Hello my Dearest Foodies,
When I picked nectarines at the supermarket, I knew they are not going to be very sweet and juicy at this time of year, but I needed them for photoshoot, so I though I just used them for smoothie after. However, I changed my mind and I made sweet and spicy Thai sauce instead. It turned out absolutely delicious, I just had to add some Maple Syrup, because those nectarines were really tasteless, lol. Nevertheless, this sauce is a very handy recipe to have when you don't know what to do with tasteless fruit that you accidentally buy, lol. It could be even peaches, apricots, mango, cantaloupe or papaya.
Also, I would like to suggest you to try these mung bean vermicelli, if you haven't done so yet. They are really delicious; Well it's not so much the taste, but the glossy texture that I like.

Well, if I remember correctly, tofu doesn't have much taste so you have to flavor it with something everytime right? Or does it just take on the flavor of whatever is around it? Sort of like people. If you hang out with outlaws then you're going to start acting like one. so choose your friends carefully Miss Lena! lol.
I would get a good dog for a friend.

Well even meat doesn't have much flavor when you think about it. But yes you can add seasoning to it and also it does pick up the flavor from everything else. I just remember that you don't eat tofu for some reason. Lots of people believe that tofu is not healthy do to false advertising.

Howdy tonight Miss Lena! how are you today? What's going on with you? As far as meat, the meat I cook has flavor, especially if it's smoked BBQ.
As far as tofu, I just haven't eaten it for a long time, I don't eat it now just because we don't have any. I don't remember seeing it in the stores, I need to go find it!

Well tofu would have smoke flavor on BBQ too, lol. I also add liquid smoke flavor sometimes when I make tofu. But try boiling meat in the water with nothing added and see how it will taste, lol.
Anyway, I am well, thank you for asking; just did a laundry and replying to all comments from this week. I will catch up with you as well, if not tonight, than tomorrow. I have to comment also on some other posts besides yours you know, lol. How are you?

So true Lena. Our sub-tropical climate produces a great variety of fruit and I always look forward to the stone fruit season. And of course, it is always a pleasure to lend my support for your wonderful blogs.
