In prep for today's Misfits delivery including tofu, I made the dipping sauce and organized the breading. This makes crisp sticks of tofu which I plan to go with soup.
Easiest sauce ever: small dash oil, ketchup and soy sauce. That's it. So I hope the tofu shows up. Yeung Man Cooking stars again.
Meanwhile the bags and ice blocks are out for return, and you can see the lavender trying to fall over again
It's topheavy so the wind or a climbing squirrel, can topple it. The roots are through into the ground, but I don't like them to be yanked about when the pot falls over.
Update: The tofu arrived, but today, unusually, the delivery came mid-afternoon, rather than midmorning, so my lunch plans underwent a change. Tofu sticks for supper now, with spinach. The instructions say to test when the oil is hot enough, put in the tip of a bamboo skewer, if bubbles form, it's hot enough. I don't have one, so I used a bamboo knitting needle.
Here:
Very crisp and crunchy, finger food, dip in the sauce.
No new eggs, potatoes or apples this week, owing to a surfeit. And possibly these are chickpeas but you never know. Sliced cheese instead of a block, I really have to read my orders better, but oh well. Oats for crumbles and bread baking. Berries and yogurt for desserts. Chocolate cherries because I'm worth it.
Gary is home, picked up the houseplants I was rehabbing for him, and gave me an update on a piece of furniture the across the street neighbor is replacing. Doesn't take much to entertain me these days. And wherever Gary is, there's action.
