Miscellany

I've been needing to catch up on a couple of fun things.  The first is my recipe for the week.  It's a side dish--though it's all I had for dinner...like 4 servings of it!.  The second is an award that I was given a couple of weeks ago (I've just been too busy to post about it).

Tomato, Cucumber, and Tofu Salad:
Makes 10 servings

This is a really tasty and simple recipe.  I'd recommend it be consumed the same day, as both the tomatoes and cucumbers lose liquid over time--and the dish gets really watery. 

Ingredients:
2 containers Lift Extra Firm Tofu, drained and chopped into chunks
3 large red ripe tomatoes, chopped
1 large english cucumber, chopped
2 cups thawed frozen peas
1 package dill
1 small container Fage 2% plain Greek Yogurt
2 tbsp lemon juice
Salt & Pepper to taste

Instructions:
Drain and press the tofu, then chop and add to bowl
Add chopped tomatoes and cucumbers to bowl
Puree thawed Peas, Greek Yogurt, Dill, Lemon Juice, and salt/pepper
Pour blended mixture onto other ingredients & stir

What would you change about your life?
Honestly, this question always get me.  Yes, there are things I wish I did differently, btu I firmly believe that every choice I made and every path I took made me who I am.  I have a wonderful wife, I'm living a healthy(ish) lifestyle, and am part of a wonderful family.  Who knows where or who I'd be without all of my life's experiences?  So no, I don't think I'd change anything...
