Vegan Alfredo

My husband has joined Glibs under the name NotUsidore! To welcome him to the community, I thought tonight I would share his vegan Alfredo recipe.

Since going vegan, I’ve missed Alfredo more than anything. Happily, my meat loving husband has found a way to make a delicious vegan Alfredo that even he loves.

The secret is Chao cheese, a vegan cheese made out of tofu. It tastes like Havarti, and acts like cheese. It’s good enough that I can eat a slice and feel like I’m eating real cheese. It totally hits that craving.

Without further ado, I give you vegan Alfredo.

Vegan Alfredo

Delicious, creamy vegan alfredo, that even my non-vegan husband loves.

Roux

  • 2 tbsp Earth Balance Butter Alternative (heaping tbsp)
  • 1 tbsp white onion (minced)
  • 1 tbsp garlic (minced)

  • 6 slices creamy Chao cheese (vegan)
  • 1 tsp sea salt

  1. Melt the butter alternative. Add the onion, and cook over medium heat until soft.

  2. Add the garlic. Cook until just starting to brown.

  3. Add flour and create a roux.

  4. Add almond milk. Whisk until smooth.

  5. Add Chao and spices. Cook over medium heat until smooth and melty.

  3. Thanks for finally writing this up. It looked great when you had it! We need to get our hands on that “cheese.”

    1. I assume you can make it with normal ingredients?

  4. This can’t take an hour, is there extra time added in for telling everyone its vegan?

    1. westernsloper

      Not to dis on Webdoms tulpas recipe, but I assume it takes that long to whisk fake butter and flour into a roux and then add almond milk which is white colored water. I can see a long time to make this thicken up. Multiple chemical reactions need to happen compared to those of us who cook with animal fats such in a dish like Carbonara which is bacon, bacon fat, cream and Kraft shake can Parmesan.

      1. blackjack

        I’m pretty sure the Kraft shake can parmesan wouldn’t fly around here.

          (ssshhhh, don’t tell anyone but I have not seen a Kraft can of Parmesan since I moved out of my parents house in 1983. I am just trolling Hyperbole)

        4. Playa Manhattan

          I have the shaker, but it has cotija.

      2. Carbonara which is bacon, bacon fat, cream and Kraft shake can Parmesan.

          Yeah, there’s no cream in Carbonara.

      The parents of the Dayton gunman are apologizing for the wording in his obituary that didn’t mention the shooting that left nine dead, including his sister.

      Also huh.

      Without knowing anything about the parents, my first reaction is WTF is up with mobs shaming them into apologizing for their monster child?

          My dipshit Mayor just blamed homelessness on “racism,” apparently he hasn’t seen all those white kids slamming dope on the sidewalks downtown.

          1. Semi-Spartan Dad

            VCU built its freshman dorms around this park, Monroe Park, that is filled with homeless people. You may think that there would be foreseeable consequences when scores of young drunken, college ladies stumble home through that park at night. It seemed like every year, at least one girl was raped plus the usual lesser-key assaults, badgering, etc.

            City council forbade the police from doing anything to move the homeless out of there because of “racism”, though I remember a good number being white.

          2. Rhywun

            All the bums in my neighborhood are white. I guess that’s racism too.

    “Jeffrey Epstein Spent Time Alone With Young Female Prison Visitor

    The day after he was taken off suicide watch, disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein spent at least two hours locked up alone with a young woman, in a private room reserved for inmates and their attorneys, according to an attorney who was visiting the prison that day.

    “The optics were startling. Because she was young. And pretty,” said the visiting attorney, who asked that his name not be used because he didn’t want to create friction with the prison administration. He speculated the woman could be a lawyer— NBC News has reported that Epstein paid members of his team to sit with him in a room for eight hours a day for attorney-client meetings, allowing him to avoid his cell. ”

        I have to pull my bbq apart every now and then and clean the areas that don’t get enough heat. Mainly all the stuff that builds up under the burners. And then the tray that catches all that stuff needs to be cleaned too, as well as the grease trap.

        My solution to this problem is to allow everyone to hate one particular group of people. You can hate homosexuals, whites, blacks, Jews, women etc, but you have to limit it to one group. Allow people to blow off that toxic steam.

    2. Heroic Mulatto

      A shame. 2 Chili is speaking truth to power there.

      1. straffinrun

        It may be whataboutism, but many right leaning libertarians complain of the cosmos not calling out the left’s racism. He should’ve thrown some of that in just to be fair. It looks a lot like a he just doesn’t see it. To bad cuz I like J.D.

