ok, here's the verdict: not bad. on a scale from one to ten, i give it a 6. here's the recipe. watch out for the edges of the tofu crisps... they can be pretty hard.


Tofu-tortilla Nachos...

Cover the bottom of a baking sheet with oil. Slice a block of extra firm tofu thinly and place on the sheet. Lightly coat the tops of the slices with oil and sprinkle with ONE of any of the following seasonings (thanks doug):

- cajun seasoning mix
- tex mex seasoning mix
- chili powder
- paprika
- curry powder


Bake in oven at 400 degrees F for about 10 min per side, until crisp and medium brown. Remove from oven and arrange on a plate. Sprinkle with green pepper, onion, and cover with grated cheese. Put back in oven for 5 min, then serve with salsa.

good luck!

cajun spice!

if recipe works, will post online in journal. promise!
i'm really hungry, can you tell? killing time while tofu is turning into tortillas... mmmm imagining wonderful tortilla-like nachos with salsa and cheese and...

god i hope these don't suck.
reading michael moore's latest book "stupid white men" and loving it. ah. michael moore. still haven't bought bowling for columbine on DVD but plan to do so and show it to EVERYONE i know. so they will buy it and spread the word. he is a good man.

i am, at this very moment, trying an experiment... tofu nachos. no, not ground tofu substituion for beef, but rather, tofu tortillas.

this may turn out really weird. maybe it's because i'm really NOT a cook that i'm trying this. or maybe it's been done and i'm not original after all. i just hope it's not inedible. i'm really sick of chicken and that's all else i have in the fridge. consulting expert cook doug for advice on seasonings.

spent a few days in montreal - too much fun i guess, cuz now i'm lying here confined to the futon with bronchitis/laryngitis and watching sandra bullock marathon on superstation, answering email, craving strawberries and cream icecream. have a show at the end of the week so hopefully will have voice back by then.... the bronchitis is getting better, now just need voice back!

think well, clear voiced thoughts!
