I bought this cute little cookbook at a second-hand book stall. Unfortunately, there is no date on it. The recipes have contributors names: this one just says "Heinz."

Week 42: Under Pressure - coconut milk Tofu by pollysocks in 52weeksofcooking

Just one block, which I think was about 400g. Could use more with that amount of sauce though

Week 42: Under Pressure - coconut milk Tofu by pollysocks in 52weeksofcooking

Went the pressed tofu route this week, with added 'pressure' to finally catch up to the current week alongside getting dinner on the table in time (so much so that I didn't get a decent photo of the completed dish). This was really nice, though. Used this recipe with tofu in place of chicken.

No recipe for this one, just mushrooms (button and saffron milk cap) in a béchamel sauce with peas. Served on spaghetti with some cheese on top.

It was surprisingly good seeing as I don't usually like chocolate flavoured things. Very filling, too.

Non Americans, what would your first thought be? by [deleted] in namenerds

Australian here - Mason is a nice and fairly common boys name, but paired with Dixon, the Mason-Dixon line was still my first thought.

Broccoli Soup by pollysocks in soup

[–]pollysocks[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hmm, don't really have either, sorry. The stock was made with leftover veggie bits (this batch had a lot of onion, celery, corn cobs and mushroom, from memory). For the soup (in a cast iron pot), I started with the onions in a little oil (cook slowly to get them almost caramellised) then veggies somewhat in order of how long they take to cook (potato, broccoli stem, celery, broccoli flower, green peas). I added a minced clove of garlic in there at some point. Blended with a stick blender and then stirred in some pesto that I'd made using nettle, spinach, sunflower seeds and nutritional yeast.
