Tofu!

Today's recipe attempt was risky: tofu. Never cooked it before. I've tried it once or twice and thought it was okay, but nothing spectacular.

The recipe I used (from How to Cook Everything, by Bittman) was incredibly easy and delicious! Well, I did burn the ginger a bit, but other than that, it was great! Zade practically breathed it in--I think he especially liked the soft texture.

This whole trying-new-recipes thing is actually working. I groaned at the idea of cooking dinner tonight, and the thought of requesting fast food (uggggh!) even crossed my mind for a second. But when I saw that the menu I'd planned had tofu slated for today, I got excited again. I like to cook new things.

I went in maniac mode a couple weeks ago and planned recipes for the entire month of December: most of them are new recipes. I'm EXCITED about that. Hopefully that means that I'll end up cooking most of them, even as my energy seeps away in these last weeks of pregnancy.
