And I dont even know how I would just throw one together like you did hehe! Also I tried to upload a gravatar thing and I couldnt get it to work, maybe im just not computer savy? :) Michal Sloppy janes – how cute!

I added extra water (based on a recommendation) to make it more pourable, as if you follow the recipe, you get the innards of the "ultimate grilled cheeze" which is not what we were looking for. Plus, leftover cheese for dipping chips in...maybe bean dip? :) That uncheese sauce is amazing!

I still shudder when I think about some of the atrocities committed for the sake of entertainment or feeding the masses. Just seeing an exhausted dairy cow being dragged away to slaughter was enough to make me quit milk and cheese for good. It's just too infuriating an industry to be allowed to continue as is. --Krista Adam–
