Schick Intuition razor -- love it! Get one! I meant to buy one after my best friend told me how much she loved hers, but I was slow to get around to it. Thank goodness she went right ahead and surprised me with one.

Years ago, I bought a bar of Chandrika Soap at The Crystal Fox in Laurel, Maryland. For at least a year, it stayed in a dresser drawer infusing my socks with its aroma. Then I tried using it for its original purpose and I fell in love.

I've seen Chandrika Soap for more than $3 a bar online. But I buy it for less than a dollar at Whole Foods. It's probably even cheaper at an Indian Grocery.

Ok, I admit I've had some really nasty experiences with soy cheese before, so I really didn't want to try another one. My mom bought a package of Lisanatti Lite Soy-Sation Mozzarrella Style cheese alternative when she was here in April, and its expiration date isn't until February 10, 2004, so I had a little time to think about it.

This first thing I learned from my bad experiences and from the folks on the sfbaveg yahoo group is that you shouldn't try to eat soy cheese by itself. So I was quite shocked when I tried this one plain and actually liked it. If I was vegan or lactose intolerant, I could maybe even imagine it as part of a Tomato Mozzarella Basil salad. It's also good on nachos, without any other cheeses or ingredients; it melts well and tastes good, although it's on the dry/crispy side. My next experiment was to try a 50-50 blend of Soy-Sation mozzarrella and regular sharp cheddar on nachos -- very good, though also somewhat dry/crispy.


Mom got this package at Whole Foods. But it's also available on-line from MorningSide Buying Club
