2005 resolutions and goals
Published by Becky S January 3rd, 2005 in newsy
In no particular order:
- Wash ghetto car at least one time
- Finish a writing project
- Play more games
- Go to bed earlier
- Explore the possibility of buying a house
- Send more snail mail
- Stop playing the field and commit to Viggo. Sorry, George Clooney and Doug Glanville.
- Less Internet, more books
- Expand my tofu repertoire
- Eliminate the clutter.
I’m with you on the more books/less Internet. How do you want to expand your tofu repertoire? I have some recipes to share.
Hi Yoko! Well, first of all, crumbly tofu in stir fry makes me cranky. It never comes out nicely browned in solid cubes like in the cookbook pictures.
But mostly I have trouble getting tofu to be flavorful. Usually I cube it, marinate it in jerk seasoning, and bake it, but I’m looking for new tricks.
“Play more games”
What kind of “games?”
aha!
Crumbly tofu in stir-fry makes me cranky too. I think one trick is to dredge the cubes in flour first, then fry them by themselves, then take them out when you stir-fry the veggies and then put the tofu in again at the end. But I’ll send you some other recipes, and they’re plenty flavorful!
Thanks, Yoko!
Clair–Dutch Blitz. Duh.
There are also different textures when it comes to tofu. There is firm, extra firm and even extra extra firm. This firm tofu doesn’t crumble at all.
My whole life is clutter, so if I eliminated it what would be left?
I do agree about the book thing, but alas I only see the internet eating up more and more of my time.
You’re like the 5th blogger, myself included, who has somewhat resolved to read more books. What does this mean? *strokes chin*
I like this list because it’s difficult to decide whether to take it seriously or not!
“Go to bed early” No true blogger has any concept of time - day and night mean nothing!
“Send more snail mail” Does anyone still do that?
“Less Internet, more books” Now I know you are being funny!
“Eliminate the clutter” Oh yeah, and then install pink fluffy curtains, fluffy pillows, and a bunk bed. No serious blogger can eliminate the papers, manuals, pens, CDs, DVDs, nor misc’ computer parts from their office… oh, your office may not look mine.
Jen, I think it means that we should give up our broadband connections and hit the library.
Zervoid, I never claimed to be a serious blogger!
yoko is right about the tofu. fry it first alone then toss it back in at the end. I assume you’re also pressing it before cooking to get all the extra water out?
Right, back to the tofu…
Sam, I use the extra firm lowfat kind. Theresa, I press the water out.
However, I never cook it alone first. I’m not sure how I got this far in life being so ignorant about tofu.
Thanks for the help, and thanks again to Yoko for e-mailing the recipe.
