Baked Tofu not as good as...



When Carrie Beaner lived with us she would regularly make us delicious baked tofu. She would put it in the refrigerator and it would be gone quickly. So, after she left I had no choice other than to bake my own tofu. It looks good but it was NOT delicious and it got moldy because it was not delicious. I asked Carrie for her recipe but she didn't tell me how to make it exactly. Here is a Christmas Cactus that she gave us that is doing really well. See all the new growth? It's red.

We had a big date today in Adams County



We drove to see Keims and Millers. Keims was our favorite because it had the best food and some wonderful gazebos.

My neighbor Terry



Terry & James came by and brought some tofu for me. This is what I made.

Well, tonight we have two bottles of Sauvignon Blanc, and one bottle of Australian Cabernet Sauvignon...between three of us...guess that's a bottle each. All of the finest...Charles Shaw. Anyway, the weather was perfect and I was in the hammock. Then we were served Italian pizza with tuna, black olives (except on my part), and mozzerella. Delicious!

Mi piace bere vino

At our house we drink a lot of wine. Mostly Trader Joe's two buck chuck.
