Things I Am Not Good At
1) Updating this blog.
Here’s the thing. I have been cooking up a storm lately. I have been photographing these foods. I have NOT been doing a very good job of updating this. Right now I have three nights of class a week for a total of 13 hours–after my 40 hour work week. Plus, you know, homework. Plus, since my old band broke up (miss you, Kacyn!), I have been pretty busy getting my new band off the ground for shows. This busy busy schedule not only makes me crabby with my loved ones, but also keeps me from doing things I enjoy, such as writing here. Luckily, I am only two weeks from finishing this crappy semester, and then I have big plans, including MUFFIN THURSDAYS, which must always be typed in caps because “muffin thursdays” is not nearly as thunderous as MUFFIN THURSDAYS. Plus, I love making muffins but can’t (and shouldn’t) eat them all the time, so I like to bring them to my office’s staff meetings on Thursday mornings. I’ve been canvassing for more good muffin recipes, so if you’ve got one, please please send it to me at food at thefoodsex dot com.
2) Making tofu scramble. What the hell? I’m usually pretty adept with tofu, but I am a failure at breakfast-tofu.

This is one I made by heating some olive oil in a pan, then crumbling tofu in and cooking it for a few minutes, adding some garlic powder and granulated onion (because I’m stinky, okay??) and then tossing in some vegetables (broccoli, mushrooms, sundried tomatoes) and cooking a bit longer, finally topping with sliced green onions. It really looks pretty, but it just wasn’t all I dreamed it would be. Help me, internet–what am I doing wrong?

we should join forces on perfecting the tofu scramble sometime.
secret ingredient: turmeric
i’ll have to get joel to pass along his recipe–he makes a mean one.
sometimes the dishes that are most open to interpretation can be the toughest to “get right,” you know?
MUFFIN THURSDAY YES

Spices - and lots of them - are key to the perfect tofu scramble. I have a half dozen interpretations under my belt, and I’d be happy to share with you sometime!
