Tofu Tahini Spread
Based on a recipe from Moosewood Restaurant Cooks at Home by the Moosewood Collective.
Makes 2 cups.
- 1 cake firm tofu (3/4 pound)
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 1 tablespoon miso (I use light)
- 1-2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 2 scallions, minced
- 1 carrot, grated
- ground black pepper to taste
Using a potato masher or food processor, mix the tofu with the tahini, miso, and 1 teaspoon of the soy sauce until well blended. Stir the scallions and carrots into the tofu mixture. Add black pepper and more soy sauce to taste.

stances being what they were, neither admission could be of any benefit.
Silence, though, could. It was in the days of the rains that their prayers
went up, not from the fingering of knotted prayer cords or the spinning of
prayer wheels, but from the great pray-machine in the monastery of Ratri,
goddess of the Night. The high-frequency prayers were directed upward through
the atmosphere and out beyond it, passing into that golden cloud called the
Bridge of the Gods, which circles the entire world, is seen as a bronze
rainbow at night and is the place where the red sun becomes orange at midday.
Some of the monks doubted the orthodoxy of this prayer technique...
