I make cat hats for my cats Cinsu and mini me and you can see them on youtube. I saw your cat’s picture with the Pharaoh’s hat and was glad to see it because I’m trying to make a pharaoh’s hat for my cats. Please check out my blog and my youtube page. Awajiangirl is the name on youtube or you can look up Cinsu.

I’m really curious about the yeast. What kind of yeast exactly did you use?

I’m curious because I grew up eating yeast and loving it, mostly because whenever I was sick my mom would make me “yeast toast” which was toast with mayonnaise (you could sub veganaise) and then yeast sprinkled on top. It always made my stomach feel better. I still love yeast toast (especially w/ a dash of garlic salt). We would also use as a pop corn sprinkling along with the salt and pepper and I have used at as a flavoring in breading for frying.

We use the Red Star nutritional yeast that you buy in bulk from the health food store.

Did you use the yeast as the base for the sauce? Maybe it’s a little yeast over kill. Try using it in moderation, and it can be yummy. I’ve also tasted it used in salsa and it was pretty good too.

Oh, and Data’s hat made me laugh so hard a snorted! LOOOOOVE it.

Hey Kim! I think nutritional yeast is definitely an acquired taste. I couldn’t get near it until I had been off of dairy for quite some time. And even still, I can only use it to sprinkle over spaghetti dishes or with olive oil and sea salt on my popcorn so I can benefit from the vitamins but I am not anywhere in love with the taste. I am okay with the taste of Tofutti’s fake cream cheese and sour cream. I just don’t use much of it because I am trying not to do too much soy, but I think those things work well in sauces or dips and spreads without having to adjust your tastebuds too much. My hubby and I have decided for certain things that we are better off doing without than grossing ourselves out. LOL. I am glad I’m not the only one who had a rough time with the nootch.

Love Data’s hat, it is so cute, he looks very noble in it.

I rememver my old house mate used to use the nutritional yeast and her telling me it is an acquired taste.

Good luck!

I’m so sorry it didn’t work out. I was excited to hear good news about it. Maybe there is another recipe that is better?

Tee hee! Aw, Data. Man, I never did post the angry pictures of Bastet in her pumpkin hat. I guess it’s not too late even though Halloween has passed, right? I mean, cats in costumes are always funny. Or maybe I’ll get her a little elf getup for Christmas. (which I will photograph and then probably never post either…riiiiiigggght)
I know yeast is supposed to be good for you in a lot of ways (even applied directly to your skin!) but yeah, that sauce looks kinda nasty. I hope you figure out a way to make it tasty!

Nutritional yeast sounds kind of gross. My guess is you didn’t ruin it, it was pre-ruined.

I love Data in his hat. I am convinced our cats would shred our faces if I tried to pull stunts like that. But I might just have to see if our Target has that hat.

I’ve heard good things about nutritional yeast, but it kind of freaks me out. We can try it (again) together and make disappointed faces!

Data’s hat is pretty awesome.
