To Be Titled

Striving to be a good dad, a good husband, a good son/brother, a good political scientist, a good photographer, a good cook and a good homo universalis.

Dinner—Wednesday, July 23

Tried a new dish out of Mollie Katzen’s The New Enchanted Broccoli Forest:

  • Sweet and Sour Tofu with Cashews

I served it with mixed brown-white rice, and it was delicious. Two short notes: 1) The recipe calls for a 20-oz can of pineapple chunks. It took me several re-reading of the recipe before I realized that pineapple chunks themselves do not go into the dish, only the juice. 2) Despite pre-mixing the cornstarch with some of the liquid from the sauce, the cornstarch-liquid mixture congealed immediately upon pouring into the saucepan with the rest of the sauce.