        1. Heroic Mulatto

          I didn’t read it as a right v. left distinction as much as bringing up two examples of folks who mixed up collectivism in their libertarianism. And as he notes Molyneux (whom I never considered libertarian) parted ways a long time ago, as did many others. Remember how the vast majority of “neo-reactionary” mouthbreathers left HnR circa 2016 when they found a more hospitable host to parasite off of? That’s the phenomenon he’s commenting on.

          And it may be whataboutism, but let’s also be honest. Are the cosmos buddying up, in any visible way, with AntiFa? Like really? Do we see Gillespie or *shudders* Wilkinson
          hanging out at AntiFa rallies and speaking at conferences? Of course not. However, unfortunately, there has been a long history, since Rothbard’s populist strategy, of breaking bread with folks like David Duke and company. Many self-styled libertarians want the free-market, but not anti-collectivism, or even the NAP (Hoppe’s rhetorical pretzel-twist around it notwithstanding 😉 ). Thus we get shit like “Libertarianism in One Country” or “Libertarian Realism”, etc. etc. ad nauseam. When you have BHL’s like Zwolinski, Horowitz, or Long speaking at a conference sponsored by Linda Sarsour and AntiFa, then there would be an argument that 2 Chili didn’t give “equal time”.

          1. leon

            I will agree with the point that the Rothbardian wing has been much more likely to align that way. My big issue however isn’t that the “Cosmos/Reason/Koch” wing budy up with Communists. It’s that they seem to have little problem perpetuating the American Empire when it comes down to it. IMO John McCain and the warmachine are far worse than some Racists.

          2. Heroic Mulatto

            It’s that they seem to have little problem perpetuating the American Empire when it comes down to it.

            No argument there.

          3. leon

            Which I’ll admit has little to do with the article. And I think Dave Smith is just terrible on Immigration.

          4. straffinrun

            That was one Dave’s main criticisms. If we had followed Ron Paul’s advice back in the day, millions of brown people would still be alive today.

          5. straffinrun

            You’ve got the mainstreaming of “White Privilege” “Toxic Masculinity”and others that seem to me a much more pervasive strand of bigotry in current year USA than Molyneux, Hoppe or Rothbard. You’re right that there is a rise in “Libertarianism in One Country” or “Libertarian Realism”, etc. etc. ad nauseam. (very well put BTW) The danger is that by not calling out the obvious bigotry that is spreading through corporate USA, the media and universities, libertarians run the risk of alienating people who see it. JD isn’t substantively wrong, but presentation counts.

          6. straffinrun

            *Noting calling it out in this article. Reason has called that out elsewhere.

          7. Heroic Mulatto

            You’re not wrong. However, you don’t have too many folks who are part of big business, the media and universities who a.) style themselves as libertarians and b.) attempt to mix in race/gender-grievance and identity politics with libertarian ideas. I mean you have Bill Maher and that’s about it. But you have plenty of assholes running around on the Internet like this guy. I won’t begrudge 2Chill for prioritizing his targets.

          8. straffinrun

            It’s always the “…, however [racist bullshit]” with those guys. It’s an interesting dilemma; focus on purging the right racists and by default the ranks become more leftist. They are going to bring collectivist shit of their own to the movement even if we don’t like it. Of course our (my?) goal is to get a movement based on libertarian ideals. I prefer the NAP.

          9. Heroic Mulatto

            I don’t think we have to do anything. As their shit has gone more mainstream, they don’t have to stay in the waiting room for cranks that is modern libertarianism. Like Molyneux, etc. they can have their own identity now. I predict most of them will voluntarily identify as something else within next 5 years.

            Except Dondero. We’ll always be stuck with Dondero.

          10. straffinrun

            Or they take of “libertarian” like they did “liberal” and turn it into something awful. Welp, “NAPism” has a nice ring to it.

          11. DenverJ

            Oh, come now, we were founded after that purge. I’m about folks who scurried off to other places.

          15. westernsloper

            While I read HnR back then I was not in the groove enough to be up on what purge was what. Being a mouthbreather as in both my nostrils are clogged due to excessive nasal hair growth, dust and mold spores in my underground bunker I assumed you were talking about us parasites. My bad.

          16. Heroic Mulatto

            Yes, we were founded in 2017. 2017 parasites are a better vintage than the 2016 ones. We all know this.

          17. grrizzly

            Whom do you have in mind as the “neo-reactionary” mouthbreathers who left HnR circa 2016? I recall a few folks who disappeared in 2016–Nikki, Sudden, Irish–and never re-appeared here. But I wouldn’t call them “neo-reactionary.”

          18. kbolino

            The only one I can think of was Free Society but he actually posted here for a little bit, and he didn’t start off that way.

