I have been vegetarian for 15 years this June and I am only now learning how to cook tempeh thanks to Isa Chandra Moskowiz in her lovely cookbooks and blogs. I am convinced that she is the tempeh master and I am only a small grasshopper in her shadow. Thanks to the link that I posted here I learned how to make some yummy BBQ tempeh. I cheated and used BBQ sauce that I had in the fridge rather than making my own as I happened to have some on hand. And I also didnt bake the sweet potatoes with the tempeh but made them into mashed potatoes. Yum.  Here are some pictures of my experiment with tempeh.

I had to buy leeks last payday for a casserole and I have never bought them before so I ended up walking out of the grocery store with bok choy instead. But I really like bok choy so I made a bok choy tofu stir fry out if them and served it over white rice. Pretty tasty!

Tomorrow is Ekadasi so expect a post soon of tomorrows Ekadasi goodies. I have been listening to a lot of new wave and new romantics music lately so keeping with the devotional tone of my food blog I am going to share the music video of Boy George’s Bow Down Mister with you.
