I’m taking notes on how to plan dispersed camping.

Purely Elizabeth’s Blueberry Hemp Granola Review – Not Recommended
I don’t like this granola because it’s too salty and the blueberries are too hard. We eat this granola with yogurt or in smoothies and it’s shocking how we can still cover it and still find it too salty. The dried blueberries taste so stale that it hurts our teeth chewing.

Here’s a list of tofus that I’ve tried in the US — mostly west coast California. I generally cook my tofu in two ways: boiled in salt water or crispy fried with corn starch.