            Corning “King of All Gamers”, that guy who kept on changing handles but was going by AmericanThirdPosition for a while, I think there was someone who also went by NRx, if I recall.

          21. blackjack

            I remember when Reason was strictly print. You just read articles from smart people about how liberty was better and kept your thoughts to yourself. You had to buy it at the newsstand. Nobody knew what an ass I could be back then. Good ole days, indeed.

          22. Gustave Lytton

            Episiarch, or whatever his handle was, also disappeared around then.

          23. 0x90

            ProL drifted off

          24. BakedPenguin

            I can state that Episiarch, Nikki, and Pro Libertate all had different reasons for leaving, and none of them remotely had anything to do with white nationalism. I can’t speak to any of the others’ motivations.

          25. slumbrew

            Nikki left because she’s the worst, obviously.

          26. BakedPenguin

            “had anything remotely related to…”

            Damn English.

          27. Gustave Lytton

            I thought ProL made a brief appearance here at the start in between his health issues. And was more remembering the old names, not trying to imply that they left because of white nationalism or something like that.

          28. 0x90

            definitely, same here, though I was not aware ProL had health issues, sorry to hear that.

            on the other hand, pretty sure Chad and MNG drifted off into white nationalism.

        2. Scruffy Nerfherder

          The choice is individualism versus collectivism.

          If the argument becomes racist versus anti-racist, the Libertarians have lost the narrative and the argument.

    3. Scruffy Nerfherder

      Sorry JD, the difference between cosmos and paleos ain’t racist/not racist.

      1. Heroic Mulatto

        Eh, in recent years it sure has started to parse that way.

        1. Scruffy Nerfherder

          It’s a mistake on everyone’s part to play it out that way. It just feeds into the overarching cultural narrative that there are only two positions, racist and anti-racist. The false choice of the 21st century.

          Libertarianism was supposed to be a third way. But asshats like Gillespie and Sarwark seem only concerned about popularity with a media that hates them so they cozy up to the prevailing narrative. The Mises guys need to clean house and return to the fundamentals instead of trying to solely draw on opposition to the arc of the Libertarian Party. No more blood and soil comments for starters. Ignoring Reason et al would be probably help them.

          I’m drunk so I have no idea if that made sense. But it sounded good in my head

          1. Spudalicious

            I’m drunk, so it made no sense at all.

          2. Scruffy Nerfherder

          3. Heroic Mulatto

            No, I hear you. I don’t disagree, but I don’t ever seen them cleaning house. Part of the problem of believing in self-ownership, a right to association, and individual freedom is that you are comfortable in the presence of others who don’t think like you, even if they are garbage people.

            Neither side is cleaning house, and that is part of the problem. Nobody wants to say free speech for all anymore, it’s always “free speech, but” or “hate speech is not free speech” or “if you have something bad to say about the place, get out”, etc.

      I am not really up on #ProfessionalLibertarian infighting, but the same arguments looked at in a progressive mirror could be applied to other #ProfessionalLibertarians. Groupifying collectives is not only in the white nationalists bag of tricks. It is in many a bag carried to the cocktail parties other #ProfessionalLibertarians attend.

      “There is no ‘pipeline’ between libertarianism and the alt-right,” Reason’s Nick Gillespie wrote two years ago as the alt-right emerged as the latest embodiment of racist thought, such as it is. But “alt-righters need to be called out wherever we find them espousing their anti-modern, tribalistic, anti-individualistic, and anti-freedom agenda.”

      I would say that Nick is Wrong. I happen to agree with Malice on this, that there most definitely is a pipeline of Libertarianism to Alt-Right. It’s not inevitable, and it’s not that Most Libertarians go to Alt-right. Why is this? I think there are a lot of reasons. Part of it is that you are already considered a terrible racist Nazi for just being a libertarian. The other part is that you are disillusioned. Once you become disillusioned it’s easy to fall down into darker corners.

      1. straffinrun

        The “pipeline” analogy fails IMO. If libertarianism is so attractive to the racists, why do they leave? They leave because it doesn’t allow for them to enact their heavy handed, violent and racist government policies. It’s unfair to blame libertarianism for failing satiate potential slavers.

        1. leon

          I was actually thinking about posting an addendum regarding that. I don’t think Libertarianism is to blame for it. I just think that it’s clear that a lot of people who were libertarians have moved to the Alt-Right. Part of them it’s clear that they never understood the principle tenets of Libertarianism. Others i think became more focused on certain issues and so they lost focus on those principle tenets. So it’s not that Libertarianism creates Racists or that Racists are attracted to libertarianism. Its that it primes you to already be on the fringe.

