Just finished eating leftover Black Forest Ham from Christmas, on a Sourdough Sheppherd Bread, and steamed veggies.
Now, I'm having Chips - Rrrrruffles have Rrrrridges - with Onion Dip. Man, those things are addictive! :D Once you start, it's hard to stop! LOL :p
And, I'm eyeing the Queen Anne Cordial Cherries I got a few days ago.... mmmmm... maybe I'll have one, or two, today.

Sweet and Sour Tofu 'chicken' with vegetables.
Though the tofu wasn't made ourselves as we normally do, but we did prepare the sweet and sour sauce was along with the tofu into the 'chicken' . Veggies are left over from spring rolls the other day, cucumbers, carrots, bok choy, green onions and celery. The rice also has a mix of 'chicken' flavored textured soy protein. < I'm stuffed

Hey Aurora, You make your own spring rolls ? Those things sound good judging by the left overs. I don't know about the "Toficken" though. :D I had a frozen Boston Market Sirloin Beef and Mashed Potatoes thing for dinner, with warm buttered rolls. Don't think I'll have Eggnog for desert though. I had two 8 oz. glasses last night, and that is enough for now. coastie

Spring rolls are a lot easier to make then egg rolls just because you don't have to deep fry them. If you get some spring roll wrappers they are surprisingly easy to make all you have to do is soak the rather stiff circle in water and it becomes the sort of see through squishy stuff your use to seeing in a restaurant. Then you just add the filling you prepared maybe some spring roll sauce or sauce of choice and make sure you have some for dipping.
Certain styles of tofu chicken we make (we make a variety) taste exactly like chicken. As do a lot of veggie/vegan products out there if prepared correctly. The thing about tofu is people look at it as gooey tasteless blob.. as it is. The trick to tofu is that it is high protein and will absorb whatever flavors is around it. So you get the right combination of things you won't know the difference. If its prepared right.

Hey Aurora, Yeah those round things you soak is real thin rice and then you roll them up. Used to get them at a Vietnamese Restuarant with about 6 or 8 different bowls of stuff to dip them in. Man those things were good. Your choice of veggies to put in there was excellent. Got me hungry.

Yea, Vietnamese resteraunts are the most noted for having spring rolls. The great thing about buying the wrappers is that they are basically dehydrated so you can store them for a long time and they will still be good when using them. Unlike eggroll wrappers if you open the case you gotta use them in a certain time otherwise they will get freezer burn or just get stiff and go bad. They (the spring roll wrappers) are delicate but super easy to make.
