Someone brought in baklava that looked incredible! I've never liked honey, and most baklava I've had has been just too sweet, but I have had it where it was spiced with cardomom and had the crunch of pistachios and sooo good. This one looked good and all I could think was how good it would be with maple syrup instead!
there are so many different recipes--from grilling, deep frying, and simmering in broth then baking! Some simple, others complex....Because nobody makes it around here anymore, I'm almost always craving tofu dengaku (豆腐田楽). It's tofu grilled/baked/boiled with miso paste and other spices, usually on a stick. A local restaurant once made it fantastically, but they closed. Alas. No new restaurant has it on the menu. I could try to make it myself. But, well, I just haven't yet.
This dish looks like this (from a Japanese website):

I would blend a tablespoon or two of tofutti cream cheese and a little bit of sour cream with sweetener of choice. Too it wit the cherries.Something with the can of cherry pie filling in the cabinet. No ideas, but I'd be ok just eating with a spoon
If I opened it I could put a couple Tblsp on overnight oats![]()
