Yay for Popsicle Molds!!!!


Good day everyone! I woke up so late today. I had a dream that I was eating barbecue chicken with my family. It was really weird. We were sitting at a picnic table and chowing down on drumsticks. When I woke up, I felt like it actually happened but was so thankful that it didn't!!!! Anyway, onto the important stuff. I got new popsicle molds in the mail yesterday!!! They are freakin beautiful. I ordered animal ones haha I got a bear, an elephant, a monkey, and a lion. The one in the picture is obviously the elephant. I used carrot-orange juice- Divine! The others are in the freezer and they are prune juice ones. Can't wait to try those. By the way, if you think I'm 5 years old, I am haha

As for food, I was really hungry on Thanksgiving afternoon and had no idea what to make. I didn't feel like looking at recipes, so I just made this up as I went along. It's just a simple tofu dish, but it was amazing. I am just OBSESSED with hoisin sauce. That shit is good. It makes everything taste good. I'm surprised I didn't have it with pumpkin pie.

Really Good Tofu

1 pkg of extra-firm tofu
2 T hoisin sauce
2 T soy sauce
1 T agave nectar
1 T worcheshire sauce
2 tsp sesame seeds

Directions: Drain the tofu, and cut into little cubes. Mix sauce ingredients in a large bowl and toss the tofu cubes in it. Make sure they are all covered. Put the tofu in a large skillet and saute on high for 10 minutes, or until crispy. I think my stove top just sucks so it might take you less time. Either way, it will taste good. I tried to burn mine a little because it just tastes so darn good that way.

I don't think you're five, I think you're fun! Food should always be fun, BOO for boring food! :)

Yummy tofu! I like mine a little bit burnt too, especially if it has teriyaki sauce!

Hahaha I thought your "elephant" was the chicken drumstick at first!

I love popsicle molds! You can freeze juice, flavored soymilks (chocolate!), and so much more!

Ok, it took me almost an entire minute to see what animal that 'popsicle' was (we British simpletons just call 'em ice lollies!). It's a heffalump with it's trunk in the air though, right? >;o)
And re your dream, I had one recently where I ate a chicken kiev and then totally denied it. I was horrified when I woke up!! :o(

Haha, thank you!

I haven't seen the movie yet, just read the books. They're excellent though, I definitely recommend them.

And, by the way, the little popsicle thing looks adorable; I wish we had animal molds too.

Elizabeth said...

Hahhaha. The mold is so cute. Who would have thought? :)

Emily said...

Mmm, hoisin. Your tofu sounds good. I think I would like it a little burnt, too.

I think BBQ chicken sounds good also. Interesting dream...

brooke said...

i love hoisin sauce!!! i agree, it is good on anything :)

Michelle said...

Awesome popsicle mold Jo! Hey that tofu recipe reminds me of one I used to grow up with. It's like a tofu scramble with soy sauce, vegetables, tofu (of course), egg (not sure if you eat egg) and sugar. It's really very good!

Elizabeth said...

By the way -- how did your double the recipe stuffing turn out??

I so with you on the hoisin sauce, it goes with anything. What about a hoisin pumpkin pie... I think that could work :)
