It Seemed Like a Bargain at the Time...

Twenty-five pounds of organic soy beans, that is. We bought them from Frankferd Farms out in Saxonburg, PA, a while ago, when we anticipated making a lot more soy-based hiking meals. Well, we used a fair amount of them, but twenty-five pounds of anything is a lot for a two-person family. One of the best ways to use soy beans is to make soy milk and tofu. We've searched high and low for recipes, many of which seem to call for complicated milk-making contraptions. We like this one the best for simplicity and quality. You need beans, water, a pot, a blender, and something to strain them through (porous fabric). Here is the finished soy milk, along with the still ample supply of dried beans.
