One more tofu hijack from a decidedly omniverous family.

We make bean milk

1 cake silky tofu
1 C. chicken broth
chopped white part of 4 green onions.

Puree in a blender

Pour into a saucepan and warm through.

Serve in bowls with
soy
sesame oil
chopped green part of green onions
Chopped Chinese pickles
Chinese crullers. (Think zeppole without the powdered sugar)

This is without doubt the most soothing in the world to eat when you have a cold.  It's also a spectacular  hangover cure. 

According to Mr. thipu's Mom, the traditional bean milk is insanely long and complicated to make.  We did this when we visited her and she was impressed.

So I visit my friend's house today. I walk right past his mom without even a greeting, then I start to raid the fridge. I shout "Hey, you're out of tea." But he shows me the two cans behind some soup or something, I then take the cans, pass one to him, and then drink the other. I din't even ask if I could have some!

I'm really sorry. Ok, I cast myself into eHell for this!

I think that you probably should have said "Hello" to friend's mom. But your story brings to my mind a book I read recently called "Refrigerator Rights". [Interesting book, BTW.]
Based on your story, your friend had granted you the rights to peeking in and grabbing a beverage.
