You play an actor on TV?
Is this one of those reality things?

Just a joke I append anytime I have to say, “I’m not a…”.

This recipe from Good Eats has butter, but you could use the substitutes suggested in this thread, and it makes for some damn fine carrots:

It works fine. There was a stretch after our son was born that my wife was convinced that eating dairy products was causing our son colic through the breast milk, so we cut out all dairy in stuff that we ate jointly.

Glazed carrots with that Earth’s Balance vegan stuff were just fine. Not necessarily as awesome as if we’d used some sort of spiffy French Normandy butter, but still pretty great.

This is good to know. I do cook vegan dishes from time to time, and even stuff like I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter contains dairy. I usually end up using vegetable oil to substitute, but it sounds like Earth Balance would be closer to the mark.
