Happy Birthday Bubby!

Today is my fur baby Mulder's third birthday! I can't believe it,I remember bringing him home like it was yesterday. Here is the big smile he had on his face this morning:

He smiles just like a human when he is happy! We went to the pet store and got him a HUGE tennis ball and some special treats:

And one for later:

As you can see they melted a little in the car in this 90 degree heat! Happy birthday Muldee-we love you so baby boy!

Mom and dad had some fried tofu "cheese" for dinner. We gobbled it up before I remembered to take a pic:

We were really hungry! Here is the recipe anyway:

• One brick extra firm tofu drained and pressed


• 2 T. lemon juice


• 3 T. vinegar


• 1 T. miso


• 1/2 t. salt


• 2 cloves garlic,smashed

Slice tofu into 8 "cutlets". Whisk together marinade ingredients ans marinate for at least 4 hours-the longer the better. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Mix together:

• 2 T. whole wheat flour


• 2 T. cornmeal


• 2 T. wheat germ

Dredge tofu slices in mixture and bake on an oiled cookie sheet for 20 mins. Flip and do another 10. Enjoy with your favorite marinara sauce.

It is really good! Tasted like fried mozzarella sticks. HEAVEN. Another little purchase from our travels:

We had some last night-it is creamy vanilla bean goodness. It is dense and luscious-I am a huge fan of Soy Decadent brand-but I may be a convert. It doesn't have that "icy" texture that soy ice creams do-I HIGHLY recommend it. I hope Ryan eats the rest-this stuff could be dangerous!
