Tofu Tacos

Monday again. They just keep happening, don’t they? For lunch, I made some tofu tacos — I should get real flour or corn taco-sized tortillas, but I had to just use a lavash wrap cut in half today. A couple of months back, I made the best tofu taco, but they weren’t quite on the same level today. Of course, you can’t really go wrong with seasoned tofu and salty, garlic-y kale.
I also made a single-serve batch of broccoli slaw. When I bring broccoli home from the supermarket, I cut off the florets and keep them in a lidded glass storage container in the fridge. I’ve been chucking the stalks in the fridge too, thinking I’ll grate them up for slaw (seems a shame to waste such a large part of the veg), but I inevitably forget and then wind up tossing them out when they go a bit shriveled. Not so this week! I don’t have a recipe, but coleslaw is pretty forgiving if you’re planning on eating it right away, I find. A little bit of vinegar, a bigger bit of mayo (or Miracle Whip), a pinch of sugar and some salt and pepper. In addition to the grated broccoli stalk (which I peeled pre-grating), I tossed in some grated carrot and minced red onion.
It was warm today, although I didn’t get out much to enjoy it. I had Stuff To Do in the morning, and I felt so drained of energy in the afternoon that I HAD to have a short nap. It was a slightly disconcerting nap, actually — as I was trying to wake up, I either experienced sleep paralysis or DREAMT I had. The latter seems more likely, to be honest, because it was clear to me when I really woke up and was back to normal. But, then, Wikipedia says that it’s possible to ‘interpret the experience as a dream’ — and when has Wikipedia ever been wrong about something? I bet they have an entry about that, and I bet it says ‘never’.
Oh well. May you all have a nice night, with normal dreams about normal limbs.

    Ooh, horrid. Keep wiggling your toes. Also thanks for the lovely photo of my boy on your flickr feed. If I could have been bothered to find my username and sign in I would have left a comment saying ‘[bursts with pride]‘.

    Sleep paralysis is a wacky thing. I went through a brief period in law school where it happened to me with some (alarming) regularity. I’m not sure what triggered it. I do believe at least a few times it had a dream like quality to it.
    But seriously, if Wikipedia says it’s right, it must be right. =)

    Also, I really wanted to say this yesterday, but I forgot: May the Fourth Be With You.
    Hahaha. Never gets old.

    I have never even HEARD of sleep paralysis! It sounds like the most terrifying thing in all of creation! :-( Also, that taco looks delicious. Kale in a taco…genius.
