Good for her, I really wish her well.
If she cane make a taste desert nice.

I have tasted vegan deserts....and well um the only thing that comes to mind is gross.

"yummy" vegan baked goods

Because it's an oxymoron.

[autumnraine]

Wow, a potential liberal vegan, with conservative values.

I bet she’ll be a political conservative once regulations and taxes (and Obamacare) come into play.

Don’t hate on vegans, I actually respect their self control.

The world never has enough desserts.

[Jack Hydrazine]

Like I really need all estrogen from the soy!

I hope she's made it a point to make sure that the plastic and cardboard containers/packaging are “yummy” so that at least something is edible.What? All the packaging is made of hemp? Never mind.

[loungitude]

She needs to give up her veganity.

[Kirkwood]

She’ll soon find out that giving away the recipe is lousy for business.

[knarf]

What’s so vegan about sugar ?

[Hildy]

Hold on...what a bunch of hypocrites....this young woman is a true capitalist..she saw a need in the market and she grabbed it. Just because you don’t like what she’s selling doesn’t mean that she should be ridiculed. Don’t buy it.

I don't understand. She took matters into her own hands? Wasn't she supposed to write letters, organize protests, start a petition and demand her civil rights from the government?

[Finny]

Yeah, and when this sixteen year old is a 37 year old with problems caused by calcium deficit or some calcium-related malady derived from getting calcium mainly in supplments -- osteoporosis or whatever -- she'll have learned the hard way that vegan's little unicorn wish of not hurting anything in pursuit of food, is wishing as hard as you can that two and two is five because it should be five if the world was fair. And it's just not fair to use animals for food or anything else!

While mowing down entire habitats to plant row crops that must be watered with water pirated from some ecosystem somewhere ...

*sigh*

Veganism is insanity, breathtakingly arrogant, profoundly reason-impaired and emotion-impaired. Look at vegans in the animal kingdom. The human body powered on a vegan diet is like a running a high-performance car on leaded regular gas. Physics is going to win every time.

Vegan cuisine leaves me cold; Altarian is much better.

Banana Cicada Bread:

Ingredients:

1/2 cup shortening
3/4 cup sugar
2 ripe bananas, mashed
2 cups flour
1 tsp soda
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup dry-roasted cicadas
1/4 cup chopped nuts

---

Directions:

For bread: mix together all ingredients. Bake in a greased loaf pan at 350º for about 1 hour or until the bread tests done.

For cicadas:

Newly hatched cicadas make the best eating because their shells have not yet hardened. Mature females are the next best thing. Adult males have fairly hollow abdomens, while the females are fat-filled. (Males have a rounded back end females have pointed back ends.) Collect then in a paper or plastic bag early in the morning, just after they’ve emerged but before they’ve climbed out of reach.

Blanch in boiling water for 4-5 minutes. This solidifies their innards and gets rid of soil bacteria. Cook with them immediately or freeze them. Remove all hard parts (wings and legs) before using.

To dry-roast, place cicadas on a cookie sheet and roast for 10-15 minutes at 225 degrees. They should have a soft dry consistency, a bit like a nut. Roast longer, if still moist inside. When dry, grind coarsely and use as a nut substitute in baking or as in ice cream topping.
