Kite Hill’s whipped Ricotta cheese has the subtle flavor & all the feels of Ricotta cheese only better, as it’s produced without any of the baggage that comes along with supporting factory farms & animal ‘products.’

Sometimes, even the most comforting of meals cannot sate a core human desire to feel safe & nurtured.
Still, a girls gotta eat. And so, I pour the box of elbow noodles into the boiling water & wonder if Grama Mabel’s dish more

tamiapple Thanks so much, your words mean a lot. I seem to be vacillating between the various stages of grief, tho I’m mostly angry (& part of me will be for sometime), though as we know, we can repurpose our heartbreak into something better.

sanleeping Totally relate to this . My jaw and my heart dropped at the brexit result .
I do take great solace from this vegan movement and my friends here who understand .everyday we say no to cruelty and that is human progress . I like to think we are on an upward spiral however things appear to the contrary 💙🌀💚

We sent our mail-in ballots and had hope for a different outcome. I can't imagine what it feels like now, as the reality is very disturbing - so much so that I haven't slept well since the election. And hopefully there will be the chance to "correct" the course of history again in the near future.

tamiapple Thanks so much - I made two gigantic batches about a week apart and ate it for days (and days) 😂. I think comfort has come from conversations like this, with friends who get it. Thank you my friend, it means a lot. 💔
