A local blog was featured in the paper today. Excellent article and excellent blog.
It's about eating well on a small budget. LOVE it. Mostly my personal philosophy except I know hardly nothing about cooking.
I am definitely bookmarking this one.
-----------------------------------
I've never been a fan of tofu or soy in particular. I guess with age I am less adverse to it.
I have surprisingly become a fan of soy beans, but dh was scared to deal with it. He just didn't know how to cook it, etc. I kept bugging him to buy some and I'd figure it out. Yeesh.
Alton Brown came to the rescue. We recently caught a Good Eats about soy beans. & the best way to cook them? MICROWAVE! Dh was then sold. !
We also tried this recipe - divine:

In other news, the weather was so HOT we finally opened up dh's "window sill herb growing kit" we got him for Christmas. I figured the warmth would be good for the little seeds.
The heat did its job. Instructions said 7-10 days for things to start growing. Um, how about 2-3 days?
The front window sill (spacious) has proved a good spot for out little herbs. If our little pots and prepackaged soil don't do the job, this may kick our butts into doing a DIY window herb project. That being said, the only problem is the cat. Hope she stays out of them... Will see!
We could try outside. I have no idea how herbs do in the heat though.
Well, for now they are growing, well and FAST! Cilantro, chives, basil, oregano and ???.
Our front window mostly faces east. Maybe a smidgen to the south/east. South or Southeast is recommended. Close enough I guess. Getting sun is not a problem!!
