PS3, Recipe, Work

hey all,

It looks like my best option is to buy another PS3 here in Japan, transfer my data from one to the other, and then sell the broken one to a recycle shop. I might get around to that in a couple weeks.

For those interested, I finally made a dairy free tiramisu that I don't consider a failure, so here is the recipe.

300 g soft tofu
3 tbs. non-diary powdered coffee creamer
3 tbs. beet sugar (white is fine too)
2 g gelatin
120 cc soy milk
2 tps. lemon juice
1 cup strong coffee
2 tbs. Cointreau
cocoa powder
about 24 lady fingers

1. break up the tofu in a bowl and microwave on low for 3-4 minutes.
2. separate tofu from the water in the bowl, and scoop the tofu into a blender or food processor.
3. add 1/2 the soy milk, and all the sugar and creamer to the food processor.
4. Mix the coffee and Cointreau together in a wide shallow bowl, and add 1 tbs to the tofu mixture.
5. blend the tofu mixture.
6. heat the other half of the soy milk on low in the microwave. make sure it doesn't get too hot, or it will separate.
7. add the gelatin, and stir to dissolve.
8. add the soy milk and lemon juice to the tofu mixture, and blend.
9. dip the lady fingers in the C/C mixture for about 3-5 seconds, and line the bottom of a pan (about 4 in X 8 in seems to work well) with them
10. pour half the tofu mixture on top of the lady fingers, and sprinkle with cocoa powder.
11. dip more lady fingers and cover the tofu as above.
12. pour the second half of the tofu mixture on top, and again sprinkle with cocoa powder.
13. refrigerate for at least 2 hours, then enjoy.

I finally finished my last 6 day work week. That's all for now.

Cheers,
