Best Vegan Mac & Cheese

Basically I started off using a vegan mac and cheese recipe found on vegweb, here

But after tweaking to be easier and cheaper I have come up with the following recipe:

Ingredients:

1 pound of elbow macaroni

"Cheese" Sauce:
1 cup unsweetened nondairy milk
1 cup mashed potato flakes
2/3 cup canola or vegetable oil (debating using apple sauce)
2/3 cup water
2 packets or teaspoons of chinese soy sauce
about 1/3 of (14 ounce) block [lite] firm tofu
2/3 tablespoon garlic powder
2/3 tablespoon paprika
dash of salt
Saltines


Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Boil water in a big pot and cook pasta according to package directions.

2. Add all of the "cheese" sauce ingredients in a blender and process until smooth. This may be difficult so I tend to split it up and do it in sections. Once pasta is cooked, drain and put it in the baking pan (about the size of a brownie pan). Pour the "cheese" sauce over the pasta.

3. Break/grind saltine crackers on top of macaroni.

4. Bake until the top of the pasta looks slightly browned and crispy, about 15 minutes.


Serves: 1-10 people. (I can very much devour this whole thing, but served as a side dish, could serve 8-10.)
Preparation time: I'm a spazz cooking, so it took me about 20 minutes;
Cooking Time: 15 minutes

-This original recipe had called for nutritional yeast, however what I found was incredibly expensive. So this is great because it has no nutritional yeast in it and is amazingly tasty. Also the original called for a dallop of mustard, this may give it that yellow color but I didn't feel like putting in the mustard. I don't mind if its more a hummus color.

--I'm making it at the moment to bring back to school, however I will probably eat it for breakfast and lunch tomorrow! So good!

Oh Hello, November

I can't believe its already November 20th, and will be the 21st in less than an hour. It's almost done!
Which is very good, its been a bad month acedemically.
Every test, I do bad on. Thought I'd get a 90 or at least an 80 (but I'd be disappointed with that) on my Anthropology test. I ended up getting a 65.
a 65!

I reviewed my test and it was things like "a,b, not C" or "all of the above" "none of the above" which i feel are tricks. And one legit dumb choice on my half.
Totally lame.

Basically after that I just hate doing anything because I am doing so bad in everything.
I can't wait until Tuesday to go home!!
I have anthropology Wednesday morning, we are watching a movie. She said "this doesn't mean don't come to class" ... ok I'm not gonna sit in traffic for an 55 hour class/movie. So I am leaving Tuesday evening.

I cant wait to see my Norman. My newborn cousin's baptism is tomorrow, and him and my whollle family are going to be there. I'm pumped. It's being held 20 minutes away from here, so its perfect.

Lame update because nothing at alllll has happeneeedddd.


Except.

Four Lokos have been discovered.
but now
Four Lokos have been banned.

Long story short.

SUBTLY FOR DIANA, do not fb refernece this or IM about this until further notice, but u can reply here. lmao. (but ur onur way home tomorrow/now/sometime soon so i think it'd be safe)

I must be a gorgeous girl.
or easy.

Boy from high school, who I've been in LOVE with since 9th grade...
Is coming to see me tomorrow, or in like. 4 hours.

he's afraid im not serious in wanting to see him.
and he goes "i thought u have been cute forev..im just kinda n asshole"
bc. well. he was a senior when i was a freshman, and he started dating this girl.. we used to talk all the time [online] and somewhat in person, we were in plays together. and well i knewww of him since. elementary school.
and then he started dating her, and we stopped talking so much. and then we started again that summer, and then he left for college. and we talked minorly, but then stopped for like, 4 years. and started again last year.
and he was like "me n u are 6 years n building but we're both gutless" lol he allllways chickens out, i just thought he was being a jerk. which he may very well have been but whatever.
I owe this to 15 year old me, no matter what.

The phrase that comes to mind, is "lord of the dicks" is me. its liek a bad porn name. but i still feel thats me. hahaha. i need to write a book.
