I have done nothing to change this recipe, nothing at all…it is perfect the way it is! You can also bake the tofu with a little corn starch sprinkled on it and it will give you a nice crispy mouth-feel. And don’t worry about the sugar on the fried tofu, it will work itself out, …
When I went to Italy I saw a man putting Nutella in a cup with warm milk. I tried it and liked it, but I overheard him bemoaning the fact that there was no real Italian Drinking Chocolate (IDC) on hand. I was thinking that IDC must be just like hot chocolate but with a …
Here is the recipe I was talking about in my previous post: It says: They cure any illness: mumps, cramps, head colds, flu, earache. We should know because Mom (her mom, my grandma) fixed these when we were sick. Serve with hot tea, per Aunt Jan (my aunt, her sister). So here it is, in …
