Tofu... just what the heck is it?.......2001-03-28

Well, I have decided to return to vegetarianism... if that's the proper term. I gave up meat once before in college and enjoyed the many benefits of doing so. However, with a busy schedule and little time for eleborate meal planning, I always had difficulty finding the right things to eat. I have decided this time to better educate myself on what my choices are. I read this book because I had looked over a few vegetarian cookbooks and they are filled with recipes containing tofu. I kept asking myself... Just what the heck is it??

Well, EVERYTHING you ever wanted to know about tofu is to be found in this volume, including the reasons why tofu is a better choice not only for your health, but for the sake of world resources as the population of our planet increases.

I am not an environmentalist, not even close. If people want to eat animals, I don't mind. So, I do not generally agree with those who say that eating meat is "wrong"... But, I do have a genuine respect for any argument that champions efficiency over waste. After reading this book, I was surprised at how much grain it takes (in pounds) to produce just one ounce of red meat... which tastes mighty fine, but is not exactly the perfect source of protein and really shouldn't be eaten on a daily basis. (Texans forgive me.)

So, all in all I recommened this book if you are thinking changing your lifestyle, or perhaps pondering the possibility of cutting back on your intake of saturated fat etc...

Ben Franklin was a vegetarian... If he could do it 200 years ago, then we cetainly have no excuse.

Everything you'd ever want to know about cooking tofu.......2001-03-11

Want to know more than just how to stir-fry tofu? This book has just about everything you'd want to know about that bland little block, including the history and manufacture of tofu. It even tells you how to make it yourself. Well, I tried it and got perfectly fine tofu (and a heck of a lot of okara, the bean residue left from straining the soymilk.) I nearly destroyed the kitchen, but it was fun and I learned to appreciate going to the store and buying a refrigerated pack.

If you don't care to try tofu in its Japanese guise (they even eat it cold with a dash of soy sauce) then you can try scrambled tofu. This is a real God-send for people who mustn't eat eggs and who miss a good mushroom omelet.

And did you know there were so many kinds of tofu, from kinugoshi, which is custard-like and can be used to make a good pumpkin pie, to extra-firm, which can be barbecued with sauce (just the thing if you have a summer grill party and can't serve meat. Grill some eggplant, zucchini, corn and tofu instead.)

Not every recipe in this book is useful for everyone (yuba, or the dried skin of soymilk) sounds yummy but is not found outside of good Chinese groceries in urban centers. However, this book will give you new ideas to use tofu.

Soy: The perfect food :-).......2000-01-08

Last year I purchased The Book of Tofu, by William Shurtleff and Akiko Aoyagi. Half recipe source-book, half cultural anthropological look at the history of tofu-making in Asia (Did you know that tofu has been eaten in China for thousands of years? Tell that to Newsweek, who listed tofu as a fad that would die out in the new millenium!), it soon convinced me of the importance of soy in the human diet. This book is fabulously researched, has excellent recipes and TONS of interesting information. We learned about more uncommon types of tofu, like Yuba (bean curd skin). (We soon hunted some down at our local asian market, YUM!) We haven't yet attempted to make our own soy milk or tofu, but this book covers these topics in easy to follow, detailed directions. Read this book! Eat Tofu! Be Happy (and healthy)!

Tofu is good for you.......1999-02-19

This book is very comprehensive in detailing how to make soymilk and manufacture tofu at home. It is quite easy -- maybe a little time consuming for the modern American. But, the benefits of soy far outweigh the two hours (or less) that it takes to make soymilk. My wife has been cleansed of her hayfever and allergies since we have completely switched to drinking only soymilk. Our children are thriving. Simply put: soy products are good for the heart, mind, and soul.

From the supplier: A glandless variety of cottonseed produces a non-toxic, edible cottonseed protein that is suitable for use in commercial food products. The development of the edible cottonseed took 30 years of research by Woodrow Rogers and Texas A&M University researchers, followed by 10 years of research and development to prove its nutritional value. Cottonseed contains 64 grams of protein per 100 grams, and is higher in protein efficiency than beef. Edible cottonseed, available in limited quantities, will provide food producers with a low-cost protein-rich food source.

Book Description

Modern science and technology, from materials science to integrated circuit development, is directed toward the nanoscale. From thin films to field effect transistors, the emphasis is on reducing dimensions from the micro to the nanoscale. Fundamentals of Nanoscale Film Analysis concentrates on analysis of the structure and composition of the surface and the outer few tens to hundred nanometers in depth. It describes characterization techniques to quantify the structure, composition and depth distribution of materials with the use of energetic particles and photons.

The book describes the fundamentals of materials characterization from the standpoint of the incident photons or particles which interrogate nanoscale structures. These induced reactions lead to the emission of a variety of detected of particles and photons. It is the energy and intensity of the detected beams that is the basis of the characterization of the materials. The array of experimental techniques used in nanoscale materials analysis covers a wide range of incident particle and detected beam interactions.

Included are such important interactions as atomic collisions, Rutherford backscattering, ion channeling, diffraction, photon absorption, radiative and nonradiative transitions, and nuclear reactions. A variety of analytical and scanning probe microscopy techniques are presented in detail.

Book Description

Aunt Dolly and Sister Stella, who have plenty of clout with the Lord, announce that they have asked Him to move Phillips Mountain.

Phillips Mountain had been an impediment to neighborly visitations since the day of creation. When Aunt Dolly and Sister Stella announce they aim to ask the Lord to move it, the whole state is thrown into an uproar. Folks start demanding injunctions, lawsuits are threatened, and the beneficent old saints are ridiculed every day from the most powerful radio station in the state. But in the face of all the ridicule and cruel jokes, the old saints hold on to their faith. The Lord sees that His reputation was on the line as well as theirs and something has to be done. There are heart-warming smiles on nearly every page, along with some worrisome doubts, but nobody should be left with any doubt in their mind about the Lord saving everybody's reputation.
