Sunday night, I spread the joy of tofu to La Guardiania. What was going to be a nice small gathering at a friend’s house became a huge multifamily affair. We all gathered in someone’s house, where we watched Ice Age 2 in Spanish and discussed “los carismaticos.” (I still don’t know what they are, but it made for an awfully interesting debate that, as a non-Catholic, I kindly stayed out of.)
The evening began at Mateo’s house (pictured below with his wife, Maria).
I then proceeded to teach them how tofu is cooked (excited starting face below).
First, you chop up your veggies.
Throw them all in and give it a good stirrin’. (If I was Paula Dean, this is where the stick of butter would come in.)
Give it one last shake and you’re good!
Sadly, I don’t have any pictures of people trying it – that would have been a hoot. There were two jalepeños for a mere block of tofu, so it was pretty darn hot! They all enjoyed it nonetheless and I’m certainly glad to be spreading comida a la Benjamín throughout Latin America. (As some of you may remember, I taught some other friends here how to cook tofu and now I have it at home every ones in a while.)
Finally, here’s a picture of the snow that appeared one day last week. If the crackheads in Washington want to claim THIS kind of snow is nomal and evidence that there’s no climate change (like they did a few months back during the bad storms) then I really don’t know what to say….
