Hump Day Sampler Platter

How about instead (4.00 / 5)

I 8 TOFU?

or TOFU4ME?

(Reminds me of the Far Side cartoon that showed Godzilla driving a car down the road with a license plate that said I8NY)

Well, I'll be damned! (4.00 / 4)

I read it that way at first, too!

a vegan woman denied her "ILVTOFU" license plate choice because it could be misinterpreted as I Love To F-U.

And I do eat tofu every once in a while!  Never claimed to love it, though...

:)

I enjoyed this piece from HuffPo -

When I speak, people invariably want to argue this point. They want their artificial sweetener. I often get comments like, "It's FDA approved." WARNING! WARNING! If the government has to "approve" something for consumption THERE IS A PROBLEM! It is simply approved until enough people die, than it will be unapproved.

Ouch!

my matzo balls and veggie soup (4.00 / 2)

were a huge hit last night. I made over 24 balls and have 3 left. and I had my cousin who was a professional chef. He said the seltzer really made the difference. That and the eggs were fresh.gathered by me the night before
matzo balls..
for about 8 balls..following recipe on box
1/2 matzo meal
2 eggs
1/4 oil
1/4 cup seltzer
I added  little fresh nutmeg to above...

put in fridge for at least 1/2 an hour...then add to boiling water and cook for an 1/2 hour. I cooked them earlier in the day and added to hot soup and served..

the soup was great too. Thai soup...I cooked a shit load of fresh veggies..carrots,parsnips,mushrooms ..and shredded lemngrass, and  fresh coriander. the mushrooms added a depth.after stock has cooked for a while and has been strained , I added fresh carrots and fresh parsnips and cooked til soft. Then froze. last night I also added a little of thai green curry paste found in a small jar in Whole foods..
