Tonight's dinner
Here's what we had for dinner:
It was really quite yummy. I used Crystal's recipe for Honey-Glazed Tofu, with a couple modifications. Basically, you get a pound of firm or extra-firm tofu, press out the water, cut it in 1/2-inch cubes, salt it and saute it in 2 T olive oil over medium-high heat, flipping the cubes until they're browned. In the meanwhile, whisk together 2 T honey, 1 T soy sauce, 2 T water and 1 t Thai chili sauce. When the tofu is browned, toss in the honey sauce, shake it up and saute it for 1-2 min, until the tofu is nicely glazed.
On the side is a broccoli-baby corn stirfry from Nava Atlas. You pour 1/4 c sherry and 1 t sesame oil into a stirfry pan, add 4 c broccoli florets and 1 chopped carrot, and saute until the broccoli is bright green and crisp-tender. Then you add a can of drained baby corn and some salt, and heat the corn through.
I probably won't be going to DC. D is going on the bike ride, but my housing options fell through. Another time...

I'm sorry that the DC trip doesn't look like it'll work out :(

I like that description, too - "candy with nutrition". Right up my alley!
We grilled some tofu and veggies last night on skewers. It was good, but I think it's better when you marinate the tofu for a couple of hours first. Otherwise it seems to get a bit too dry (we just spritzed with olive oil and used some seasoning).
I cheated and got some tofu cause I missed it so much!
