Excellent Bowl

If you looked into the meat and potatoes type meal, you'd find hundreds of ethnic variations. I decided I'd make my own. It was kind of a bizzaro Shepard's Pie. On the bottom is mashed potatoes with garlic and cheese with peas mashed into them. Then I diced up some onion and cooked it with this ground beef style tofu I had. I put all the potatoes into the bowl and then hollowed out a little space for the meat and onion and then topped it with tonkatsu sauce. I was gonna use steak sauce but I figured the tonkatsu would give it an interesting fruity kick. It was an excellent combo. Definitely filling. After one bowl I felt like I couldn't move. Exactly what I needed on one of my nights off.

Spicy + Chocolate. I don't know why I am thinking about you right now.

Mexican Chocolate Tofu Pudding. Can be adapted as mexican hot chocolate (with soy milk)! The one at Raymond's is the best, with a homemade (cubic) marshmallow in it.

Ask Ben about his green tea chocolate tofu pudding. If you want.

I made these Chile Brownies for a Superbowl party. They were too spicy! But it is fun to watch people's faces when they eat something that they didn't anticipate having a kick.

I'd say if you are going to do a spicy chocolate thing, and you can't get your hands on chile powder (milder than chili powder), go chipotle but don't use too much. It has a smoky flavor that complements the chocolate. I'm putting it in everything these days. Tomato sauce even.
