Eulogy from Queen Elizabeth
I asked for a message and this is what she wrote.
For restaurant, food services and home chefs:
1- No nail polish in the kitchen. It hides clean or dirty nails.
2- Now that it’s 2022, no fake nails in the kitchen.
3- If you’re wearing anything that can fall off with your movement in the kitchen, then it’s banned.
4- As a chef in 2022 I can attest to the fact that the above is required to keep patrons of food and beverage establishments throughout this fine but troubled world, SAFE.
5- Thank you for this opportunity to be of service to all the world’s creatures, large and small.

Mushroom Veggie Pizza Topping
When I was young, we lived in an Italian neighborhood. Back then there were no raw items on the pizza. The mushrooms were canned and the onions and peppers sauteed. Years later when pizza became more of a fast food, the veggies were applied to the pizza raw. They also used a lot more oil. I still like to go back to the old way now and then. This topper recipe can be used on pizza or in subs, wraps, tacos, animal-free omelets, tofu scramble or over mashed potatoes!
Topper: Sauteed Peppers, Onions, Mushrooms
We left the char out this time. Soft and flavorful is the goal. No added flavors except salt and pepper. Keep on hand to use in multiple dishes.

BEEFLESS TIPS AND COLLARDS FOR AFRICA
The universe won’t hand over it’s plant-eating animals to satisfy the African flesh and blood lust.
Oh my God these collards are animal-free? No way!
Special recipe designed for Africa with a conscience – Africa forever in my soul! I didn’t have to eat you! Thank God for that!
Serves 6 with leftover rice
Make collard greens:
1 bunch fresh collard greens, wash well, trim edges of any brown spots, then cut out main vein of each collard and discard; boil a pot of water, cook collards about 10 minutes or till tooth-tender, drain, rinse under cold water, lay each leaf out flat, stack and cut crosswise into 1 inch wide strips – set aside
Marinade for Gardein Beefless Tips:
9 oz. pkg. froz. GARDEIN BEEFLESS Tips
1/2 c. white vinegar
2 T. Balsamic vinegar
2 t. garlic powder
1/4 t. dried thyme squeezed between fingers to grind
1/3 c. old fashioned or full flavor dark molasses – I used BRER RABBIT brand
2 T. light sesame oil
1 T. Worcestershire sauce
1/2 t. salt plus to taste
fresh grind black pepper to taste – sev. twists is good
1- Place all marinade ingredients plus BEEFLESS TIPS in large saucepan. Let set for a couple hours with no heat.
Cook pink rice:
3-1/2 c. water
2 c. Pink Rice by LOTUS FOODS – it looks more red than pink
1 t. salt
Place water, rice and salt in large saucepan. Stir. Bring to boil, reduce heat to low. Cover and cook 20 minutes according to the package. Mine took 40 minutes. Maybe twice the rice means twice the cooking time.
Stir every 10 minutes.
Turn heat off.
ADD:
1/2 c. prepared yellow mustard
2 T. Balsamic vinegar
1/4 c. dark brown sugar
1 T. liquid smoke
2 t. garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
2 T. extra virgin olive oil
Stir stir stir stir under up and over till equally dispersed.
The color should be uniform throughout. Set aside.
- This is a meaty-textured rice; be sure to cook till each grain is tender throughout.
Next, cook fresh corn:
3 fresh ears of corn, boiled till tender, cooled at room temperature – stand each on end, cut from top to bottom between corn and cob to remove kernels – use large, sharp, broad knife – set aside
Other Ingredients:
14.5 oz. can Le Suerur Whole Green Beans, drained
15 oz. can BLACK TURTLE BEANS Michigan Made brand
1-2 t. garlic powder or to taste
2 T. extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
extra virgin olive oil for drizzle garnish
pickled orange rind sticks, garnish
fresh basil strips, garnish
Assembly:
1- In large pot combine beefless tips including the marinade and cooked collards. Stir to submerge the collards, then cook till hot and bubbly. Don’t overcook.
2- Add cooked corn, drained green beans and black turtle beans. Stir well.
3- Add garlic powder, olive oil, and salt and fresh grind black pepper to taste.
4- Cook till hot and bubbly. Adjust seasoning to your liking.
5- Reheat rice till very hot.
6- Spoon rice into individual serving bowls. Top with the beef, collards, corn and bean mixture including some broth/marinade.
7- If desired drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and sprinkle with fresh grind black pepper.
8- Top each serving with PICKLED ORANGE RIND.
9- Top with fresh cut basil strips.
10- Serve.
Notes: This is real soul food. It feeds the soul. Black Africans eat the animal to consume the soul to obtain special powers. Not many humans have the special soul powers I do. And I consume no animals.
It’s a lie people tell themselves. They need the animal inside them in order to function optimally or supernaturally.
They snuff out the animal then eat it? How bizarre and perverse is that? The universe doesn’t like humans who kill for souls. To stay in sync with survival of animal life, the universe demands they eat plants – not live animals or animal meat grown in labs.
Losing the taste for flesh and blood is key. The whole world needs to be untrained from eating animals then retrained to not eat animals. Animal-free meals forever.
Don’t think that the mighty lion will not go extinct. It will. Raising them in captivity to prolong their existence by feeding them other animals will fail as it should.
The same will happen to humans. Those carnivorous groups or demographics who hold out the longest in converting to plants will be the first to go.
The universe won’t hand over it’s plant-eating animals to satisfy the African flesh and blood lust.
Oh my God these collards are animal-free? No way!

