Moms do everything better

Tonight I tried to recreate this thing that my mom used to make all the time when I was little involving rice, tofu and mushrooms.  It didn’t work, but what I ended up with was okay, anyway:

It looks kind of risottoy, but that’s through no talent of my own.  I just over cooked the rice [...]

I need a miracle

I made this for dinner again, except this time I kind of forgot to look at the recipe halfway through and just started throwing things together.  I have a bad habit of doing that, but it turned out fine:

Once again, I would like to tell you that I am in love with these bread crumbs.  [...]

Take 2

I know.  I am an idiot.  I forgot to get a close up of the tofu.  You’ll just have to trust me when I tell you that Emily is very smart.
Here are her instructions:

Tofu success!

Remember when I wrote about how I am really bad at cooking tofu? (Sorry there are no pictures in that post; when I had my photo issues, all of my uploaded ones - which means only, you know, like 4,000 or something - got deleted.)  Well, this week I am on a mission.

Unless you consider about a pound of cookie dough a snack.
I don’t.

Chocolate chip cookies.  I made them for my friend’s bbq tomorrow.  And then I ate three.  And then I stood over the tupperware container, staring at them.  Chris finally pulled me away when [...]

Insert title here

I think I figured this little issue out.  Or at least a very nice man named Andrew in support did.  Apparently I have to start naming my pictures.
Sigh.  It’s a whole additional step that I’m just not that interested in taking on, but I guess I’ll manage.
The first picture I have for you tonight is [...]

Baffled

I don’t understand tofu.  I try and I try and I try, but I just can’t get it right.
Tonight, I tried the freezer method, which I thought was finally going to be the answer to all of my tofu questions.  You drain it, freeze it, defrost it, then squeeze the water out again.
It was a [...]

So needless to say I woke up with a headache this morning and had a ton of stuff to do like errands, grocery shopping, cleaning, etc. For breakfast I had the same thing as yesterday, minus the banana because we were all out:

Then we walked Jack to the other end of the neighborhood to [...]
