Thank you to all those who either attended the 2017 Soy & Tofu Festival or helped run it! We could not have held the festival without you, and we hope you had a fun time celebrating the joy of tofu. Here is a retrospective video created by the Nichi Bei Foundation that recounts the fun throughout the day. Thanks for being a part of the Soy & Tofu Festival, and we hope to see you next year!

Today marks the 20th Anniversary of the Sandlot, one of the greatest kids movies of all time. To celebrate, we’re recreating the perfect s’more (as taught by Ham Porter), with one little substitute: vegan marshmallows!tumblr_lyosrfulqa1qmnxe3o1_400 We love Dandies original vanilla vegan mallows — packed with soy protein. Pair with your preferred graham and chocolate, and you’re ready to go! 

 DIRECTIONS

Ham Porter: Hey, you want a s’more?

Smalls: Some more of what?

Ham Porter: No, do you want a s’more?

Smalls: I haven’t had anything yet… so how can I have some more of nothing?

Ham Porter: You’re killing me, Smalls!

“Alright now pay attention.”
