Just Need To Rant

[Fiddle-Faddle]

I know I used to get a soy cream cheese that was quite good--I think it was called "Better than Cream Cheese?" Made by Soy Delicious?

Hey Metta -- help her out here!!!!!

I am not an expert on dairy. I do use a hard cheddar goat cheese for grilled sandswiches, etc. I think it was Tarnelberry (quite awhile ago) who said that hard cheddar goat cheese has no casein in it. I am allergic to the casein. I do sometimes use a soft qoat cheese in place of cream cheese. I still watch how often I use that as I think that has casein in it. I am not sure and am being cautious as I don't want the reactions I had years ago. I had my Wild Oats order me the hard cheddar goat cheese and I buy a lot when I go there. I use it in place of all cheeses in recipes.

Better than Cream Cheese is a tofutti product. Don't know whether it is gluten free or not. I actually had a recipe for pumpkin roll that used that along with (I think) tofu mates vanilla pudding mix, pecans, fructose. I just sold that cookbook and would have to see if it is posted online on the gals website or not.

Hey Karen, I see you . . . . how long does it take for cake mixes to get to the states?????

I sent them the cheap/slow route - by nine days. Figured I would let you sweat it out and drool a bit.....

I think I have your neighbour issue figured out! I figure you have two options here:

1) PM Rusla and get her to conjure up a "Make a Neighbour from Hell Disappear" spell......

or

2) Make a voodoo doll of your neighbour and then punish the bejeebers out of her! Think of all the options you would have and the sheer enjoyment it would bring. Think pins, matches, dropping from roof, etc. etc......

Hugs.

Forget Rusla doing this. She only does the good Goddess things as the bad can come back to haunt her.

I am all for a Voodoo doll. At least Lynne could take her frustrations out on it, if nothing else. But, I think with a Voodoo doll you need nail clippings and hair from her neighbor. Would a dead flea and a piece of her gargage work instead?

Yikes!!! I don't mess around with that VooDoo stuff . . . too dangerous. I DO have two VooDoo dolls that my parents brought me back from New Orleans, and VooDoo beads that a friend brought back . . . (yes, she flashed for them . . . WHILE she was with her parents . . . . EWWWWWW), but once I met a lady who actually PRACTICED VooDoo. She scared the holy crap out of me.

I could conjure up some intent toward my next door neighbor that all the ill will that she puts out into the world comes back to her . . . . . Hmmmmmm......

She's rallying her troops . . . saw her going neighbor to neighbor today . . . and heard her talking (loudly -- because I could hear it from across the street -- I wasn't just eavesdropping -- which, by the way, isn't illegal and most of the time not even WRONG ) about the trash cans!!! What a rotten neighbor she is . . . .

Didn't really care because it was my daily trip to the mailbox, and I haven't had a blood pressure that registered today, so it's kind of like -- "Lady, I have a heck of a lot more important things to deal with than you." If she was as "disabled" as she claims to be, I don't think she'd have quite the energy that she does to create such trouble throughout the neighborhood.

I AM already sweating it out! Started eating yesterday -- had lunch AND dinner!! Also had both meals today! And gluten-free cereal for a snack tonight!! Getting my stomach stretched back out so I can have room for CAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
