Any idea if this would work with soy milk or any other non-dairy equivalent, for us lactose intolerants?

I have no idea about soy milk - never tried it in my life. Trust Arx. It will work with water, though, but the taste isn't as good.

Soy milk works, but makes the resultant caramel taste very bland and unappetizing. You are better off using water.

What about butter?

Never tried that, but the result will probably be to oily to stomach, seeing how cream makes it filled with fat already.

Ooh!  Ooh!  I know the answer to this one--where there is lactose intolerance, you can usually substitute coconut milk!  Almond milk can also work, but it is not very thick.

I cook with almond milk all the time. i actually prefer it to all the other non-dairy options out there (soy, rice, coconut). Coconut milk ice cream is good though -- sort of has the consistency of thick marshmellow fluff.

You guys are now making me sad that I have a diabetic sister and can make neither fudge nor caramel.

Instead I made carbonara!

Spoiler: Chicken carbonara a la Arx (click to show/hide)

Ingredients: (This is to serve 6 or 7, change as needed)
2 fresh onions
~600g chicken breast fillets
A little oil
~600g pasta in your preferred style (doesn't make a difference, really)
~250ml chicken stock or broth (add more or less to vary consistency)
~50g butter or margarine (the original recipe called for a quarter of a cup, but that seemed too much and it tasted fine cut back)
2 large eggs
A splash of milk in case it needs to be thinned
Oregano and sage (That was a guess on my part, it worked well though)

Slice onion into small pieces and the chicken into ~2x2cm cuboids.
Sauté simultaneously in the oil in a pot, with herbs to taste.
Meanwhile, cook pasta. Remove from heat when nearly cooked to preference.
When the onions are translucent and the chicken cooked white (not browned), add the butter, the stock or broth, and the pasta.
Mix together well, allow to heat up thoroughly.
Beat the eggs together in a separate container, then lower the heat on the other ingredients by two-thirds and add the eggs, mixing very thoroughly.
Cook until the eggs are properly set.
If it becomes a terrible sticky ball, use milk for damage control to thin it some.

Serve with vegetables on the side.

YMMV, past performance does not guarantee future performance, etcetera. It met with approval from the test sample.

Dear lord, that was worth the 4 hours baking time.

Made a normal cheesecake recipe, foodcolored 4 separate bowls of the batter, poured in 1 at a time. It was actually surprisingly easy.

Oh my god that is glorious.

Made a pie using a ready-to-use poppy seed pie filling. Not entirely sure what I was doing, I also added some pecans and drizzled some chocolate syrup on top the moment I took it out of the oven.

Fed a slice to the girl I'm in love with. She said it was "okay", but I'm not sure if that was good or bad "okay". I myself thought it was a bit oversweet.

You have to make tea from them for that. I've heard it works surprisingly well, but it apparently varies from brand to brand. I might try it out sometime.

I am surprised forums like that aren't shut down.

[Helgoland]

You'd be surprised what other forums don't get shut down... Bluelight is a very valuable harm reduction-oriented forum, and it may have kept a few friends of mine from trying some rather stupid stuff; it promotes responsible (to a degree) and safe (as much as reasonably possible) drug use. Erowid - not a forum, but a site for similar stuff - is even better in this regard.
However, there are... other sorts of forums. Especially worrying (from a prohibitionist's perspective) are the various chemistry forums. The largest of them was The Hive, which got shut down in the early 2000's. Mirrors still exist, though, and it has left behind among internet drug cooks the habit of using bee metaphors. (Meth-)Amphetamine, for example, is sometimes referred to as honey. Other forums like that are still around, and even though they're small and largely inactive, you'd be surprised what information can be had there. These are people with a very clear goal, and they are very determined and surprisingly inventive. It's mostly due to the stupidity (or economic genre savvy) of actual large-scale drug producers that the drug situation isn't much worse.
