Bowling, Lamp Base,

Well, well, well, our team actually took all the points at bowling today. Matt and I both bowled pretty well for a change. Long may it continue. I won't know our position in the league until Thursday as not everyone had finished bowling by the time we left.

Somewhat odd, I have a reading lamp by my chair and much to our surprise the base seems to have been weighted with concrete which has split in half. Half is still there but the rest fell out. Weird. I had no idea that the weight of the base included concrete. Anyway, we have to go to a lamp guy in the next town over. Only one in the area. He says he can fix it. Not sure how much this will cost of course. I do know he isn't cheap because we had something done by him before.

I love things like this and will almost certainly make it in the near future.

Tofu and Kimchi Stew

If gochujang hasn’t made it to your pantry yet, this stew recipe would also work with virtually any

miso.

1 Tbs vegetable oil
6 scallions, white and pale-green parts chopped, dark-green parts reserved
4 garlic cloves, sliced
1 1-inch piece ginger, peeled, finely chopped
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
3 Tbs gochujang (Korean hot pepper paste)
3 Tbs soy sauce
1 small daikon, peeled, sliced
½ cup kimchi
¼ block firm silken tofu

1. Heat oil in a large saucepan over high. Cook white and pale-green parts of scallions, garlic, and ginger, stirring often, until softened and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add broth, then whisk in gochujang and soy sauce. Add daikon and gently simmer until daikon is tender, 15–20 minutes.

2. Add kimchi and tofu. Simmer until tofu is heated through. Carefully divide among bowls. Thinly slice reserved scallion tops and scatter over.