Pecan Prune Carrot Cookies
PECAN PRUNE CARROT COOKIES
I made two forms of cookie: one rustic, drop by teaspoon on the baking sheet, and the other more refined, rolled in palm then placed on the sheet. They both taste the same. If you want a bakery-style look, then roll them, if a homemade look, drop them. I varied baking times by 1 minute and achieved a crisper outer skin on the rustic style cookie, but once in the jar with a lid, all cookies soften. It’s a great cookie no matter how you form it!

Cooling To Room Temperature vs Warming To room Temperature
I’ve never been at ease with cooling down or more specifically removing from heat and letting cool to room temperature. Whatever you’re cooking, it doesn’t matter. If it’s on the burner it’s hot – very hot.
The term cooling to room temperature just wasn’t accurate – the cooling part. It didn’t fit.
Cool means cool – to me – even if the intent was relative to its present hot state.
As I pondered this questioned feeling a bit stoned, though I wasn’t, an alternative solution came to mind.
Since an item is already hot, cooling to me would require refrigeration, not exposure to room temperature, which is warm.
Remove the pudding from the heat and warm it down.
WARM IT DOWN. Or, remove from heat till warm – not cool. You’re not cooling it, you’re waiting till it’s less hot which means warm.
Okay?
If you warm it up, you’re putting it on heat. If you’re cooling it down you’re putting it into the refrigerator.
Bring it to room temperature when you take it from refrigerator, means let it set on the counter.
Bring it to room temperature when you take it from the stove, means let it set on a rack on the counter.
But cool to room temperature? It doesn’t fit. I use it all the time and probably still will, or not, or maybe I’ll ease slowly into the accuracy of the words, rather than the commonly accepted terminology.
This was an exercise to make you think about what you’re doing or saying really means, in the culinary world. Is it accurate?

Vacuum packed tofu usually made for restaurants because they deep-fry better than non-vacuum packed tofu can be used in many ways.
One of those ways is it shreds nicely over large holes of a hand-held grater. Today we’re making shreds to top a salad, float in soups or roll up in a slice of bread spread lightly with margarine and ketchup (Steve used a soft dill rye and went back for another one).

