Tofu Mayo

Many of the tofu mayo recipes I looked at were very similar. I'm not good at measuring (I dump, pour, squirt and pinch instead of using measuring spoons), so I tried to guesstimate what I used for this recipe. It was somewhat lemony, but I thought it was good. If it's too much, you can always add less. A little sriacha would definitely add a little heat. That's what I did to the tuna salad I made and it was yummy.

Ingredients (makes about 8 ounces):

• 1/2 block morinu tofu (6 ounces)
• 1/8-1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 teaspoon mustard (I used Annie's dijon)
• 1/2-1 teaspoon agave nectar
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• 1/2 super small lemon (1-1 1/2 tbs juice, not the whole lemon;))
• 1/2-3/4 teaspoon salt 

Directions:
Put all items in your blender or food processor and blend until super smooth. I have the small container (48 ounces) for my Vitamix and this was almost too little of an amount for blending I think because of the consistency but it still blended like a dream. Obviously store in the refrigerator and use relatively quickly and if it smells weird or starts growing things, don't eat it.

Tapioca Pudding

The recipe on the back of the tapioca package was gross. It required folding in beaten egg whites and the final result was off. I combined several steps in several recipes and this one turned out pretty good.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup small dried tapioca pearls (soak for an hour or two in water, pour off excess water)
• 4 cups whole milk
• 1 cup cream
• 5 egg yolks
• 2/3 cup of sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1-2 teaspoons vanilla extract, depending on taste

Directions:
Combine milk, cream, egg yolks, sugar, salt and vanilla in a pan. Slowly whisk in tapioca and slowly bring to a boil over medium heat. This should take about 10-15 minutes. Stir often to prevent burning. Once the mixture thickens, cook for about 5-10 more minutes. Turn the heat off and cover for about 20 more minutes to complete cooking. Once this mixture setup in the fridge, it was very very thick. I like tapioca pudding and a thick or thin mixture is fine with me. That being said, my sister-in-law, who doesn't like tapioca pudding, liked this because the tapioca ball texture was disguised by the thick pudding texture. If you like it runnier, by all means try adding more milk. Enjoy!

-I added a couple super dark chocolate squares to a small portion of the tapioca pudding to make chocolate tapioca, and it turned out really good. I recommend this if you like chocolate. I think I liked it better than the regular tapioca pudding.

Wacky Wahoo's- Aruba

If you find yourself in Aruba and like seafood...go to this place. All the reviews say that reservations are necessary, but I was by myself and went without a reservation and was seated right away. Seating is very limited and the place was full, so I would recommend a reservation if you are not traveling solo. Both items were great, but the vegetables were bleh, and left more to be desired. It's pretty close to the top of the list on Trip Advisor, and I would have to agree.
