Disappointed in something you've cooked?

I made a pizza tonight using vegerella 'cheese' epic fail.

Next time you're in the produce area look for a male eggplant. They have less seeds and will be less bitter. The female has an "0"-type butt end. The male has more of a "---"-type butt end. It's more like a line than an "0".

As with humans, female eggplants have "innies" and male eggplants have "outies" hehe

My motto regarding food is, "If I can choke it down and it's vegan, it's delicious because I'm not going to get anything else."

Seriously, though, my recent experiments with soy cheese haven't been wonderful. Tofutti's was just awful and Teese was somewhat better but still definitely not worth the price. From what I've read about it tofu production it sounds like it's the soy parallel to cheese, which probably explains why it's so much better.

The worst thing that happened recently with my cooking wasn't entirely my fault... I asked my boyfriend to pick some unsweetened soy milk up for me on the way home for pasta in a white sauce, I made the sauce and it turned out disgusting, I've never tasted anything so horrible in my life! He bought sweetened by mistake.

Ive done that. Sweetened vanilla soymilk to make white sauce..my lasagne tasted like it was coated in custard!

I cook a lot of terrible things, a load of tomato ketchup or a jar of domlio pasta sauce works wonders on almost everything. then add lots of tabasco so the burning hides the fail, tadaa!

Oh weird, but good to know!

Sometimes I'll find a vegan recipe for something I used to eat and I'll make it and it won't turn out like it used to taste (probably because it's vegan and won't taste the same anyways) and that kinda sucks.

Not too long ago I picked up a spaghetti squash. I hadn't had one in years and was thrilled. Unfortunately I seasoned it wrong and it was horrible. I tried choking it down to no avail. I think it was a combo of too strong an olive oil with fake pasta cheese. Bleck!

I tried some kind of a mushroom gravy with silken tofu. YUCK!

My husband liked it though...

I will be Veggie 20 years in December and everything that I have attempted to make with Tofu....comes out awful and not salvageable let alone edible....LOL....Awful Just Awful!!

I always mess up eggplant. Either bitter or added to much oil because those suckers soak it all up!
