one of my favorites

Masareal

1 kilo peanuts
1 cup sugar
1 cup water

Boil unshelled peanuts in water. When done, cool. Shell and grind the peanuts fine.

Prepare a syrup of 1 cup white sugar and 1 cup water. Before the syrup thickens, add the ground peanuts, and keep on stirring until thick. Remove from fire, and pour over a thin baking sheet. Flatten the surface. Cut into 1 inch by 5 inches rectangular strips. Wrap each piece in white paper, if desired.

frappuccinos without having to spend your retirement at the store!

ingredients:
2/3 cup fresh espresso
2 2/3 cups 2% or skim milk
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
Ice

1) combine all the ingredients except ice in a pitcher or saucepan. Sitr until sugar is completely dissolved.
2) blend ice in a mixer until it's smooth.
3) pour liquid onto ice, and serve cold.

if you want it starbucks-style:

1/2 cup fresh espresso
2 1/2 cups lowfat milk (2 percent)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon dry pectin

combine all of the ingredients in a pitcher or covered container. stir or shake until
sugar is dissolved. chill and serve cold. makes 24 ounces.

to make the "Mocha" variety:
add a pinch (1/16 teaspoon) of cocoa powder to the mixture before combining.

to fake espresso with a drip coffee maker and standard grind of coffee:
use 1/3 cup ground coffee and 1 cup of water.
brew once then run coffee through machine again, same grounds.
makes about 1/2 cup fresh espresso to use in the above recipe.
run a pot of water through machine, without grounds, to clean.



this is also good for flavoring milkshakes. just add the liquid to vanilla (or whatever!) icecream in a mixer and blend! if you don't have an espresso machine, you can use regular coffee with a standard coffee-maker. basically, any coffee should work, i just think espresso is the best because it gives the taste. enjoy!

Ha! ha! ha!

I finally found a taho(?!?) recipe! Galadriel! Kita na jud ko og steps in making your sought-for taho!

Here is it:


Making Tofu
(Taho is Soft Tofu)


Ingredients
500 g soybeans (daizu)
20 g bittern (nigari)
You will need cheesecloth, perforated molds, cooking thermometer.

Soak the soybeans in cold water overnight (20 hours). Be sure to use enough water so the beans can double in size.

The next day, pour out the water and pulverize the beans, using enough fresh water to cover the beans (use a food processor and repeat small batches). Pour the bean mixture into a very large pot and add enough water to double the quantity of liquid. Bring the liquid to a boil and lower the temperature, skimming off any foam that collects on the top. Boil for 20-30 minutes, stirring (and skimming) constantly to avoid burning on the bottom. While boiling, dissolve the bittern in a small quantity of water. (Bittern or nigari is a substance left after salt is extracted from seawater.) Place a piece of cheesecloth in a colander, and pour the liquid through it into a large bowl. The liquid that passes is called "soymilk" and will become tofu. The solid material that remains in the cheesecloth is called "okara" and is used in various Japanese dishes. Place cheesecloth in the molds, squaring the corners. Bring the temperature of the soymilk to 158°F, add the bittern and stir gently. When the milk starts to curdle, pour the mixture into the molds and cover with cheesecloth. Next place some weight on top (can use newspaper in plastic wrap) to press out the liquid. After about 30 minutes, remove the tofu from the molds and keep it in large bowl filled with cold water. Store the tofu submerged in water.

Actually, I just copied this procedure from this link>>>> http://hfs.washington.edu/dining/chefs/tofu/
Naa pa sila'y daghan nga info on Tofu in this website - from history, to types, to nutritional facts- naa tanan on tofu. Just click the above link.

If you will make your own Taho(soft tofu) from this procedure, you may want to post here your revised steps aron makahibaw pud mi.

Enjoy your tofu.
