What does a vegan want for Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries? Other than to not be hassled by drunken meat-eating relatives intent on calling you a hypocrite because you eat seitan which happens to look like chicken?
I thought I’d put together a list of my own vegan desires and that maybe it would help your family come up with gifty ideas for you on your next b-day or whatever. Also, if you see my DH, please tell him about this post. ;-]
A Vegan’s Wish List
- A chest-type freezer like this one. (birthday coming up in May!! hint hint DH)
- An OXO salad spinner like this one. Got it!
The rest is truly wish list, not absolutely critical like the two items above. ;-]
- More counter top space in the kitchen, maybe by building a shelf for the microwave? And storage cabinets above the fridge?
- The Uncheese Cookbook
- My Sweet Vegan Cookbook
- A VitaMix or a Blendtec (bar none)
- A cast iron skillet, deep and of regular size, not overly large nor small
- A bread machine
- One each of the two pitchers on this page
- Hazelnut extract, I can’t find it anywhere
- Stock in The Chicago Soydairy
- Twinkie kit from ebay
- Just about anything from this Etsy seller.
- 2 Cup-a-Cakes
- 1 To-Go Ware Tiffen with newsprint utensil set
- KitchenAid® Artisan Series Stand Mixer
- An amazing pair of tongs that won’t break
- Nordic® Ware Bundt Brownie Pan
- Nordic® Ware Chrysanthemum Bundt Pan

For hazelnut extract or hazelnut flavoring check out larger Asian markets. They should have all kinds of extracts and flavorings from various nuts, fruits, and flowers.

Lorrwill,
You just saved my day! I had no idea you could make extracts at home. Definitely will give this a try. Thanks!
