Last week I made the Mapo Tofu recipe from J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s The Wok.

I thought it was the best mapo tofu recipe I’ve tried. 4 stars ★★★★☆

First there was Trump's unnecessary paint job of the Reflecting Pool in Washington DC, to have the pool 'American Flag Blue'.

Then as soon als the water was let back in, algae exploded and the water turned green.

'Nobody knew' H2O2 is also a nice paint stripper. So now huge chunks of paint are floating around in the water that is still green, since H2O2 works only temporary.

You know, #TOFU. #Trump Only Fucks Up. Big time. https://www.forbes.com/sites/siladityaray/2026/06/19/blue-paint-seen-peeling-off-from-bottom-of-lincoln-memorial-reflecting-pool-photos/

#Dinner made using recipes from #Japanese kids #cookbook.

Today it’s fried rice and #tofu croquettes with green beans drizzled in soy sauce and sesame oil. It was a big hit. We followed it up with berry pancakes also from this book, but I didn’t even get a photo of those.

I borrowed this #book from the library but I think I might have to buy it.

I’m not sure all these recipes are fully authentic, but it doesn’t say ‘authentic Japanese’, it says ‘Japanese Cooking with kids’ and on that, it delivers. The balanced flavour profile of the Japanese cuisine is there and it teaches kids Japanese ideas about nutrition and plate makeup, while delivering recipes that are doable with ingredients that aren’t too hard to get and that aren’t too difficult for the Western kid (or husband) palate to accept.

Make my husband eat tofu without complaining, and you can sell me a cookbook.
