1. Favorite non-dairy milk?
I'm a big fan of hemp milk, but it's so expensive that I usually end up with vanilla Silk soy. If I weren't so lazy, I'd make my own more often.

Pumpkin curry soup, sweet chili tofu w/ roasted broccoli and the Veganomicon chickpea patties.
3. Topping of choice for popcorn?
Chipotle Tobasco and sugar.
4. Most disastrous recipe/meal failure?
There have only been a few things that were so awful we literally could not eat them. I've blackened the bottoms of things a few times.
5. Favorite pickled item?
I heart pickles so much. Picking a favorite is really difficult. I like spicy garlic dills, and chow chow, and those little tiny bumpy pickles.... mmm.
6. How do you organize your recipes?
It's a hodge-podge of e-mails, text files, Google Reader favorites, our own custom database, and cookbooks.
7. Compost, trash, or garbage disposal?
All three, but the garbage disposal much less than the other two.

Avocado, peanut sauce and tamarind.
