What about those minature pecan pies you made last year? Those were AWESOME!

huh, i totally forgot about those. i still don't remember what they tasted like. *sad face*

and i don't remember having pecan pie pre-vegan, so my statement still kinda stands.

hmm. i wonder which recipe i used. and this is why i should stick to the blogging thing. aah well.

oh. absolutely! (i guess i was more in the mood for agave this year.) :-)

only about 1/4 of all conventional white sugar is unvegan. (1/2 is actually beet sugar, and therefore needs no bone char processing, and half of the leftover 1/2 is bleached a different way) domino sugar is a big no-no, pioneer/holly/sprinkels is no-longer vegan, and i think i remember something about jack frost. i think they might be from the same company as holly.

but if you have a wholefoods near you, they have vegan sugar for a not-so bad price. (4 lbs for 5 bucks i think. which, compared to the grocery store brands, really sucks. but at least most of the vegan sugars are organic, therefore more sustainable. so that's why i don't mind the higher price. :-)

there's also date sugar and i think xylitol. erythritol however is produced using pollen from honeycombs. so that sucks. it had such great potential.
