Semi-successful dinner of tofu, noodles and broccoli. I didn't realize that I was out of spaghetti, but we had some ramen and a pack of mysterious noodles from Mom's house that I figured we could use instead. Well, the noodles were a small packet, plus several little seasoning packets, some of which were mysterious indeed---it would not have been nearly enough for Jason and me. Then the noodles, once opened, smelled off and would not seem to cook. The whole thing had to be jettisoned. Jason just ate some leftover orriechette instead and Carter and I had ramen. The tofu (marinated and roasted) was fine but bland, and the broccoli stir-fry suffered from an excess of cornstarch.
I wish I had taken a picture of the contents of the noodle packet, and that there had been any directions at all in English. I will always wonder what we missed...
The good news is that the leftover cake (a simple unfrosted number with almond flour and cardamom. I think the recipe came from Food52) was nice when warmed up a little and served with whipped cream.
