Ah, Breakfast for Dinner! We're big fans...your french toast looks positively scrumptious!

I think being in love makes cooking even more exciting and satisfying. From the looks of your creativity and the tastes you build (now I know from first had-experience) you are definately a smitten kitten.

Thanks, Monica! As requested, here is the recipe:

For the salad

firm tofu (the freshest you can find)
10 or so shrimp, sliced down the back
1 julienned yellow pepper
1 julienned red pepper
6 or so sprigs of cilantro
scallions sliced on the diagonal (light green & dark green only)
juice of 1 lime
optional: jalepenos, avocado, jicama

Dressing: (these are all approximate)

2 big spoonfuls of white miso paste
1 clove of garlic minced on microplane
3 tblsp of rice wine vinegar
canola oil
honey
water
sesame oil (garnish)

Cube the tofu and put back in the fridge. Poach the shrimp in gently simmering water w/ the juice of 1 lime. Poach just until the white backs of the shrimp are opaque. Put in a bowl and squeeze any remaining lime juice over it and stick it in the fridge. Mix all remaining salad ingredients and put in the fridge.

For the dressing: Blend the first 3 ingredients together. Add as much oil as needed to emulsify (maybe a little less than half a cup). Add water by the tablespoonfuls to thin out to desired consistency. Add honey by the squirt to the desired sweetness/sour balance.

Assemble: Stack the tofu. Mix the vegetables and shrimp and place beside tofu. Drizzle salad dressing and add a few drops of sesame oil.

Being the native Southerner that I am, I really like the Y'all thing, as this phrase was heard often around mealtimes when I was a child.

Your blog is simply delicious!

Yes, I was the first to take close up pictures of our food and, yes, you made fun of me each time I did it. I want 15% of every penny made off this blog! Or, at least change the name to "Mookie's Let's Eat Y'all blog."
