Tofu Florentine

this is what happens when your housemate cooks, some days. he might get a little carried away and decide to put together a dish so decadent-tasting that every bite's savored (and yet, containing so many good things that you can't feel totally guilty). this meal was that way. home fries combined with peppers and onions form the base for a blanket of just-wilted spinach, topped by marinated, braised tofu, chunks of tomato, and all topped with a cheesy golden sauce. finish with red velvet cupcakes (with their cream cheese icing and pecan decoration) and Arsenic and Old Spice (er, Lace) on dvd.

Veganomicon, all of it. yep, all vegan, and all unbelievably delicious. each component was not terribly complex - maybe the worst was the sauce, which was one of those things that calls for years of whisking.
