Crispy Tofu

Crispy Tofu

     I am going to change what you think about tofu.  It can be an extraordinary food that leaves you wanting more!  

1 package organic extra firm tofu, sliced in half lengthwise, and pressed to remove the water

3-4 TBSP sesame oil

2 TBSP Tamari sauce

2 tsp nutritional yeast

     Cut the tofu into little rectangles while heating the sesame oil in a large frying pan.   Gently place the tofu in the oil and cook each side until browned.  When all sides are browned, add the Tamari sauce and cook for one minute.  Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel lined dish.  Sprinkle the nutritional yeast on each side of the slightly cooled pieces of tofu and enjoy!  Tofu cooked in this way is a great snack in lunches or presented as an appetizer. 

A Prayer among Friends

by John Daniel

Among other wonders of our lives, we are alive

with one another, we walk here

in the light of this unlikely world

that isn't ours for long.

May we spend generously

the time we are given.

May we enact our responsibilities

as thoroughly as we enjoy

our pleasures.  May we see with clarity,

may we seek a vision

that serves all beings, may we honor

the mystery surpassing our sight,

and may we hold in our hands

the gift of good work

and bear it forth whole, as we

were borne forth by a power we praise

to this one Earth, the homeland of all we love.
