Tonight we had my nephew join us for dinner so I did a die-hard vegetarian dinner. It’s a nice challenge because otherwise it’s too easy to slip into old habits.
The menu was:
Sweet and Sour Tofu
Bean Sprouts and Garlic
Steamed Rice
Chilled Cucumber Salad
All the other recipes are posted previously so I linked to them.

- 2 cloves of garlic, minced or pressed

Instructions
- Scoop the seeds out of the cucumber and slice. Put the slices in a bowl and sprinkle with the sugar and salt, mix, then chill for 30 minutes.
