Re: UB Cookin'
Who knew how to really test beans' soaking methods
Re: https://cooking.stackexchange.com/quest ... re-cooking
"Every recipe says I should soak beans in water overnight before cooking. Why?"
"I did some experiments. I have tried soaked and unsoaked beans from the same batch.
There was no difference in cooking time, taste, structure or color. Even (pharts) were the same!"

More about Manischewitz Grape Wine
Re: https://vinepair.com/articles/ntk-manischewitz-wine/
"Huy Trieu, a manager at Shun Fat Supermarket in San Gabriel Valley near Los Angeles, told The Wall Street Journal
that the store sells hundreds of bottles of Manischewitz a year to primarily Chinese and Vietnamese customers.
Tony Chen, a customs broker, also told the WSJ that he noticed many Los Angeles Asian grocery stores stocked bottles
of the wine, and likened the taste to that of a fermented drink from Northern China made of mashed grapes and sugar."
Note: The sweetness of this wine makes it versatile
for inclusion with certain fruits and culinary concoctions
... like Cold Fruit Soup.

Re: UB Cookin'
Hello and thank you Rod for the latest series of recipes. I must try out some of the Tofu recipes. I'm not sure if my mom cares for tofu, but maybe it is time to give her a chance to try something new.

"Why the trendy 30 plants a week diet might NOT be as good as you've been led to think"
"participants who ate at least 30 different plants every week were more likely to have 'good' gut bacteria -
kinds that are thought to ward of infections and combat illnesses. Additionally, their microbiome - the term
for the trillions of bugs living inside of us - was more diverse, and therefore healthier, compared to people
who ate just 10. A diverse microbiome has been linked to boosting the body's ability to breakdown food,
strengthening the immune system, bettering brain function and even lowering the risk of cancer"
"30 plants a week" was concluded from the study, but "diverse microbiome"
(and what diet promotes this) is the important conclusion. Also, unhealthy
food/drinks not consumed help promote a good microbiome.
