I forgot to add that on my Uwajimaya shopping trip one of the things on my list was to check out some Japanese mandolines. My salad book said in an Asian store they only cost about $15. So I made a beeline for the wonderful kitchen appliance section (where I could have spent hours browsing). I found only one mandoline and it was $40, not $15, so I didn't throw it in the cart. BUT then I saw a julienne peeler for only $6! I'd never seen one before, and I thought it was a great idea for my salads. So I plunked it into the cart and I can't wait to try it out.On another note, I thought it would be a fun project for Amirah to grow various varieties of sprouts for our salads. You can sprout just about anything. I have a couple of books waiting for us at the library, so hopefully next week we can start a little indoor sprout garden. It's 1:30, and I still have no idea what all I'm cooking for shabbos, so I'd better get kicking. I have a vague notion of brisket, homemade french fries (Amirah's request), and all those yummy veggies I got at Uwajimaya. And sushi for lunch. We'll see what it ends up as!
As I was typing this I suddenly remembered that the blueberry cobbler was still in the oven, the timer had gone off, I had turned off the timer, and I had NOT taken the cobbler out! I raced over, and even though I'm sure it was in there for an extra 30 minutes (!) it was only a nice light brown color. I guess Hashem watches over blueberry cobblers too...

did the tofu have a hechsur?
that is, we don't know any of the heckshurs for products from any Asian country . . . and always miss out on many yummy tofu products, so I wondered if you know a reliable Japanese hekshur.
Actually, most tofu is made in the US, with your usual familiar hechschers. :) And more than half the brands are kosher.
