First time making soya milk! 😇 100g dry soya bean, wash clean and soak overnight. Sort the beans by picking out the rotten and the ones that are not soaked at all. 🤔 I got 210g good soaked beans this time. Add 100g soaked beans + 4 cup of cold water to Vitamix, blend at level 10 for 2 minutes.  Pour into an oil free tall pot, bring it to boil on medium heat, stir occasionally to prevent it from burning. After boiling, continue cooking for another 15 mins. Beans need to be fully cooked, or you will be poisoned by this innocent milk. 🫣 DO NOT watch your phone during the boiling process.!  STARE at the pot at all time! There we go... A delicious drink from mother earth 🌎  The Vitamix is very powerful, and you can hear it stating that loud and clear. 😜 I don't even notice the pulp when I drink it. Skipping the straining step completely. I would prefer the soya milk to be a little thicker.  I wil...

Turkey drumsticks on sale, first time buying it. Never cooked it before.  I remember the ones sold at Universal Studios, big, smoky, so tasty ... First, we need smoked salt! Found this one on amazon.ca. Roll up the skin on each drumstick.  Dissolve 50g brown sugar and 50g smoked salt in hot water. (NOTE: This is for 9 turkey drumsticks. Adjust the amount of salt based on the size and number of drumsticks. It is better to add less than more.) Add cold water to bring it to room temperature or lower.  Add some Bay leaves and whole black peppercorns.  Submerge all drumsticks in the water, add more water to cover them all.  Cover and store in the fridge for 12 hours. Mix dry rice with a little cooking oil and spread it evenly in the pan.  Roll down the skins on each drumstick, and lay then flat on a baking rack.  Use convection roast mood, 425F for 90 minutes, turn halfway. Cover with foil during the last 20 mins dependi...
