8/14: new recipes

Chris and I are vegetarians rather than vegans but we try to minimize dairy products, so when my brother recommended the Incredibly Delicious cookbook, we thought we'd try it out. Today we made oat cheese (yes, "cheese" made with ground oats) and tofu "tuna" salad. The jury is still out on the oat cheese--it seems good as a dip and spread but not necessarily in a cheesy sort of way. The "tuna" salad turned out well and is an especially welcome addition to our recipe repertoire since Chris liked tuna salad a lot back in the day. I felt a little bit of victory in actually making something with tofu; I'm always glad to have it in a restaurant, but I've been a little trepidatious about working with it in the kitchen myself.
