That looks awesome.

Fuck.

Being published is a big deal. Gratz.

In almost ten years at my company, I have only ever gotten one bad review – one! out of almost twenty! – from a person who was my manager for all of two months. It was from someone who not only didn’t understand what my job was, but who regularly gave conflicting instructions in the same day, would ignore when I pointed this out to her, and then wondered why I couldn’t do both of these things that were in direct opposition to one another. This manager then proceeded to be mean to me for the next two years straight, all the way up until I moved to a different subdivision, and still tries to pull my current boss into almost everything I work on that she’s involved in.

Today she was forced to acknowledge that my work is fast, thoughtful, and high quality despite being related to a request that is urgent, complex, and so confusing to convey to our audience that we need spreadsheets of who gets what messaging, when, and from whom.

And she had to say the nice thing in front of an entire committee.

Including my boss.

Resurrecting to share something I’ve been making pretty frequently because it’s really tasty and is a quick way to get my protein even on the fly (i double batch it) or to toss into a salad or whatever if i’m having to make a lunch for work last minute). I love all things smoky/burnt-ish, plus these things are nice and chewy too (also a lovely texture for me). I thought i’d share! the partner and kids tend to steal these too when they’re right out of the oven. Plus it’s easy and takes minutes to prep and just 20 minutes to bake.

Tofu Crumbles

About 400g Tofu (firm or extra firm, pressed so excess water is removed, I don’t bother pressing if it’s fresh/not packaged in water)
2 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
1 tsp sea salt
2 tsp liquid smoke
1 Tbsp oil of choice (i prefer avocado or sunflower for this one), or oil spray of choice.

Preheat oven to 400F

Combine all dry spices in small bowl and mix well.

Crumble the tofu into a large mixing bowl, crumb sizes should be chunky breadcrumb (stuffing?) sized but i like to have some bigger chunks in there too and the teeny ones get all nice and crunchy so it’s fine.

Put the spice mix in with the tofu and toss until everything is coated evenly. then pour in liquid smoke and toss again.

Spray a baking tray well with the oil spray or spread the oil in the pan. Put pan in the oven at temp for a couple of minutes until it starts to smoke a bit (around 5 minutes but if you’re using spray might wanna watch this closely).

Pull out tray and dump the crumbles on it, spread them evenly and return to oven for 20 minutes, stir about halfway through.

Once they’re done if you let them cool for about 5-10 minutes they get even crispier! I think they’re great over the next few days (store in fridge) but they don’t really last at my house more than one extra day.

I love Frieren so much ❤

@Selira I disagree.

This is a constant battle for me, so I figured other people might benefit from a reminder, too.

I am so happy that there was a net positive gain from my suffering and I’m not even being sarcastic 😊

I use password managers because ‘lazy’ is my fundamental personality trait.

Psh, if you were really lazy you’d use the same password for everything.

I’m crossing my fingers for you!!! He looks like a DELIGHT!!!

I hate when I can’t tell if I’m sick or not. I think I have a chills situation going on right now, amongst other fun, but all I’ve got to go on is “I feel different,” and not in a bad way. It’s like my body’s equilibrium is off and I’m sensing that, except I have no idea which way the scale is tilting.

lo there, do I see my lady, come come my lady

I feel like we need a list for everything and explanations. Release the truth about cats. ❤
