 I love food! I love eating, cooking, baking, watching it on tv and blogging about it. I love finding new recipes and trying it out. I'm a new vegetarian so I'm trying to find some fun food to eat with out eating meat. I recently bought some panko so I thought of using that to spice up my plain tofu. I literally just made this dish like an hour ago. i didn't read a recipe I just winged it and it worked. this is what I used
Soy Sauce
Extra firm tofu
Garlic Salt
Eggs
Panko 
Vegetable Oil
Yellow Squash
For the yellow squash: peel squash then cut squash in strips and let marinated with 1/2 cup of water, 1 tbs of soy sauce, and 1/2 tsp of garlic salt. let sit in the fridge for 30 mins. when done marinating. pour squash and soy sauce+water+garlic sauce mix in a oil pan. cook for about 4mins.
For tofu: cut tofu in think blocks (not to small or they crumble). dip tofu in beat ted eggs, coat with panko, fry evenly tell panko crumb are a golden brown, and eat.

Follow The White Rabbit?

A week ago I had a strange dream ( I always have strange dreams but this one stood out to me). In this dream I was in my 20 somethings I was busy doing well I'm not sure what i was doing but I was busy  until I notice a group a kids huddled together. I was really far from these kids it seemed like I was on the outside looking in. Even though I was so far I could tell what the kids were holding, a white rabbit. One little boy was holding the rabbit the wrong way putting the bunny in harm. I couldn't seen the little boy face only the back of him. I screamed "Hey". The children began to scattered, so i followed them. the little boy dropped the white rabbit and the rabbit started hopping around. I followed the white rabbit until the rabbit lead me to a huge classroom.A teacher came up to me and started asking me what took me so long, that the children are waiting for the lesson plan. I looked at the bottom of the floor and there was the white rabbit. I grabbed the white rabbit and walked up to the little boy ( I still couldn't see his face) . When I got closer to this little boy began to get more and more nervous. When the he finally should his face I smiled and he gave me a smile back. This little boy was my son! I handed him the white rabbit then I held him tight. I woke up shortly after, this dream seemed like it had a lot of symbolism so I looked it up. here are the interpretations from  dreammoods.com. white rabbit:symbolizes faithfulness in love. The white rabbit also serves as a guide to steer you toward the right direction. When a rabbit is hopping it  indicates fertility. You will be surrounded by children.To be a teacher: you are in a position of disseminating your knowledge and wisdom to others. watching children but they do not know you are there is a metaphor for some hidden knowledge or some latent talent which you have failed to recognize.To see your offspring in your dream, symbolizes an aspect of yourself that you are trying to nurture. The dream is telling you to take some time off so you can cater to the inner child within. I think its funny that my child look like the guy I'm talking to when he was younger. I also think funny that it's the year of the rabbit. Whatever the dream mean i think my subconscious mind is try to tell me something.
