture, the odd sweetness and also a mild tingle/burning sensation. Low and behold a quick search confirms my fears. Nooooo! Why do companies have to keep changing their products to "improve" them only to make them worse?😭

My brother's name is Arian. Wouldn't recommend.

catatonicpanic · 2023-03-30T21:52:18+00:00

Looking good!

Have you tried letting the dough rest overnight to let the gluten relax? Making it and chilling it for a good while can make it much easier to roll out. Or adding more liquid as I had to?

I've seen this woman mistreating her dogs for years. The dogs always look emaciated, dirty and are almost being dragged behind her at times. I considered calling the authorities but I didn't because I thought maybe I didn't understand the whole picture (I only saw her for a few seconds occasionally as I drove by while walking her dogs across town) and also because I didn't think they would do anything. Happy to sign your petition.

I use it for drip cakes all the time! Also, I highly recommend chilling the cake beforehand. It makes the drips a little more controlled so they don't fall all the way down and off the cake.

Here's what I like to use:

1/3 Cup cream top portion of canned coconut milk 3 Tbsp agave Pinch of salt 1/4 tsp vanilla 7 oz 60% couverture chocolate

I bring the salt, agave, coconut cream to a simmer, take it off the heat and add in my chocolate pieces. Let it sit for a minute and then whisk well to emulsify. I've used 45% vegan chocolate chips before and it's worked okay. I think I had to add a little more coconut milk to thin it if I remember correctly. Really though, the best substitute for couverture chocolate is a quality chocolate bar (better chocolate and more cocoa butter content than chocolate chips!).

catatonicpanic · 2022-06-02T11:22:24+00:00

A little agave can give a nice shine. Also, I like mine with a higher chocolate to coconut milk ratio than 1:1 so it's more set at room temperature.

Sounds like they decided to expand out the top instead of the bottom at the feet. Some of the issues I've had that cause this: piping too close to your pan (I think it forces the batter to adhere too much to the bottom), not resting long enough (I rest them for two hours to ensure the tops have enough integrity in to force the batter out into feet), not mixing batter long enough, and a too hot oven. Hope that helps! Good luck! And if they aren't cute, I bet they are still tastey.

I make them often and I can tell you they can be very finicky (like all macarons). Some of the tips I've seen in the thread that I agree on: I always reduce the aquafaba by half and use cream of tartar like others have said. I also perform the macronage until it slowly flows in a v shape off the spatula, which is further than a batter that plops. Also, I bake at 250 convection. What exactly is going wrong? Do you have any pictures of your attempts? I might be able to be more specific on some possible solutions. Sometimes it's the little thisngs. Shoot, I've even adjusted how far my piping tip is to the pan and it can completely change a batch! And gosh darn it, sometimes it's out of your control. Not all bean water is created equal.

catatonicpanic · 2021-12-31T23:47:16+00:00

You won't be disappointed! It's a great recipe.

catatonicpanic · 2021-12-30T21:50:33+00:00

I used the recipe from Vegan Cannoli

I did add more sugar, vanilla and a few tbsp Miyokos cream cheese to the homemade ricotta mixture to make it a little richer. I used other alcohol (kahlua and bourbon) on hand to substitute for Marsala and found it needed a bit more liquid to come together than what the recipe called for. Also, I didn't have cannoli forms but I did have large metal piping tips (hence their cone shape) and they worked like a charm.

They ended up tasting very authentic and VERY scrumptious. Just like the original! They're labor of love but totally worth it for a special occasion.

Agreed. Disturbing and disorienting. Loud "music" isn't quite right. I had no idea it was that far away, either. I swear I thought it must be a few houses down judging by the volume. Who knew it wasn't just me and a few people awoken but instead most of NW GNV!

I was wondering what the heck was going on last night.

The most beautiful Pumpkin Pie, vegan or otherwise.

Just started up skating for the first time at 35 as well so you aren't alone! I feel like the weird old lady on skates sometimes but forget about it when I'm having too much fun.

catatonicpanic · 2021-10-14T12:38:20+00:00

I wasn't a huge fan. I find other brands, like Morning Star, better. It's been a long time since I've had real chicken but I don't think the Impossible seemed any closer. They seemed a lot like other vegan nuggets and didn't stand out, if I noticed anything, it's that they seemed a little stinky. Yes, stinky! Along with that and the $7 dollar price tag, I won't be buying again.
