on 12/11/2007 I'm so glad you tried it and liked it. As a vegan, I have to get creative and I find that I'm trying different combinations of things that I never would otherwise.

on 12/10/2007 This was really good...I'm not even a vegan but I LOVE vegetables and this was a lot different from the store-bought spreads with all those nasty preservatives. Also it was a lot cheaper, so thanks...
