Later this morning, I'll make scrambled tofu with tomatoes spinach and onions mixed in and have a pot of hot tea. Maybe sliced blood orange on the side.

1. I have a tofu tip

For you. It’s a game changer.

Boil the tofu in salted water for six minutes. Tear it up into pieces before you boil it. The tofu will then take on the flavors of whatever else you’re cooking at an enhanced rate.

As we both know, tofu does this anyway. If you try this method with a sauce like hoisin, for example, you will find it exceptionally delicious.

Also hosin tofu with Asian style veggies and rice would be a great #MeatlessMonday meal

No, haven’t seen her.

I tried this with orange sauce and broccoli and wanted to run out the door for more tofu!

I don't know why so early as we didn't go to sleep at the crack of dark as I predicted in the dinner thread. Oh well, we can nap today.

Ducky now does spins to ask for a bite. It's cute and a whole lot better than barking. This is different than zoomies as in "oh boy, food is coming."

9. leftover rice

Kind of a real strange combo actually:

Leftover Mexican rice with leftover taco meat and a cheesy egg on top.

(It's certainly tasty enough... lol)

coffee
