Hil (or anyone), do you have a good recipe for vegan lasagna? Is it easier just to leave the cheese out completely than to try and substitute something?

[eta: I found this recipe online and it looks pretty amazing - [link]

My brother's girlfriend is vegan and we want to make sure she has something to eat up in Canada. Most nights they'll probably just cook for themselves, but we do a fair number of big family dinners up there and island cuisine revolves heavily around butter and ground beef. (My dad announced a plan to make one veggie and one sausage lasagna one night and nobody's yet pointed out to him that ricotta cheese isn't vegan....)

Our wings are not tired.

Hasn't Pix posted a recipe she makes for vegan lasagne? Or am I misrembering? I seem to recall it was super well-received by her guests. Hmmmm. Or mebbe it was a casserole. I think buttersquash was involved.

I confused.

Butternut squash enchiladas, maybe?

I compost (required in Seattle...though mostly it is "produce that went bad while I was traveling") but still appreciate having a disposal so when doing dirty dishes, the bits and pieces don't have to be fished out of the sink for fear of backing it up!

Ding ding ding ding! Which has nothing at all to do with lasagne. Sorry.

But now I want butrernut squash enchiladas.

Those are good, but the recipe I remember has cream cheese in them.

Of course, I got an email from my dad just now that the lasagna plan has now been scrapped in favor of DIY tacos.

When we make them we use a vegan cream cheese that is quite good.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

What about Lamentably Neglected Produce In The Fridge? That's a large source of our composting. That, and coffee grounds and eggshells.

I solve this problem by not buying produce, rarely making coffee, and, um, can you compost eggshells?

Mine, not Pix. (Although I wouldn't mind being Pix.) Also not really mine; from Vegetarian Times.

Or possibly Pix did, too, and I was just a jackass.

You sure can!
