Good morning all you beautiful people. Another perfect day here in #Adelaide. A week of such perfect weather - not as common these days.

Yesterday was such a beautiful day. A long and lazy lunch meeting at Plant 4 with clients where we teased out a nutty problem over 3 hours, Asian food and coffee.

A stop at my fav Asian grocery on the way home to browse and stock up on lots of #tofus and #tempeh. There are SO MANY Asian greens in the shop atm, difficult to choose which ones to bring home. All fresh and gorgeous.

And BOXES of #DrumstickLeaves (Moringa Leaves) everywhere! I got a couple of LARGE bunches and will dry most and make something Indian with the rest. (I have tried for about 7 years to grow moringa here and it just won't grow. 😭 )

I got a few #mangoes as well, and will dehydrate them a la @sister_ratched for next week's last minute gifts. This Asian shop has the best range of mangoes, many types that we don't see in supermarkets or in most fruit and veg shops.

Last weekend I gave it another shot to make #tempeh at home.

Now we've had tempeh every day for a week. It was fantastic. My plan is to make it again. However, before that I need to build some things to provide a better source of heating.

But I do have a plan for this. A new plan. That seems way better than my old plan like 4 years ago.

i've always been impressed by @Leisureguy, who makes his own tempeh from scratch. he has a blog, on which he posts about cooking, and specifically interesting (to me, at least) are his tempeh recipes. he uses all kinds of legums and grains, unlike what you tend to find in stores

One argument for making tempeh for yourself instead of buying it in a store (apart from being able to choose your own combination of beans (or lentils) and grain) is that the tempeh you make costs about 10% of what you pay for it in a store.

Here is how I calculated that

If you eat a non-animal diet, tempeh fits nicely in the niche that meat occupies in the standard diet.
