(Food and Cooking)

Playing around with my bean stew recipes some more, I decided first to cook one of my $3 white onions. Except I used a different element and ended up browning them. So I went with it.

I used only Chick peas and when washing them to cook them (just in case) I saw that they had a fine skin. Trying to get them off wasn’t working, so I brought them to a rapid boil and had to fiddle around to get the skins to float to the top of the pot to skim them off.

I wasn’t sure what to do with the handfuls of these weird skins. They remind me of spent paintball shells.

Add stuff, cook stuff.. yadda yadda.. the pot is cooling in the freezer, so I can box it all to bring it to work without melting the plastic. Maybe I should use a piece of cardboard like those Chinese restaurants.

Tofu is a curious food which I experimented with a little. I know that there are a lot of things which can be done with the stuff, but I wasn’t particularly interested in a new art form, just a new substance.

My overall impression is that Tofu is indeed a versatile food, but there’s something about the technology in it which offends some part of me. Tofu is a particularly processed food in my eyes, and for that reason I don’t believe I will use it heavily. I may have to revisit this moral issue if I more closely examine Vegetarianism.

I work with hard/firm tofu . It has a firm texture resembling a soft meat.

Cubed and fried, it tastes something like a plain doughnut.
