cream to frost with (chill the layers first). Then use a vegetable peeler to
make curls from a thick chocolate bar and arrange around the top of the cake.
Little chocolate bits made in the process of doing the curls can be sprinkled
in the center.

.RH REC.FOOD.RECIPES-#196 SOYMILK OV "12 Nov 91" 1991
.RZ "SOYMILK"
Here is a rather detailed description of making soymilk from \fIThe Tofu
Cookbook\fR by Cathy Bauer and Juel Andersen. The book begins "we dedicate
this book to all people who have tried tofu -- once." One of it's strong
points is that is contains many good recipes for using okara, the mashed
soybean leaftovers of soymilk making.
.IH
.IG "1 lb" "soybeans" "450 g"
.PH
.SK 1
You need a large bowl and a colander. Rinse the beans. Cover them with enough
cold water to allow for expansion. Soak overnight. Drain the beans and rinse
again before using. If you can't make soymilk by the next day, you can store
the beans in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the
freezer up to 3 months.
.SK 2
You need blender, food processor, food grinder, measuring cup and a large pot.
.PP
\fBBlender and food processor method:\fR
.PP
Apply a nonstick surface, such as oil or lecithin, to the pot. Heat 2 cups
water in the pot on low. Blend beans, using 3 parts water to 2 parts soaked
beans. Add batches to the pot as you blend. The beans will have now expanded
to about 7 \(12 cups so you will be using about 11 cups of water. Use another
cup to rinse the blender/food processor into the cooking pot. Total water used
up to this point will be about 14 cups.
.PP
\fBGrinder method:\fR
.PP
Grind the beans as fine as possible, perhaps using a medium and then a fine
screen, grinding them twice. Begin with the same amount of water as above, 14
cups and add the bean mash to the water.
.SK 3
Cook the soy mixture over a medium fire, loosely covered. Bring it to a
rolling boil, reduce heat, and simmer for at least 15-20 minutes. The cooking
time is important, as raw soybeans contain a factor known as tripsin
inhibitor. Essentially, this means that the protein contained in the beans
cannot be properly assimilated by the body unless the beans are well cooked.
.SK 4
You need a colander, large pot and enough cheesecloth to line the colander.
While the beans are cooking, wet the cheesecloth and place it in the colander.
Next place the colander over the pot. It's best to do this in a sink, because
the next step tends to be sloppy.
.SK 5
Pour the cooked mixture into the colander to separate out the soymilk. Rinse
the empty pot with 1 cup of water and pour the residue into the colander. Wash
the cooking pot and apply a nonstick surface again. Transfer the strained
soymilk to the large pot and return it to the stove. Pour 4 cups of water at a
time through the soy mash. Repeat twice, using a total of 12 cups water. After
draining, gather the mash up in the cheesecloth and press, squeeze, twist it
until as much soymilk as possible has drained out. Add to the pot on the stove
and heat again to boiling. Let it cool to room temperature.
.PP
Congratulations, you're done! You will now have 1 \(12 gallons of soymilk.
Soymilk has about the same refrigerator life as cow's milk.
.NX
To fortify the soymilk add 300 milligrams calcium, from calcium lactate or
calcium carbonate, for each cup of milk, 50-150 micrograms of B12 for the
batch, 1 tsp honey and 1 tsp oil for each cup of milk.
.PP
A note on the calcium: calcium lactate is soluble and acts as a solidifier,
so if you add it to warm soymilk, it will curdle. Calcium carbonate is
insoluble, but won't curdle the milk.

.RH REC.FOOD.RECIPES-#196 PLAYDOUGH-3 O "12 Nov 91" 1991
.RZ "EDIBLE PLAY DOUGH"
.KY KIDS
When I saw Lisamarie Babik's recipe, and I was reminded of my mom's recipe for
edible play dough. While it doesn't have quite the same texture and feel as
traditional play dough, it's nice and malleable. We used to eat it with graham
crackers. This way you can build your play dough creations using the graham
cracker as a base. We used to make smiley faces, animals, and other little
sculptures. It's very, very sweet, so kids should love it.
.IH
.IG "1/3 cup" "margarine" "75 g"
.IG "1/3 cup" "light corn syrup" "75 ml"
.IG "\(12 tsp" "salt"
.IG "1 tsp" "vanilla extract"
.IG "1 lb" "powdered sugar"
.IG "" "food coloring"
.PH
.SK 1
Mix everything except the sugar together.
.SK 2
Add sugar. Knead. Divide and add food coloring. Then refrigerate it to keep
from spoiling.
.NX
You may also want to experiment with various extracts to give it some flavor
other than just raw sweetness. I've never done this, so you'll have to
experiment.
