Just about a perfect N Day today. It's almost a relief to be back to N after the weekend! Only gained 0.2 at my weigh in, which I'm really chuffed about because a) I ate LOADS this weekend and b) It's totm. Wow. This makes me think that once my S days settle down I might actually lose some more weight! In the meantime I've been maintaining successfully for 2 weeks, which after all is my real goal. WOo!
Sienna - Thank you! And thanks for looking in on me! I think this is the first time that both 'diet' and exercise have not felt like a chore in my life, but even actually a pleasure!
Tobiasmom - Hello! The bomb-diggity tofu recipe? Ha ha. It's funny you ask, actually, because I do
It's more of a method of preparation than a recipe but trust me it's magic, and the best tofu you'll make!
1) Take block of tofu out of the pack and drain off excess water. I use firm tofu where possible.
2) Put the block on a plate and stick in the freezer. Trust me.
3) Leave it there for as long as you can, preferably about 8 hours. This is when the magic happens. If you're planning to cook it in the evening I would do this in the morning.
4) Transfer frozen tofu to a bowl and defrost in the microwave until thoroughly defrosted.
5) Squeeze off excess water. You can wrap tofu in kitchen towel and squeeze down on it with a plate to do this, you'll need to repeat a couple of times to get rid of as much moisture as possible.
6) Heat some oil in a pan on a low / medium heat. Cut tofu into cubes and place in. Cook one side at a time, turning the cubes so they cook evenly. This bit takes patience.
7) Once golden on all sides, add any type of sauce you like to make (or buy!) and heat through.
Serve, and enjoy!
I know it seems like a lot of palaver but trust me, this method makes it seriously good and not in the least bit slimy or limp. The freezing is the magic step. You can of course do anything you like with the final product: serve with rice and veg, throw into a stew or soup, add to a curry... endless fun!!
Happy experimenting, let me know how you get on!
Most of the day was actually pretty N-like. Only S activity was that I shared a portion of chips before my actual dinner, and we ate out so dinner was a much larger plate (of pizza!) than I would have had at home. Also drank a fair amount of beer. Never had points for good beer on weight watchers. No more white wine spritzers for me! Cheers!
