food is a kind of stuff to make
Food is, in fact, the most delicious kind of stuff to make. I hit on a pretty good recipe last night so I am going to put it here for posterity. It is based on this recipe for baked tofu with the following changes:
- Three cloves of garlic is the amount for suckers who do not love garlic as much as me. Five or six cloves will do.
- There was no white wine in the house; I substituted mirin (rice vinegar).
- Olive oil was not pan-Asian enough so I used peanut oil and a little sesame oil instead.
- The only lemon in the house had already been zested so I just used its juice.
- Lastly, I tossed in about 2 tsp. of the Spice House Argyle Street blend which is full of sesame seeds and lemongrass and hot pepper and deliciousness. The Spice House is pretty much the reason I am able to cook things that taste good.
I threw the tofu in the oven and then we activated our amazing teamwork powers and nickd cooked rice and stir-fried a bunch of veggies (broccoli, mushrooms, bean sprouts, green onions) with some fresh ginger and some more garlic. (There is never too much garlic). Then, it ruled, and we ate out on the porch and drank some Two Hearted Ale. The end.
Tune in next time when I write about a sweater for real!
