African Groundnut Soup & Ginger-Baked Tofu

With being eight and a half months pregnant, and hugely so at that, I have very few spoons, and use them up quickly in any activity that involves standing or walking.

I hope you got back a few spoons by eating it. Will be thinking good thoughts for you over the next several weeks.

That sounds positively delicious.

I liked that article, glad you linked to it.

A lot of the recipes are pretty labor- and time-intensive, but so far they give wonderful results, and it's worth it, especially if you make lots and eat it for days. I cut corners in one way on this one: I didn't "peel & seed" the tomatoes, an instruction which strikes me as enormously pointless ( ... )
