Thank you. ^_^ My chief worry right now is that she's decided to go vegetarian chiefly for economic reasons, which I totally understand and support, but I don't know how food is going to taste good if I can't cook with bacon fat.

I feel a combination of liquid smoke and olive oil might solve your problem.

Do you have a balcony getting some sun? Or even a windowsill that catches some sun? There are vegetables that grow very well in pots, sacks, or even glass jam jars. It might require more attention it the form of water, (anything in pots dry out more easier then in the full ground) and you might not be able to grow vegetables all year round, but boy those potatoes, strawberries, spinach, peppers, radishes, tomatoes ect.... will taste so good when they are finished.
Sprouts plants are the easiest. Just find an empty glass jar, throw in some seeds, add some water and wait a week. Voila! Salad delish!

Just to let you know that if you really want to grow your own veggies, full ground isn't necessary. ninja

I do, the unfortunate part is that there are parts of our terms of lease that restrict what we keep on the balcony.

By chance are you familiar with Two Buckets?

Well.. what exactly does your lease say against plants on your balcony? Maybe we could find an exception, or a way around it.

Unfortunately it is a safety issue. There is not enough clearance for potted plants and the minimal width required by the law for a safe walkway.

In my area, liquid smoke is neither easy to find nor that cost effective, so another possible alternative, if it happens to be easier to find as it is here, is smoked salt as a seasoning.

Another good alternative.
You can also make your own liquid smoke.

I'm not sure how much it helps, but I make a pizza sauce that tastes like pepperoni, without the animal products.

I can beat that. I have bacon salt. That's kosher. and vegan.

It actually isn't at bad as it sounds!

I myself have run into the issue of how to get better food at lower prices.

I mean s**t, at some points it's actually cheaper to get stuff premade than fresh. WTF?

If somehow the price slope was reversed, where fresh stuff was readily available down the street at lower prices while processed foods were more luxury items, we wouldn't be having this discussion would we?

I second this. Liquid smoke is awesome. (Does it really taste like bacon? I have no clue what bacon tastes like.)

I considered getting some of that, but I'm not sure how it tastes, and I'd hate to get a whole bottle and not use it.

Bacon tastes like protein that is very salty and fatty.

*lol* thank you. I was actually joking. I used to get so very frustrated at the apparent lack of change in society, but that was before I learned how to change myself and get a better perspective on how culture works. Besides, building barricades in the street takes away from my leisure time.

Hmm. While I love the smoky flavor, my primary reason to use bacon fat is that it works better in my experience for frying. I only have extra virgin olive oil available at the moment, and it has too low of a smoke point and tends to evaporate too quickly. Since my partner isn't adopting a fully vegan lifestyle I think I'll probably learn to make ghee and use that instead.
And smoked salt, which sounds wonderful.

I think I'll take any further discussion of food substitution into the So You Wanna thread, just to avoid too much derailment.

I do believe in them, mainly because I have had an encounter, I was attacked, and at first I thought it was an anxiety attack or something similar, but it didn't match those symptoms. I did some research, and found that book. (there's a link in one of my previous posts)
