I decided to hike up Mt Ellinor over the weekend. The views from the top was surreal - seeing the mist and cloud below us! I also witnessed some mountain goats, which are not typical in this region. Passing the goats on the trail was interesting. They are pretty strong, and you don’t want to accidentally aggravate a mountain goat next to their young ones!
I talked to a few folks on the trail who looked like they were working about the mountain goats.
I think I can eat tofu in peanut sauce by itself, without a starch. Mmmm, so delicious. :D
What’s the secret?
To make homemade tofu, check this out.
Get peanut sauce (or peanut+coconut sauce) from the store Heat some oil, and add some garlic, peanuts, chopped onions, cubed tofu and salt until the onions and tofu turn brown Add brocolli florets and sliced mushrooms Add peanut sauce and a bit of coconut cream (skip the coconut cream if you purchased peanut coconut sauce) Stir it all up and enjoy it hot, over brown rice :)
I crave for some good Indian food sometimes. The problem is there are way too many options! Today, I went with a classic - poha. It is mainly made out of beaten white rice with turmeric and other spices, and seasoned with mustard seeds and peanuts.
What’s the secret?
Soak some poha (you can get this at the Indian store) in water In the meantime, chop onions, tomatoes Heat some oil, and add some garlic, mustard seeds, curry leaves, peanuts, dried red chillies, chopped onions and salt until the onions are cooked.
The long weekend is here! Decided to drive to oregon and chill over the weekend with Shreyas.
Angel’s rest: Hike by the columbia river separating Oregon and Washington. Also, witnessed some burnt trees - it was quite eerie walking by the scene of dead, burnt trees. Did a wildfire take place recently? Most likely. Global warming, sigh. Drink lots of wine and be merry Eat vegan voodoo donuts and balance out the calories lost over the hike.
Who wants some lemon poppy seed muffins?! Turned out to be 100.
What’s the secret?
Just bought the package and followed the instructions on it - nothing special. xD
