Adventures in fake beef

 Hi Natty!  Did you enjoy your Christmas?  You have a beautiful family.  And that is a beautiful ugly sweater.  I didn't see your sister there though.  Was she the one with you in the bathroom?  That can't be...

Allah gave me the evening off, so I used the time to make soy meat again.  This time I added mushrooms with the blended soybeans.  The mushrooms didn't make much of a difference, though.  What made a difference was limiting my use of flour.  I used brown gravy mix to get the flavor of beef.  Technically, brown gravy mix isn't vegetarian because it has beef fat in it, but I am not a vegetarian.  I just happen to have a lot of soybeans right now.  The soy burgers were a success, but I couldn't get all of the whiteness of the soybeans to go away.  It was inside the burger, so you can't tell from the stock photo above.  But definitely, soybeans are better than tofu at making burgers.  My next attempt will be to make soy steak.

This was supposed to be a red and white outfit, but it turned out pink and white.
