Dreaming of Soupie and the Yummy making Boy....

Not so long ago me and my Man had dinner with some friends! For lack of permission, I will call them Soupie and the Boy who made the Yummies. They made fried tofu with roasted red peppers and lightly dressed greenbeans.
I have daydreamed about the tofu ever since.
My version is not quite what they served. I mixed flour, seseme seeds, cumin, ginger and salt together. Tried to get as much of the water out of the tofu as possible (the Boy who made the Yummies was quite good at getting the water out of the tofu, his tofu was dry as a bone on a Utah desert). I then breaded the tofu, and fried them in canola oil with a tad of sesame oil. I am making a salad to go with.
Yummy!

This week the Crook Club got together. We call it that because it is a combination CRaft and bOOK Club.
We worked on decoupaged lanterns. Mine is not complete. I would like to do more collage before I paint that little mama.
The trick about decoupaging inside the glass lamp is that you cannot leave any bubbles and must press as much glue out from under the image as possible. It gets tricky if you use thinner papers too, though it is not impossble. It take patience, as most good things do.
You also need to be careful about leaving glue on the glass, all of it must come off before the final step, which is painting the inside of the lamp with a solid layer of paint.
So neatness is key!