RE: White Pizza Sauce
When white pizza sauce was first offered to the mainstream decades ago I automatically thought it meant white sauce as opposed to the traditional red sauce. Like the white sauce used in biscuits and gravy, that’s how my mind saw it.
Red or white sauce, they ask?
You have white sauce?
Yes we do.
Okay I’ll take that.
When the pizza comes out I say, where’s the white sauce? I also ordered spinach and Kalamata olives on it. No white sauce. The white sauce decades ago that remains unchanged today was oil and garlic.
Naively I thought that oil and garlic were two basic, traditional and required ingredients on every pizza. Not any more. Somebody way back when decided to call what used to come with the crust a sauce. They changed the rules so they could make more money for the oil and garlic. That’s sort of like charging you extra for breadsticks that have garlic oil drizzled on them.
As long as somebody is going to charge you for white sauce, they need to deliver a white sauce, not something to which they applied the name white knowing the brains of people would see white and cream, but be getting garlic and oil accompanied by an uptick in price.
This is it. Sharon’s Way!
Continue reading “Baba White Sauce For Pizza”PIZZA TOAST IS ON THE WAY
Do You Know Why PIZZA HOUSES Don’t Make Pizza On Bread?
Because it’s so good and so easy that you wouldn’t want to go out to a pizza house for it – you could make it yourself. How many times have you been disappointed with your yeast risen pizza??
I used to think the dough was everything, probably because the toppings were nothing to brag about. And let’s face it, most of the crusts I’ve had, and I’ve had a lot of them, were below par. When you bite into them the dough is half raw in the center, and the center is big.
But when it’s crispy, it’s always too crispy. For those missing a few teeth, ever try gumming a crispy pizza crust? It will rough you up.
The dough-makers make the making of dough a mystery – difficult to achieve a great one unless you have particular skills, particular flour and a high powered flame throwing oven to match.
So that’s what you pay for every time you order a yeast pizza – not the actual pizza, but the over-priced skills, flour, toppings and appliances.
Plus the fear factor. The pizza makers make people afraid to even try making their own. They might as well slap a huge neon sign on each delivery box that says: DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME.
After all, who would pay a restaurant to smear some inferior sauce onto a slice of bread with some old veggies and nothing to brag about cheese?
The time factor is the biggest obstacle when making yeast pizza at home. It takes too long. Even when using a ball of dough from the bakery, it never turns out right, given the amount of time that goes into it. The answer? Bakery bread has already risen and baked, with a multitude of breads to choose from.
English muffins these days are not what they used to be. On the outside, they look the part, but inside they don’t resemble the English muffin to which I’m accustomed. NO NOOKS AND CRANNIES. What’s the matter with people? I’m beginning to wonder if the English muffin-makers today have never eaten a real English muffin.
They’re destroying the brand of what an English muffin is. It doesn’t matter that the English muffin was invented in the USA by a person of English ancestry and didn’t come directly from England. Didn’t England invent the crumpet? Close enough – holes and all. Now it has a USA counterpart. Hey, good idea. THE CRUMPET PIZZA. I want the NOOKS AND CRANNIES or holes will do. Where are they?
Those nook and cranny muffins used to make a decent pizza crust. The only problem that followed was the rest of it. Nobody knew anything about building a pizza on a bun. Flat tomato paste watered down straight from the can – no seasonings, no oil?? Topped with a piece of orange cheese? Remember those from school lunches? Everybody tried to do it on the cheap, and nobody liked the toppings.
BREAD IS BACK. With all this pandemic bread circulating that isn’t bakery-style fresh any more, why not make toast of it?
PIZZA TOAST. Animal-Free. Sharon Lee.

Standardized Viscosity
Standardized Viscosity
Ever notice how there’s only one basic consistency of pudding or mousse or gelatin, even gravy?
I don’t know who sets the standard, but it happens and for whatever reason everybody who sells pudding, mousse, gelatin, even gravy either copies one another or they settle into one viscosity level.
A cook assigned to make the soup for the next day where we frequent had Steve taste test a mushroom soup. It was outstanding. Not as thick as mushroom soup is these days for whatever reason, but excellent. More like soups back in the day – not too thick not too thin.
The cook who came in after he left, thickened it up more to her liking – to match the viscosity of HER SOUPS. The reason we know is that Steve ordered it the next day and it wasn’t the soup he taste tested.
Well, it didn’t take long for everybody to know that one cook tampered with another cook’s recipe. And everybody knew that the guy who came back the next day to order it wasn’t happy.
There’s no room for variation, which is disturbing since people really do like to try new things, new ways. At least that’s how we were as kids. The new bike on the block everybody ran to see it, wanted to drive it.
What happens along the way into adulthood and beyond? I guess some still like the new, others more often than not stay glued.
Why so much with food though? Fashions are fickle, coming and going with every new season. Colors, same thing. Fabrics, same thing. Cars, appliances, computers you name it, NEW is always IN.
But not so much with food. Sure, a new beer, a new snack, a new dessert or soup. But it doesn’t veer much from the old.
Resisting standardization in pursuit of experiences beyond the average or familiar or accepted standard, I experiment with different flavors, textures AND viscosities.
Sometimes the gravy’s thinner than usual, the sauce, thicker than usual. The same with pudding, mousse, gelatin.
Have you ever drank pudding? Pudding made thinner? It’s a different kind of experience, one that I happen to like. Not always, but sometimes.
How about extra-thick pudding that you could stand a spoon in it? Ever tried that?
Experiment. Bring that kid in you back to the kitchen.
I guarantee you’ll like it. Feel free.

