Seems pretty American to me

I love wadi/soy chunks but I have to soak them in room temp water first, then squeeze them out, then put into water and squeeze it inside the bowl of water a few times to wring it out like a sponge, change the water and do it again. It opens up the space between the textured soy and makes it absorb flavors much better

I always share this video whenever I can https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJPdlCx07G0

I’m starting to think the Fediverse has the wrong focus. We keep talking about growing MAU and promoting "the Fediverse" as if it’s a product, but that’s backwards. Before Reddit and Twitter, niche communities grew around websites like fansites, blogs, and tools that happened to have a forum attached. People came for the content, and stayed for the conversation.

So instead of just telling people to join Lemmy or Mastodon or promoting sports on Lemmy, we should embed Fediverse features into purpose-built websites. That creates a feedback loop: the site promotes the community, and the community fuels the site. You can build out unique features like scoreboards, event calendars, or curated resources and then use Lemmy threads as the discussion layer. Some users will interact directly on the site, while others can subscribe via their own Fediverse client. Everyone wins.

That’s exactly what I’m trying to do with Vegan Home Cooks. I’m syncing Lemmy posts into the site, but I’m also building out original features beyond just the forum. The goal is for the site to be the thing people discover and remember, with federation as the invisible engine underneath. I’m still figuring out the recipe for success, but I think this model has more potential than evangelizing Lemmy.

Lemmy just isn't what you think it is. The monthly user count doesn't matter. If people wanted reddit content they would just go to Reddit. Lemmy is a replacement for the small scale human authored forums of the 2000s. Reddit killed them with embrace, extend, extinguish. Lemmy isn't a replacement for Reddit, it is a replacement for the thing Reddit extinguished.

I don't care about reddit posts and traditional social media. If I did I would just use that. I use reddit to moderate and participate in my small community with a few posts a week and I think it is going well.

Right but if you are looking for soy curd recipes or info look up yuba, tofu skins or bean curd. Soy curd isn't a typical name for them even though it is technically accurate.

Soy curds is different than coy curls. Soy curds is either tofu or yuba

[–] beanburger@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Butler Soy Curls is the brand name

My nesco pot lasted me 11 years now my current instant pot is on year 5. The only part I've ever had to replace is the rubber ring gasket which is available online.

I baked a cup of brown lentils and cup brown rice with grated carrots, some onions, cubed potatoes and left over canned tomatoes and 4.5 cups of water with nutritional yeast, dill, and curry powder mix in the oven at 175c for like an hour and a half

The raita is cucumber, cilantro, silken tofu, water, salt, pepper, lemon juice and a bit of water blended up.

I didn't use an USA imperial measurement "cup", I used a literal coffee cup lol
