I like your Freudian approach. I am comforted by the fact that you, such a committed foodie, occasionally commit acts of fast food trangression. Dane, I love the addition of sundried tomatoes to mac&cheese from the box! Is that thinking outside or inside the box? Jamie,

Dane,
I love the addition of sundried tomatoes to mac&cheese from the box! Is that thinking outside or inside the box?

I live on eggs and fried bread when I can't do anything else. Fried bread = toast, made in a pan, with too much olive oil or butter to be really justified. If I can pull it together long enough - macaroni and cheese, from the box (the white kind, not the nuclear orange kind), with sundried tomatoes and extra herbs thrown in for a kick. And lots of red pepper. Also, my in-the-weeds comfort drink of choice? Chocolate almond milk. Eggs. I live on eggs and fried bread when I can’t do anything else.

I'm sure you're exaggerating for dramatic effect. Your tofu balls can't have been that bad. You're a good cook and you're bigger than a bean curd. Maybe you're just resistant to tofu right now and that's why you're letting it go bad or nearly go bad on you. Here's a question: what does tofu represent? And it's not just because I'm dating a psychotherapist that I have managed to come up with such an insightful question. I had this thing for a while that I was letting ginger fester and go blue on me at the bottom of the fridge until I realized that it represented my desire to cook more asian food and recapture the amazingness of my years living in asia. The ginger wasn't just getting up and mincing itself into all kinds of Thai and Korean dishes, so I gave up and just stopped buying it. When I'm in the weeds, and I have never confessed this to anyone, I whip into Loblaws on my way home and make off with their pre-made sushi for $9.98 and I eat it in the car with my fingers as I drive home. So that being said, your attempt to cook at home, no matter how it turned out, is admirable at the very least. Come now. I’m sure you’re exaggerating for dramatic effect.
