It’s around midnight and time for some food to go into the body. I prepare cups of tea and toast for the men of the house (British husband and 13 year old nephew who are busy playing a video game). I don’t want toast. I don’t want a bowl of cereal. I don’t want the left over mac and cheese. What did catch my eye? The silken tofu I had been draining for some unknown recipe in the near future. The future is apparently midnight on a Tuesday/Wednesday.

I scooped out about 3 heapting tablespoons of tofu, smashed it up with a heaping tablespoon of Vegenaise, a few shakes of a sort of local vinaigrette (Grandma’s Cool and Zesty), about a tablespoon of slightly chopped fresh onion, and a shake or two of curry powder. The smashing continued and suddenly I got the inspiration to put a tiny bit of chopped carrot in the mix. That detail didn’t make it to the lovely graphic because I only JUST remembered it was in there.

I had a packet of small flour tortillas and spread a bit of the delightful combination on two of them, folded, and completely enjoyed the holy loving tofu-goodness out of it. Creamy and slightly sweet, with that hint of curry and the crunch of the carrot, oh I’m ready for more right now.

I hadn’t used the silken tofu before, but I know I like extra firm of the other type so I got extra firm of the silken and it’s so smooth, so delicate. I can now imagine making all kinds of good things with it….but never forget this delicious midnight snack!! Late night protein with that creaminess my taste buds crave.

Ten different people have ten different opinions about how you should do your hair. Over there are ten different opinions about your clothes, your attitude, your shoes, your job, your music, your movies, your hobbies, your voice, your make-up, your earrings, your taste in men, your fingernails, and every other aspect of who you are….it’s an amazing thing in this lifetime if we can patchwork together a version of ourselves that we can live with, if we’re lucky.
