Red Shed Community Garden


We did our open hours at the community garden this morning and came home with a nice salad (not pictured), a bouquet and some fresh mint. It was a really pleasant morning, we weeded and mowed the lawn. We really should have taken some photos of the garden itself, maybe next time.

ECCO CAFFE

Our friend Duncan and his girlfriend Danielle came to visit a few weeks ago and left us this:

We made a pot in out french press and it was really great. Ecco was an independent cafe in Santa Rosa CA that roasts its own coffee, but its coffee is occasionally distributed by Intelligencia (which is served by the excellent cafe where Danielle worked). If you see some of this I cannot recommend it enough.

Soy Milk 1

We decided to try to make soy milk and then tofu today. The first step is finding the ingredients. You'll need ~1lb of soy beans and nigari (or gypsum salt). Here in NYC you can get both at Sunrise Mart in the east village.

The beans need to soak in cold water until they are softish (~8 to 24 hours).
