Death Clutch T-shirt

I saw UFC 87 this weekend and saw something strange with Brock Lesnar's shirt:




Hmmm, that skull looks familiar...




aHA! Almost exactly the same skull that the band Våld has in their logo. In their album "BOYCOTT YOUR LIFE" from 2006 I read that the skull logo was made by "Robin Backman". Which would mean that Death Clutch completely ripped off Våld's logo for Brock's new mega-sized shirt! Quite a funny find, would be fun to hear what the shirt designer has to say about this.

Seitan Sausage

Today I made some seitan sausage from this recipe Spicy Italian Vegetarian Sausages
There is also video of how to make them: video

All the ingredients here, had to buy seasoning stuff for 18 euros. I also added liquid smoke, some sesame oil, white vinegar and more olive oil and spices.


Wrapped the seitan into foil.


Steamed them in a wok.


Ready.


I have tasted them and at the moment they are VERY soft, going to let them chill overnight and see if they get harder (lol). Maybe there was too much steam.

The taste is good, but I bet it can be made 10 times better. Going to experiment more with the seasoning next time.

Homemade Tofu

Start with a soy milk maker and 100 gr of dry soy beans.



Calcium sulfate that will curdle the soy milk.



Soy milk blended with calcium sulfate.



Remove excess water with cheese cloth.



Press the tofu in a mold with a weight on.



From soy bean to tofu in about 50 minutes.



Can be eaten directly or stored in a water in refrigerator with the water changed daily.

I am not still really happy with the result, the tofu is a bit grainy and too soft. Need to experiment with different techniques.
