Yes, they might be in college and living on their own but they are still kids.
My child Garrett, and his roommates Layla, Bailey, Randy and now Austin, are going to have a dinner party this weekend to celebrate the new school year. Yes, there are five of them now. Austin just moved into a space the size of a closet as the fifth roomie.
So what is on the menu I asked? There are three Vampires, a Werewolf, and now Austin who is just a regular guy.
I had to ask, as a concerned parent, about Austin. Garrett said he was cool. His great great Uncle Bill is a Vampire so Austin is ok. Bill used to babysit him when he was a kid. He took Austin to Europe for a month after he graduated from high school. Austin knows Vampires.
Anyway, so what’s for dinner?
Tofu? Maybe. They’ll figure it out.
That is the wonderful thing about being nineteen is that you have to figure out almost everything, even though you think you know everything already.
But it is a good thing Mom is still there to answer any questions.

As a relative fledgling myself, I must hang my head in shame wondering if there’s a CORRECT answer. 😦
Dandelion wine goes quite well with tofu. The tofu tones down the bite of the wine. Pomegranate wine is another good choice for tofu as it sweetens up the blandness of the been curd.
Thanks! I’ll never eat it, but at least I know what wines go with it!
I don’t go for tofu either. So many other good things to eat.
Nice choices if you aren’t a teen. And tofu is fine is you fix it correctly and don’t try to make it into some disgusting psudo-meat.
Tofu’s okay in stir fry, but I’m not much of a tofuie type, and “Tofurkey” is an abomination (I don’t care much for turkey either). I think if 18 is old enough to vote, it should be old enough to drink wine. Maybe if 18 year olds could drink wine legally, they’d do better at turning out to vote!
Tofurkey is vile. We should all vote drunk this year, especially considering the choices we have.
Or drink. 😉
Like nice, strong black coffee! I drink water and black coffee, that’s it. I know I lead a dull life.
Yeah…I was talking about something with a bit more kick.
I gathered! But coffee is what I get my kicks with.
Sigh. I miss coffee.
OMG this is hilarious! Good reply, really.
Yes indeed.
Beer goes with tofu, silly child
It does. Good choice (when you’re closer to 21)
I thought everyone knows that some heavy Bordeaux goes with that kind of menu… because tofu is best when it’s swapped for a steak, just before serving. 😉 hehehehe
In defense of tofu – if you don’t try to make it into meat and fix it correctly it is lovely. As for the wine… I’m writing about a bunch of 18-19 year olds. Sure they live in their own house but they aren’t old enough to legally go out and buy wine.
As if being under-aged ever stopped anyone. Not an endorsement; just an observation.
I’m suddenly craving tempura tofu and sauce from the Thai place down the road. You are right, as long as you don’t try to disguise it as something else, it’s not bad when prepared properly.
Ohhhh I want to go there with you.
That’s right Juliette the drinking age is 2 in the states. Here it’s 18 so the meme got me for a moment. My biggest food/beverage question at 19 was what ration pack meal goes better with a choice of water, tea or coffee? 🙂 To this day I still like canned beans and franks.
Dang, that should be 21 not 2 Laurie. 😦
Laurie – now that sounds like growing up fast.
Being a soldier at 17 made one grow up fast Juliette. It was a man’s world and no room for little boys. I was in Vietnam at 19.
