Veganomicon, why do you fail me so?

My housemates are well aware of my penchant for procrastinating when we have mountains of work to do. Generally it comes in the form of an urgent necessity to bake. During the last project of last year, my Vegan Travel Survival kit, I was desperate to make some lemon squares. I used the recipe from Veganomicon (my least fave cookbook), and played with agar-agar flakes for the first time. They are pretty irritating and peculiar. The lemon bars tasted great, but didn't sit well.