Missions regarding: All of Sharon’s writing, cooking and art sites – free style, editorial, prose, activism
AFC GLOBAL MISSIONS ABSOLUTE
I am on a mission to keep animals out of my food, medicine, clothing, non-food products, science, engineering, art, architecture, entertainment…
I do not have to debate the mission.
I already know where I stand.
Using thought, word and deed I transmit my mission to all beings.
Maybe the world doesn’t want an ANIMAL-FREE CUISINE.
Maybe the world doesn’t want a better life through the application of THE FIVE PRINCIPLES.
When the animals are no longer considered slaughter-worthy and/or the world moves on to new exploits, the world will turn exclusively to plants.
When it does, I will have already spent decades developing a world class MAINSTREAM ANIMAL-FREE CUISINE that has already been shared around the world!
And when that happens, the world will want to MATCH it WITH a plan for a better more peaceful and cooperative future for all. And I will already have spent decades preparing for that tide through my own application of THE FIVE PRINCIPLES TO A BETTER LIFE in my own life, which has also been shared around the world – year after year after year. As a result, I know how it works and understand the pitfalls.
Although my focus has been on animal rights, throughout my career I knew the shortest way to my goals was to keep the human animal relevant at all stages of engagement, so I intertwined all animals including the human animal into one lifelong project.
That was quite a job and the highest mountain any human ever climbed alone and succeeded!
So why do it for free?
To keep my work corruption-free. When someone pays a salary, they dictate the terms, meaning what and how and when I write, and the type of recipes I develop, and the suggestions I give in all areas of surviving and thriving for all life.
In addition, I chose not to put my name on other people’s words who work behind the scenes as contributors.
I take credit and responsibility for all of my art – from writing to cooking to painting to activism. That’s who I am and how I prefer to fly.
Although through the lengthy and arduous developmental stages of development I worked alone, I don’t anticipate that being the case for much longer.
THE AFC BLUEPRINT is absolutely inclusive. The worst, best and all the rest of humanity are welcome to the table.

UPDATE ON DAIYA CREAMY DRESSINGS
Recently when developing a DECONSTRUCTED BOLOGNAISE BLEU I purchased as one of the ingredients daiya BLUE CHEEZE DRESSING to add to the sauce.
When I see on the bottle that it containe 8 ounces, my brain naturally assumes that means one cup.
Unfortunately it does not. So in future when a recipe calls for 8 ounces of any daiya creamy dressing assume that you need to purchase two bottles.
Actually the bottle says 8.36 ounces.
Not knowing how much I was going to use, I first measured out 1/2 cup and added it to the sauce.
When I looked at the remaining in the bottle I was surprised at how little was there – certainly not another 1/2 cup.
I know how industry standards work; there’s a low and high amount that’s acceptable, and maybe the lower amount that I experienced would fall into that range. Given that the bottle is only so big, the high number acceptable by industry standards doesn’t apply.
I settled on 1/2 cup for the recipe and was satisfied, but for some who may want to double the recipe or use 1 cup instead of 1/2 cup in one recipe, they would need 1 full cup, which means they would have to purchase two bottles. The bottle says 8.36 ounces, so one might think I would get a full cup out of it. That wasn’t the case.
The next morning I measured the remaining out and even scraped the interior of the bottle with a table knife. Even if I were to include what would never come out of the bottle unless I diluted it with water, the measure came up significantly short, by 5 tablespoons. So if the bottle contains as they say 8 ounces, that’s 16 Tablespoons. If I was short 5 tablespoons that means the bottle contained 11 Tablespoons, which is less than 3/4 of a cup. The extra .36 ounce wasn’t there.
The bottles look like coke bottles, they’re that thick, which means they are designed to deceive the buyer into thinking they contain more than they do.
These are my favorite creamy animal-free dressings. I just want to alert the buyers to buy two bottles if you’re going to use them in a recipe that calls for more than a couple Tablespoons to top a salad, and even then, if feeding a family, the last one to reach for the dressing at the table to top their salad may come up empty.
Total contents equalled 1/2 cup used in the recipe and less than 1/4 cup leftover from bottle.
