Yup, new buttons for those who got featured in Food Friday.
Finally, after more than a month since Featured in Food Friday started, I (at long last! LOL) sat down and made the buttons above. Would you believe I finished only two buttons in about eight hours? Well, the first two buttons were a disaster so I didn't count those. LOL. Plus, I also had to eat, warm some food, had food delivered, watched tv, and of course, play for a bit in FB.
Reasons...
Putting the buttons on your site is optional (the button will be directed to the Featured in Food Friday page). I just thought I'd make some buttons, and I think the end result turned out pretty cute. Of course...I'm supposed to say that. Hahaha.
Till then ...

This week's Food Friday post is something really simple: Tofu with Tomatoes and Peas
My mother never really liked tofu, so it was something that we never saw on our dining table. I only found out about it when I left home and started college; and when one of my sisters started buying it on a weekly basis, I got hooked. Am glad that my sons also like tofu (hubby's basically an all-meat-type of guy, lol, but he eats tofu every now and then) so now we have it at least once a week.
Ingredients were simple:
Here's what I did:
Taste-testing and adjusting. I actually wanted my dish to be a bit soupy (but not too much), so I added in more water. Chicken stock could be another option, but I didn't have it that time. Sesame oil (just a few drops) was added last. We just love the aroma of sesame oil... :)

| Being a relatively new blog (started March 2011), I believe "I Am A Cooking Show Fan" started out as just that: a foodie blog which will deal mostly with cooking shows. That Pad Thai (from My Thai) which she shared with us last week actually had me drooling...and made me want to get myself a plateful that day! lol. I encourage you to check out her site and have a look around...leave her some comment love, and maybe include a link (or two) to one of your favorite food shows! |

Ingredients were simple:

| Tomatoes, peas and marinated tofu |
- marinated tofu (around a half kilo block, which I sliced and marinated in soy sauce, smoked paprika, vinegar, and freshly ground black pepper)
- tomatoes
- cooked peas (canned)
- canola oil (for frying the tofu as well as for sautéing), salt, pepper, sesame oil
Here's what I did:
- Fried the sliced marinated tofu, then set them aside to cool before slicing them into strips.
- Removed some of the oil and sauteed the sliced tomatoes and then lowered the fire; I wanted the tomatoes to be really mushy so I continued cooking for about five more minutes. If it gets dry, you just add in a bit of water.
- Peas came next. Simmered for around three more minutes.
- Tofu (which were fried and sliced by now) were mixed in.

Weekday Potluck
*canon eos 550D with 50mm lens
A few weeks back we had a car accident. Nope, my sons and I weren't around that time...it was only hubby who was inside the car. It happened early evening, at around past seven. Or was it earlier? I wasn't too sure, but I do know that it was drizzling the whole day and the fog was really thick. Hubby was just dropping off some of his former classmates and he was heading home when the incident happened. I had a bad feeling when he left that night...and the dreaded call came.
We were relieved that nobody was hurt, but still, an accident is an accident. No automobile lifts were necessary, and only the vehicles were damaged. It was not hubby's fault and the owner of the other vehicle had to admit it was his fault and he will pay for the damages.
Know how much everything costs for the repairs? Roughly around Php80K.

I hope to get rid of those real soon...but am not holding my breath. :D
