I thought I would know
if four walls could hold me.
I wanted to see
if fire would burn me.

Last night I hung out with Susannah, which was fun. We played on our laptops: I poking the Interweb and she installing OS X. We also put together a tasty dinner, noted below. I definitely agree with her: OS X's installer is poorly designed. If you want to do anything else but the standard install onto one partition, you have to know substantially more than you'd expect or "call your systems administrator". That's one thing I love about most open source software: they never say "call your systems administrator" as they tend to assume that you are the systems administrator.

Cole once made this recipe for my family, and I had always wanted to try my hand at it. It's very tasty and so simple I wonder why I'm even bothering to consider it a recipe.

Spicy Marinated Tempeh

Ingredients

• 1 package of soy tempeh (I used Lightlife's organic soy tempeh)
• ¾ cup - 1 cup soy sauce
• 2-3 tbsp. minced garlic (to taste)
• 1-2 tbsp. chili powder (to taste)

Procedure

1. Make the marinade (soy sauce, garlic, chili powder) in a deep bowl.
2. Dice the tempeh and place in marinade for 10-15 minutes. Make sure to occasionally spoon some marinade over the tempeh or stir so the tempeh gets throughly flavoured.
3. Saute with a bit of vegetable oil until golden brown
4. Serve over rice [non-exclusive 'or'] vegetables, optionally using any remaining marinade to season
5. Serves 2 people

I should start posting more things I cook here; mainly to inspire myself to cook more often. I really love cooking: it's like compiling for your food! *goes off to poke at fire*
