I just heard this morning that Gay Gerber, one of the outstanding teachers at Fairview School, succumbed to her illness and passed away. She never gave up, and never compromised her dedication to, or love for, her students. She will be sorely missed, and fondly remembered.
I’m going to start posting some of the family favorite recipes here. This one came from somewhere, back in my FidoNet days, and we must have it 3-4 times a month, it’s so good. It’s a bit different from the original, but still really easy and good.
Tofu Indonesian Style
1/4 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, chopped
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
3 scallions, sliced
1 pound firm tofu, cubed
Process the peanut butter, soy sauce, water, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, vinegar, and sugar in a small food proccessor or blender.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spoon the liquid mixture into an 8×8 pan. Put the tofu cubes in, and mix gently to cover. Sprinkle scallions and sesame seeds over the top.
Bake tofu about 25 minutes, until hot in the center. Serve over rice or chinese noodles and spoon additional sauce over the top.
We spent all day yesterday packing – picking things up and bending over, carrying things up and down stairs, and I’m going to be really grateful to my Chiropractor tomorrow morning. Actually, I’m grateful now – he’s done enough work on me that I was >able< to pack and carry and all. A couple of weeks ago it wouldn’t have been possible.
