Welp, I went into my sweet local Japanese food store one day, and they had frozen calamari.

And I bought it.

And I used half of it in this pasta.

It was amazing.

Scared of frozen seafood? Get over it. Most of the stuff you eat in restaurants is previously frozen, and lots of sushi, even in coastal restaurants, is flash frozen and flown in from somewhere lovely.

Move on with your world. Freezing is a nice method of preserving things when done correctly!

You’ve seen this.

I’m sorry for being lame.

I can’t help it, though. The Pinteresters love it!

Each day I’m really surprised at how many of you are digging this non-recipe, so I wanted to post it again in case you haven’t tried it yet.

I make it all the time, and the killer, for me, is the BURNED SOY SAUCE TASTE.

That’s right. It’s right up there with burned cheese, in my book.

Yeah.

Tomato Chips.

I’m a crazy person.

I’m not sorry, though!

This is this new thing I’m doing….roasting tomatoes at a high temperature in slices so they dry out and get kind of crunchy.

IT’S SO FREAKING GOOD.

Then you add gooey cheese and a burger? Done and done.

I’m putting this under the entertaining category, because this is dang good, kids.

It’s also easy – easy enough for a weeknight!

It’s also vegetarian, which apparently is good for our bodies and the earth and our wallets.

Whatever. I love me some beef, but we all know that I’m a big tofu girl too!

I love Cajun-esque food, and this is a recipe my mom made all the time growing up.

I freakin’ loved it.

I still do! The beauty of it is that you’re not dealing with tons of seafood and sausage, you can use any fresh or frozen veggies you’d like, and you still get the salty/briny taste from Cajun seasoning and the canned tuna.

It’s perfect. And cheap. And easy!

Happy Friday!

We are addressing 2,000 envelopes and preparing to move offices at work today.

So, we’re bored, is what I’m trying to say.

Remember when we made those mushrooms a few days ago and talked about how nice it is to make restaurant-ish food at home?

Well, this is another great idea for a steakhouse-style meal – but with tofu instead of steak!

I like that.

Also, there are four ingredients. FOUR. You’re welcome.

It’s delicious. Here we go!

Yo.

Remember how a long time ago I used to harp all the time about how you just really really REALLY need to make roasted tomatoes for every single event in your life because they’re delicious and it’s a nice way to give people good food while making them like you?

Anyway.

If you did that, good!

If not, I warned you…it’s the fastest way to admiration.

And, it’s easy and totally not admiration-worthy.

BUT….
