RE: Dear Skimmers, I Know What You’re Thinking: “Dang, Dan! You Really Made Me Work My Arse Off On This One.”

No skimmy-mcskimmerson here. I perfectly paced my bowl of delicious dinner to finish the last bite right as I caught up with you in London. Looks like the quick stop in NYC was a success. I have some fond memories from my few visits to the city, so it always brings me back to those when I see pics like yours. Thanks for jogging the old memory bank. Looking forward to catching up more on the latest adventures. Thanks for checking in with your Steemy pals!

You know its gonna be a good day when my favorite second favorite Plant stops by! 😏 <— I just learned something, that winking emoji looks different on the iPad than my phone, you probably already knew that, didn't you? Good morning (it’s 8:30 here) @plantstoplanks, I only miss you all the time and thanks a lot for keeping an eye on us.

Yes, NYC was a success. In fact, this keyboard I’m using right now was one of my “wa! Wa!” Conveniences i was talking about. I never liked typing on the iPad before because it would get all hazed over with finger prints. I know... I have a long list of idionerdiosyncrocies.

Thanks for stopping by @plantstoplanks. I’m glad you enjoyed the pictures—my pleasure! Sorry I haven’t been by your page lately, things should slow down a little bit by the end of this weekend and give us some time to catch up with ya’all.

edit Hey! I forgot to ask.. what was in the bowl?

I know you two have been busy traveling, so no hurt feelings about the lack of visits. ;) It was a homemade sweet and sour tofu with eggplant and zucchini from the farmers market. Topped with some Napa cabbage and garden cukes marinated in a bit of a kimchi-ish sauce for some heat. Since you asked...

Well, the way you wrote and described it made it sound good. Even the picture looks yum! Man, really though, I’ve never been able to stomach tofu. Tiny bits, larger chunks, in salads, in stews or chilis, I can’t hang with it. My mouth really disagrees with the texture of tofu. Reminds me of something like mushy, flavorless peas with a hard apple skin coating or something.

And it’s actually high in protein which is something I’m always looking for and need—it sucks! I’ll even eat not so appetizing, bird seed type, unsweetened chocolate bar things just for the protein—tofu would be so much easier. Got any suggestions?

What about my description, how’d I do? Really, though, if you have any suggestions, I’m all ears eyes.

It took me a while to jump on the tofu bandwagon, but now I'm totally there. I still think tempeh is my favorite, though, so perhaps that is more your speed? It has a lot more texture to it, so I know some people like that more. My dad (not a vegan) really likes tempeh, especially in chili. Have you tried tofu scramble yet? I feel like when you mash it up and mix it in with a crap-ton of veggies you can't even tell you're eating it. Especially if you pop it in a wrap.

I'll have to come up with some more ideas for you, but I think @thekitchenfairy is pretty bomb at making tofu (and she's a fellow tempeh lover, too) in all her awesome dishes. I think @lenasveganliving had a tofu recipe I wanted to try at one point, too, but by golly my stomach just isn't big enough for all the yummy stuff I want to try from my favorite steem bloggers!
