In hierarchical order: a. Thailand Monster Centipede (I hate them in the bathroom, alive. But, they are good to eat.) b. roosters c. barking dogs (the Husky dog is the worst, because I hate whiners) d. scorpions in my underwear after leaving it on the floor e. GuestHouse managers who are Old Toms (worse than the Monster Centipede, or uglier anyway)

Here is the problem with trying to make peanut butter in a blender...another example from YT:

This is the basic problem with either a blender or a food processor when making peanut butter. The desired consistency is just not there....

Does anybody remember JACK LALANNE? When we were young, around aged 16, we would be rolling on the floor anytime LaLanne came on TV. However, whatever he was doing seemed to have paid off...

I just have the Electrolux 800 watt blender with the "food processor" attachment, and the attachment is extremely small, probably suitable for a few cloves of garlic, and that is about it. The Chinese food processor might work, but it doesn't work great.

So then...what is the MOST important exercise as we age? FALL PREVENTION exercises. For older guys here, falling is a risk that can have dire consequences, either by breaking a hip, or worse. Here are some exercises worth trying in order to help you maintain balance:

I actually was looking through ALIBABA, and I saw this same machine. This machine is way above my price range. USD100 to USD120 would be OK, and I have seen a few machines in that range. I think the pricing on ALIBABA is quite a bit lower, in fact.

I began Chinese classes at PENN in 1974 where, at that time, 繁體字／繁体字, traditional characters were being taught to the intensive Mandarin students, primarily. Also, at that time, 簡體字／简体字, simplified characters were just being introduced to the Chinese language program, but exams were still given based on understanding of traditional characters. In Taiwan, of course, all instruction at ShiFan Daxue language center was conducted using traditional characters. Then, much later, I attended Sichuan Daxue language center in ChengDu, where I began reading simplified character Chinese text. I hate simplified characters because they are more difficult to discriminate, and not much more difficult to write. So, traditional characters are still better, but then, what would you expect from Commies that care nothing about the scientific method, and ONLY care about ideology. I now use exclusively simplified because this is what I use on a daily basis...

Arnold is now 74. He looks GREAT.... Just do what he does....as seen here:

Yes, and of course I understood your meaning. However, you were entirely correct that I DO need to buy a reliable machine. It's either get a decent machine and make great peanut butter myself, or just do without. I will never buy the stuff in jars sold here. I even actually purchased some locally made peanut butter a few months ago, and it turned out to be HALF peanuts and HALF soybeans! I have been going without peanut butter for about a decade. I bake my own bread with a fantastic machine I purchased from China which can bake 1.5 kilogram loafs, easy as pie. I am SURE I can find a good machine to make peanut butter from a supplier in China. I will continue to search. China has a ton of various kitchen equipment on offer at great prices. Grinding machines, or mills, are used to make paste for use in preparation of various kinds of noodle dishes, like MaJiangMian, or ZhaJiangMian, etc. Did I just write the word "loafs"? Obviously I can bake loafs better than I can spell "loaves". The miracle of the five Loafs and two Fishes?

If I had a true GF, I am quite sure that I would never refer to her love for me in such vulgar terms. However, each to his own, and more power to you... So,... SHINE ON!, Bro..... And, enjoy your regular pedicures

I'm quite sure they're all dead by now.

Even better: Start from scratch....to make peanut butter.

This machine would probably last me a lifetime. If this machine is made in China, I have friends in China. I might be able to get this machine at a deep discount, or... Maybe request a free sample, even. I love the fact that this machine requires no power source, and I am sure it's quiet in operation. If this is not made in China, then I can probably find a knockoff in China of similar quality. The color is attractive.

Although I cancelled this order a moment ago, I will find a better one to buy.... Better to pay more, in this case.

Most of the Thai soya milk has sugar added. Also, it seems to be very watered down. Or, they make it salty by adding salt, which is equally unacceptable.

After reading your comment, I immediately purchased one machine on Lazada for deliver before Aug 3rd. Then, on second thought, I checked Amazon and found this: And then, I checked a few reviews on Amazon: Correct: This thing on Lazada just looks like a toy for children playing house. I will immediately cancel my Lazada order... and look for the real deal on Amazon. China makes a lot of good kitchen appliances, but this does not appear to be one. A mill is a good addition to have in your kitchen, I think. But, I always buy the best quality I can afford, and am seldom disappointed. Good idea, though.

Looks good. Probably better to find one which is not made of plastic, if possible.

Nice Find! The only problem, if one wished to actually READ the 1927 volume is this: (I could probably read this through the uni library, but I haven't used the privileges in a while. Sad really, that so much good stuff is locked up by the Keepers Of The Knowledge....SICKENING, even!)

Also, can anyone find a link to the "Hu Shi" article in the 'Chinese Recorder', (Feb. 1927): 113-116, in which HuShi stated that the soybean is the Chinese steak. It's a rather famous quote that I read about 40 years ago. Wish I could read this article just one more time!

I miss my good old days when I could purchase FIVE liters of HIGH QUALITY bean milk for just 5 or 10 NTD (about 10 Baht)....just by walking two minutes, across the road.

DouJiang (Chinese name for soybean milk) is good warm, hot, or over ice, in fact, in summer months during the Hot Season. (Unlike revenge, which is a dish more satisfying served cold.)

Actually, the products that you mention sold by SEVEN or the donut places are much different than what one gets by going to a "bean-curd" factory. What you get at a bean-curd factory is quite thick in consistency, with much more of the fiber of the bean. The taste is completely different.

Reading Chinese logograms is, for me, much easier than reading Thai script, due to vowels and consonants that change in sound and meaning according to context and placement. I learned Mandarin, written Chinese, reading Chinese, and spoken Chinese, beginning in 1975. I still use my Chinese reading and speaking skills on a daily basis. Thai script is very difficult, still.

I eat a lot of MSG, just due to my love of soy sauce. I NEVER tell the cooks in Thailand to go easy on MSG. I leave the cooking to the cooks.
