The great cast iron versus nonstick tofu cookoff, round one 27 March 2007 5:25 pm
Posted by Tracy in : seasonality, garden, vegan, vegetarian, friends, eating, cooking , 2 commentsI had hoped to do some gardening today, to warm up for wrangling the raised beds at Allison’s place in Corvallis if there’s any energy left for anything but drinking tea after the bike ride there (and I should be up for plenty of fun and games if my recovery from Sunday’s adventures are any indication, but I digress). But back to that warming up idea for a minute, because I need to keep it firmly in mind: It’s so cold and wet outside today that I’m seriously thinking about breaking open the freezer for the last of the split pea soup I made at the end of February. Dangit. I even made a special trip past the hippie home and garden store on my way home from work yesterday, for peat pots and floating row cover material! Whine, whine, whine.
In much better news, for last night’s dinner I made my first attempt at using my biggest and best-seasoned cast-iron skillet for pan-fried tofu, and I am happy to report that it turned out pretty darn delicious! (more…)
