I hope sylvia will be amused more than embarrassed to have her fickleness on public record - though I can understand her eating tofu in breadcrumbs and not eating fried marinated tofu skins<br /><br />Thanks Chucky - yes this is a great low fat alternative to the fried nuggets - and hope that you videoed yourself doing cartwheels to upload to youtube - ha ha<br /><br />Thanks C - E's eye recovered quicker than my cough but am on some antibiotics that should help - and yes is lovely when Sylvia eats dinner with us<br /><br />Thanks Lisa - my health is improving - I was amused by the sauce incident - even E was able to laugh about it once he had washed out his eye - hope you laughed about your cider too :-)<br /><br />Thanks Anh - this is a great fresh carrot salad - hope you love it too<br /><br />Thanks Chopin and mysaucepan - your sauce incident sounds another unfortunately one - sauce can have a mind of its own :-) and now I wish I had one of our little tins of baked beans on top of the tower - definitely a missed opportunity<br /><br />Thanks Kari - great dinner, amusing incident and annoying cold - must repeat the first, remember the second and get rid of the third :-)<br /><br />Thanks Lorraine - have seen the broccoli cake and am intrigued but had a bad experience with trying to bake broccoli into a cake just before I started blogging - must get back on that horse<br /><br />Thanks Mangocheeks - E is fine and I am much better - I suspect the sauce had been in my mum's pantry a while before it was given to E - in my experience sauce is either gone in the blink of an eye or sits around feeling miserable and unloved<br /><br />Thanks Joanne - yes I love the food vegan dad does for his kids (he should be an inspiration to E - if only) - definitely great for big kids too<br /><br />Thanks Caked Crusader - would be interested to hear how you like this - I would recommend a good sauce if you are not used to tofu - though really I would recommend a more marinated dish than this to start getting to know tofu (not everyone loves to eat tofu plain like Sylvia)<br /><br />Thanks Quince poacher - now you have me rushing off to check out the quiches - yes a gorgeous book to look at and great reading tooJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-81862342798629027892011-05-10T11:41:34.402+10:002011-05-10T11:41:34.402+10:00"Breakfast, Lunch and Tea" is such a bea..."Breakfast, Lunch and Tea" is such a beautiful cookbook.

I'm definitely with you on the baking idea, too - so much easier and less hands-on (and I don't have a little'un to worry about either!)<br /><br />I wonder if Sylvia will one day look back on these posts and giggle about her changeability towards certain foods, even in the space of a few days? :PHannahhttp://wayfaringchocolate.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-43407844311027742452011-05-08T22:42:30.985+10:002011-05-08T22:42:30.985+10:00Happy Mother's Day, Johanna. It sounds like yo...Happy Mother's Day, Johanna. It sounds like you had a lovely day:)<br /><br />I must admit, I didn't learn about squeezing the excess out of tofu until just recently. What a difference it makes when capturing flavors. I must absolutely try this whether Marion agrees or not. Perhaps, if I don't tell her what it is...I'm sure the corn flakes are a GREAT disguise:) <br /><br />The salad sounds good too. I'm off crunchy foods for a while myself (still recuperating from the dentist:) but I adore your combination. (less the lemon juice until the last minute, lol:)<br /><br />I love hearing about Sylvia. It sounds like she is grasping her world by all it has to offer and THAT is remarkable!!! <br /><br />Thank you so much for sharing...<br /><br />P.S. Thank goodness everyone was safe with the exploding bottle!!!~~louise~~https://www.blogger.com/profile/07335196139849995706noreply@blogger.com