          A similar pipeline could be shown for Democratic Socialists to straight up Tankie Commies. Doesn’t mean every DSA kid want’s to hang the capitalist pigs, it just means you’ve been primed for it.

          Also this is focusing on a minority of people. It would seem far more people leave Libertarianism to become Slate Writers.

          1. kbolino

            Indeed, one could just as well accuse libertarianism of being a pipeline to woke and/or top-man brain-rot, if the recent output of Niskanen (before they tore off the mask) or Cato (seriously, a paean to the intelligence community?) are to be judged.

        2. kbolino

          Indeed, libertarianism is just one of many possible rest stops on the road to “race realism”. While I don’t think anybody is born to take that road, when they start veering off the mainstream, they go through any number of transient destinations. Hell, even racism isn’t necessarily the final destination. There was more than one arch-segregationist who changed their mind after the civil rights movement won. Right now, people are taking positions to be the opposite of what they hate. For some, that means believing the flag protocol is a secret salute to Hitler, for others that means believing the white race is under existential threat. As one side tilts more extreme, so goes the other side, and vice versa.

            I once drove around with a couple of friends listening to Sabbath Vol.4. There was a kid in the back seat of my ’66 Chevelle and he played air drums through the whole cassette tape. This was in 1993. When the tape ended, he said (and I quote) “That rocked! Was that the new Nirvana?” Fucking millennials.

    Remember how everyone (well, not everyone) laughed at AOC with the no more airplanes thing in the Great Green Deal? Well, this Thundberg chick is showing that was not a joke. She’s coming to America in a sail boat to be carbon neutral. These people really do want us to revert to sailing ships.
    How about she show real commitment and cross the North Atlantic in January instead of August.

    1. Chipping Pioneer

      I’ll betcha if she gets in trouble there’ll be diesel powered rescue ships with helicopters out to save her.

      Thoughts:

      1. I think (as has been pointed out by others) Ire towards her is misdirected. She’s a teenager, who has been manipulated and used by the Press, her Parents and other people who should have protected her from being exploited.
      2. I Give her props for sailing, at least she is morally honest enough to not jet around on an Airplane like some other dipshits hucking this stuff.

      1. Rhywun

        I’ll be happy to mock the hell out of her when she turns 18. And that includes the sailing thing – it’s no less ridiculous than, say, the idea that Cuomo is going to “save the earth” by destroying NY’s economy. It may be “morally honest”, but only within an intellectually bankrupt framework.

    OMG I heard this on the morning cable/DNC news and almost fell out of my chair. Hotair obliges with the text quote I’ve been looking for:

    “The Obamas epitomize class, dedication to public service and respect for the Oval Office,”

    1. kbolino

      Can we stop calling at least the Presidency an act of public service? Everybody who gets the office wants it, really badly. Obama was dedicated to himself, not to some abstract ideal.

        There’s so much to unpack from those few words it’s hard to know where to begin.

    @Straff (and anyone else who listens to Your Welcome, i just know that Straff does)

    Have you caught the latest episode? I listend today and thought it was pretty thought provoking. Obviously i don’t know every point Ben Howe makes cause i haven’t read his book, but i did have some critiques. I get his criticism is of Trumpism, which i guess is the idea of winning by any means necessary. I can get on board with that, that ends don’t justify the means. But my objection is that he clearly seems to take the view that someones (stated) Intentions (at lest somewhat) absolve them of the outcomes of their actions. This is clear when he talks about how he think Mitt Romney or John McCain are more Moral than Trump, because, while he might not agree with them, he believes Mitt actually believes he is doing what is right, whereas he thinks Trump is only guided by what will benefit himself and not anything “good”.

    1. straffinrun

      Yeah, I listened to it. His version of Christianity comes through in his views on politics. Mike does get him to admit that actions are what truly matter, so the point you are raising kind of disappears. Maybe he was just being a nice guest and didn’t want to fight Mike on the point. The rest of the interview was pretty boring and uninsightful to me.

      1. leon

        Huh. I must have missed that part.

        1. straffinrun

          You probably listened closer than I did. If you have the part in mind, let me know.

          1. leon

            I listen at work so I’m sure I missed his clarification about actions.

    Also, The Weg Man grocer my Wifeling is so fond of does provide an acceptable chicken “alternative”, that when diced and cooked in a balsamic reduction does nestle a most comforting counterpoint to the lemon Alfredo.

    An addendum: always use room temperature milk (or alternative) when stirring into the roux…

            I remember doing lettering in grade school with parts of that speech. Being a kid it felt like it was an impossibly long time ago then. Now to realize how little time had passed and to see how far things have slid recently in an even short period is eye opening to how thin the veneer of civilization is.
