Cooking Tofu

It tasted a little like eggs, a little like fish and a little like chicken. One thing's for sure it was packed with protein. For the first time I cooked tofu. That bland, misunderstood food that takes on the flavor of whatever it's cooked with. I fried it up in a pan with olive oil and a spicy soy dog and it was delicious.

The proof is in the numbers: pH, blood sugar and pressure all continue to be excellent on this new alkaline diet that's 80 percent fresh vegetables. I'm going to give it a few more days but I'm on the verge of throwing away all my medications. I've gone from 3 scripts down to 1 and the last one may be going soon. That tofu was really filling too.

Of course the day wasn't complete without a sunrise run around the lake at Sunset Park. Today I had the irony of helping my former employer the Las Vegas Hilton  come back from a system failure. First they called to say some terminals were down and the others were running slow. Then, more panicked, they called to say they were all down and they couldn't write any tickets. As I was dialing into their system to see what the problem was my former boss called in a major fit wanting to know who was working on his problem besides me to bring his book back to business. It's funny how the tables had turned. But with a little help with my new friends at CBS we had the Hilton back up and running again in less time than it takes to say "Sayonara Sucker."
