Nutritional Yeast Tofu

Hey all,

I made nutritional yeast tofu tonight. Got the idea from one of the popular vegan restaurants here in Portland called, Sweet Here After.  Very good...you should check it out.

First of all if you know what nutritional yeast is at all, you would know that it is heavenly.  I love it.  I use it on popcorn, seasoning...it has a great flavor.

So this tofu was soaked in chicken broth or vegetable broth.

Then I squeezed out some liquid and breaded it with nutritional yeast.

Depending on how much you want to make..
1 cup of flour to -1/4 cup of Nutritional yeast...but agin this is your meal so feel free to use as much yeast as you want, but make sure you have enough flour to fry it.

If you feel adventurous feel free to add some water to this..just a bit and cake it on the tofu..then you can bake it.  Thats really up to you though.

Then you just fry it in a skillet with vegetable cooking oil.  Nothing to fancy because it takes away from the flavor.

Enjoy!

Life after seminary

So I've been done with school for a few months now and its october.  (As most of you know)  Whats strange is that as much as I love seminary and school, I don't really miss it.  However I do feel like I am getting stupider by not being in school.  I don't feel like I am learning much.  My life basically consists of working, eating, sleeping, and socializing.

I can understand why people don't feel the need for God...because quite honestly if I wasn't a christian I don't know how much I would ask the question, "What's the meaning of life?" THere really isn't any time to stop and think about it.  But what I have noticed is my lack of God.  I have to actively pursue God and actively mentally, emotionally, spiritually be aware of my walk with God.  That is strange.  In seminary it was great, I loved it.  I had this great network and we talked about theology, life with God, Christianity...basically all things Jesus.  Now that I am done with that...I don't have it anymore and I miss it.  I realize how many things have fallen off..I don't journal as consistently, I don't read as consistently and I don't spend time with God as consistently.  It really is a discipline..its not even a habit. Its a cognitive decision for me to wake up every morning and spend time with God.  Its hard.  Its hard but necessary.  I know it is.  I know what my day is like when I don't do it and I know what my day is like when I do do it.

I'm in a transition stage right now and I guess I'll have to figure out what my life will look like once I get to Taiwan.  I hope that I hear from all of you and expect some time of prayer later soon.
