I’ve never stolen the nickels from a beggarman’s cup, but I have taken dead men’s shoes. And hats, coats, shirts, ties, and, occasionally, identities. There’s a difference there. Slight but vital.

Most tofu comes packed in water, so the number one thing you always need to do is drain the block as much as possible. A water-logged block of tofu won’t absorb am marinade or get crispy in a frying pan. To drain it, slice the block and place the slices in a single layer on a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Top tofu with more paper towels and then a heavy object (a cast-iron skillet, cookbooks). Let sit at least one hour, preferably two. (Tip: If you know you want tofu for dinner, let it drain in the fridge during the day.) Once drained, you can marinate the tofu or start cooking it.

Raining heavily this morning, and all day yesterday. Should have started building that ark when I had the chance. Warm as toast (well 65f toast) outside, so snow is not happening. Yesterday we just rattled around the house and watched tv. Allison seems to be mending up well, and my pneumonia is abating, though I may have caught her cold.

Bagels for breakfast, and a cup of coffee for her, maybe a little cocoa for me.

Having a rest works for me, I hope she’s not getting a little stir crazy.
