What's for Dinner, Fri., Feb. 23, 2024

Stir fry: baby bok choy, yellow crookneck squash, and scallions topped with orange glazed tofu cubes and cashews and little red peppers.

Side dish is miso broth.

I love tofu when it's glazed. In this case, I gave it a nice brown in the skillet with a combo of peanut oil and sesame oil. Then I put it in the oven on a sheet pan and added cashews. Put the orange glaze over all. Baked it at 350 until it got "sticky." I get the glaze from Aldi; they have all kinds of flavors.

Last night the buffet at the Russian ballet dancer lecture was so good! They had all kinds of Polish sausages and sauerkraut.

The best part was the dessert, though. Meringue filled with whipped cream and topped with raspberries and blueberries, decorated with fresh mint. There were different flavors with the whipped cream filling, too. Mine was apricot.

The talk was so interesting, too. The professor is a Russian immigrant who went to Bolshoi regularly during her years growing up. She showed pictures of it and it must have been such an experience. She actually got very emotional during one of the ballet videos, so I know the ballet must mean a lot to her. I also got to see many of my former teacher colleagues, and that was fun, too.
