consider our priorities straightened.
Has it already been over a month since our last post? Wow. We did not plan to be posting so infrequently, but life has been busy for both of us and with what little free time we have, we’ve had trouble getting around to food blogging. But Ben and I gave ourselves a little pep talk tonight over dinner and promised we’d do a better job from now on.
The problem with going long periods of time between posts is the amount of pressure you feel to write something exceptional when you finally do sit down in front of the computer. Ben and I recently took a weekend trip down to Gyeongju, and I was hoping to photograph all the delicious things we ate out in the countryside and have our next post be one giant photo series. As it turns out, Gyeongju is not exactly known for good food. In fact, we hear now it’s better known for a lack of it. We certainly found this to be true, as most of our meals were barely memorable, let alone blogworthy.
Disappointed, I put off posting for another week…and then another and now, here we are. Pressure…
Tonight I decided that I’ve waited long enough. This post might not be epic, but it does include good food, which is really the only criteria we had when starting Something-Tasty. So here’s our quick and easy dinner from tonight: chili tofu and broccoli.
It’s a simple Sunday night meal that we threw together using ingredients from our fridge that were dangerously close to becoming inedible. The inspiration was found on this beautiful food blog (which found the recipe on this blog).
Toss some tofu with corn starch and fry up until golden brown. All some onions, a ton of garlic, and chili sauce (we doctored it with a little honey and lots of ginger). Towards the end of cooking, I added some broccoli and topped it all with sesame seeds. Done and done. A solid cure for the pre-Monday blues, and a little inspiration for the week ahead.
