I've found that keeping them cold is key--they get melty after just a few minutes of being out of the fridge. I hope you have better results next time because these are worth it!<BR/><BR/>Tania, NOO!! That's too bad.. Cars with gas gauges that don't work can be useful, you just have to learn how many miles to the gallon you get and then keep track of it in your head. Aww! :(<BR/><BR/>Brooke, I know--it's the craziest thing! Just from LOOKING! It happens to me too...<BR/><BR/>Bazu, thanks... I'm just going to have to keep at it, darn it!<BR/><BR/>Crystal, yes, I'm not eating sweets right now either--I just had one bite of each of these and now I'm laying off, but with a scrawny hubby I don't feel like I should deprive him of sweets just because my jeans get a little tight! I hope you like the chickpea salad. I actually suggest Nayonaise in the recipe, which is waaay less fattening than Vegenaise. Have you tried it?<BR/><BR/>Healthnut, agar (or agar-agar) is a seaweed that commonly comes in either flake or powder form. The flakes are whitish-clearish looking. It's a vegan gelatin substitute, but I don't think it behaves exactly as gelatin does. You just boil it in liquid until it dissolves and turns clear, and then when it chills it sets up really firm. I've actually only used it a couple of times, though. You can get agar at health food stores, or I suggest trying an Asian market first as it's generally much cheaper there (it's not cheap stuff, really). Hope this helps!laura khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17124236356802448254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31847616.post-55096144717430854402007-07-02T11:43:00.000-04:002007-07-02T11:43:00.000-04:00Everything looks so delicious!

I loved the idea of your hummus with veggie chips below so much that it has been my lunch for the past few days. YUM! I think I"m going to make the curried chickpea salad today for lunch - although I might try to cut back on the veganaise a bit.

Boo-ya!<BR/><BR/>Diann, I'm determined that nothing is impossible to veganize (except maybe meringue, but ICK)--I just haven't quite figured out how to do it yet! I'm going to keep playing, and I've got some other French classics in the back of my mind as well (crème brulée, pain au chocolat, you name it).
