My friend, Teresa, and I went to see the movie Ray. I feel sure Jamie Fox will get best actor for it. I hadn’t realized that was his voice and piano playing. I could hardly get up to leave.
My youngest is at a friend’s, getting dreads. She has wanted this for so long. The latest reason she couldn’t was because of her job. Well, now she doesn’t have the job and after more than two years of waiting she just called and they are almost done. She sounded really pleased. I think it will be a good life lesson. But I’m pretty sure her dad will have a different opinion.
Did you see writer_within‘s comment about using the mirror for a story? Good idea, huh. I’ve started it, and so far it feels right. What doesn’t feel right is my stomach. Here’s what I did with the first batch of tofu:
I cut it up into sections which I placed in boiling water for ten minutes, just to kill the bacteria. Using a slotted spoon I removed the tofu and let it cool. In a frying pan I sautéed cut up pieces of sundried tomato, in a little of its oil. I added the tofu and crumbled it. To that I added a little tomato paste, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, garlic salt and lemon pepper.
In the blender I demolished fresh: red pepper, green onion, celery, in equal parts. I threw in the tofu mixture and pulverized it. The texture was sick but over spelt noodles, it tasted good. The mistake I made was in adding anything but dried seasoning to the tofu. It does bad things to the consistency. I’ll work on it because I really think the tofu is going to be a good replacement for fattening things I usually use in white sauces.

Wanna try my tofu pomadoro? Cut tofu into rectangles (about half the size of a deck of cards) and cook them in a frying pan at medium heat until brown on both sides. While cooking tofu,
1) cut 4 roma tomatoes into chunks
2) slice 3-4 button mushrooms
3) mince 2-4 cloves of garlic
4) sliver lengthwise (with the grain) one-half of a medium onion
5) sliver 5-6 fresh basil leaves
In two tablespoons of olive oil in hot pan, throw in garlic and onions. When onions look “wet” (that means the onions have heated enough to begin to emit its moisture, about a minute or two), add the mushrooms, stir twice then add the tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook until the tomatoes are heated through and slightly melted (about 5 minutes?). Pour over cooked tofu and sprinkle basil on top. Option 2 which is not bad either: If you use dry basil instead of fresh, add the basil when cooking onions, then garnish with fresh green onions.
I wonder fi I should get some dreads… It would totally freak out my students. Hahahahahh!
Now tell me about killing the bacteria. Is this bulk tofu? I haven’t even done it for that. Is there something I should know?
i loved my dreads when i got them…. but they took 4 hours and and lasted three days ( i stretched them to five) but the fine whisps of hair everywhere wasn’t the look i was going for. the best reactions… my kids at school and the people at church….
I love eating TOFU… it is an excellent cheese replacement.
