I read this quote on the blog Hop, Skip, and a Giant Leap. I thought it would be great to keep it on my desk at work as a constant reminder never to give up on myself.
When I got home from work, I started on dinner right away. I made a frozen Pasta Medley from Trader Joe’s and added fresh cherry tomatoes. I decided to add some of Nasoya’s extra firm tofu cubes for protein. I also added pasta seasoning and fresh ground black pepper.
I added some feta cheese crumbles to my portion. I am SO happy with how this meal turned out. The tofu cubes tasted great, much better than the BBQ tofu I attempted. I think I did a better job of pressing the moisture out, plus extra firm has a better texture.
Jared chose a bottle of Zinfandel to go with our dinner.
We went to the 9:45 showing of Brief Interviews with Hideous Men at the Kendall Square Cinema. John Krasinski introduced the film and even answered a few questions before it started.

Does he see me? Nope, just some people wearing t-shirts from the summer camp he worked at.
So proud of his directing debut.
John had a real appreciation for David Foster Wallace and recommended we all read Wallace’s books asap.

Tofu cubes. Great idea. I have a coupon for a free Nasoya product and I’ve been picking up ideas from bloggers. I like the tofu cube idea! IT seems versatile.
