Yeah but Kraft Mac can be easily made in five or six minutes total, using the microwave. No idea why people bother with the stove if it's just Kraft.

That works out to $4.53/lb combined, which would be a bit high for our area (though admittedly we don't get duck at the butcher because so many people give away the ones they shoot there's no market for it).

Wait, what? My quick n dirty mac n cheese (bechamel plus cheese plus pasta) sauce cooks in the same amount of time that the pasta does. It may not be as silky as the roux sauce in a 3-hour beef stew, but it'll do in a hurry.

Roux-thickened sauces taste like flour if you don't cook them for 20 minutes.

20 minutes? 10-12 for a blonde roux, which doesnt taste like flour at all.

Sorry you don't know what flour tastes like I guess. Next time you make a roux-thickened sauce, pull some of it off after 10 minutes and the rest after 20-30 and compare them.

I guess not... I have always gone 12 minutes on the roux and then moved on with the sauce. Never had any complaints. I will try taking longer next time.

Well like I said duck is given away here in the great open wilds of Nevada and elk goes for the same price as beef and venison, so usually in the $2-3 per pound range depending on cut etc. That's at a butcher, though. You can still pay silly amounts of money on red died industrial meat at the supermarket if you want. And Whole Foods will charge double what the supermarkets charge. The secret, really, is buying from good local butchers like kiteless is doing, or raising your own which is really the best thing.

Oh! This includes the sauce-cooking time. You need to cook the flour and fat for about 20 minutes total. Simmering the sauce for ten minutes will do it.

I'll give this a shot because I'm curious, but I'm not buying it. Possibility: as a personal preference I tend to take my roux a couple shades past blonde, even for white sauce. Maybe that's cooking the flour sufficiently that I don't have to simmer at as long.

Butcher was trying to make room for new stuff, so he had a fire sale on the elk ($3/lb; ground and frozen) and $2/lb on the sausage. Everything else is just reasonably priced.

Duck tenderloin is like a chicken tender(loin), apparently. There are a whole bunch in the bag to make up 1 lb.

Edit: Seattle area, and food is not cheap here. Grocery stores regularly sell bonelesss skinless chix breasts and flank steak for $10/lb, not that I buy them.

To thicken, not to get rid of the taste. The time spent making the roux counts towards this time too.

Thanks for the kind words about the book! There were some lovely 1-star reviews that said that apparently, a vegan book shouldn't discourage eating animal products. I guess they missed the big honking VEGAN right there on the cover. >_<

Also, apparently I have to sound like a loving robot when I write recipes. Any personality or chatting is horrible writing.

SEE ALSO: Assholes who are inconsistent. Honey is loving not vegan.

Don't be so black and white, this is something that vegans do argue about. Veggie Cuddler Girl actually bakes with honey, but she knows better then to say that on her blog, lest she start a vegan blog war.

There is no medical reason for veganism, it's a moral choice made of conscious. And therefore, inherently subjective. If you are bothered by exploitation of animals, what happens to cows at industrial milk farms is in a different league from commercial bee keeping. We need bees to fertilize our food crops anyway, so it's not like you are avoiding the exploitation of bees just by not eating honey. Plus, local honey is really good for you.

But hey, if your take on veganism precludes honey... then don't eat it! Whatever works for you, man. People should be able to eat what ever they hell they want without having to justify it to anyone else.

Marmalade is hit or miss for me. One of my friends sent me a jar of blood orange marmalade for Christmas, and it's spectacular. Most commercial brands either have too much pith or are oversweetened.

You must deal with different vegans than I do. I deal with the ones that aren't just in it for a personal choice, they act like they have the moral superiority to dictate my choice too.

'cause youknow, I'm too stupid to choose my own food, feed myself and take care of any medical needs. If they were Baptists they'd be the ones that'd make blue laws and watch to see who doesn't go tot church on Wednesday.

I know for a fact that the person who picked it up tried to keep it as their own. I keep in a case, where when I open it, the kindle is stored upside down, because I hate pressing the power button found on the bottom of the device. What do you know, when I have it back, it was right-side-up. Also, when I got home, the thing was deregistered already. I think I got it back, because Puppy called Amazon, and had them deactivate the thing, and essentially make it impossible for anyone except for me to use it.

I think it's mainly the fact that it was more or less turned into a doorstop, with a bunch of really bad smutty romance novels, Mercedes Lackey, Terry Pratchett, Piers Anthony, and other various cookery books in that made them return it.

I believe it's called karma. My cellphone fell out of my pocket on the tube once. I went home and called it, sure that I'd get it back, as I'd be sure to try and return it to somebody if I found theirs. After a while someone answered - a station staff member to whom somebody had handed it in. Many people are honest.

A few weeks ago I left it sitting on top of the self-checkouts at Home Depot - mind you, I remembered like 15 minutes later and went and got it, but the staff had already looked through it to try and call me, and then went and locked it up when someone turned it in.

My boss was letting me use his kindle in the meanwhile, because he's a sweet man who just works like that. <3 He was doing most of his kindle reading on his iphone/ipad anyway, so he didn't mind. I'm really lucky to have gotten it back so /fast/. I thought I'd never see it again. That was one awful night.
