Doge I also have a Global and a pair of whetstones. I do most of the cooking around here, also because I enjoy chopping things.
Re: Beyond Meat, I like their burgers and sausages when I'm craving foods I used to enjoy regularly. Vegan for almost 4 years now. Started out for the environment and health but came around on the moral aspects of it pretty quickly too. My thing lately is pizzas. There's a place here called Donna Jean, all plant based but they use such good ingredients and have amazing dough such that I don't really miss the cheese. I was also baking my own and throwing a bunch of random stuff on, veggie sausage, brocolli, nutritional yeast, Carolina gold BBQ sauce. But our kitchen remodel is now on month 3 so it has been a while....
