Quick weeknight dinners go here (shortcuts and prepared food tips welcomed)

Oh yeah, that's a great article!

I love bittman but-- what the hell is this?

Ketchup-braised tofu: Dredge large tofu cubes in flour. Brown in oil; remove from skillet and wipe skillet clean. Add a little more oil, then a tablespoon minced garlic; 30 seconds later, add one and a half cups ketchup and the tofu. Cook until sauce bubbles and tofu is hot.

It kind of make sense because ketchup is somewhat umami-rich.  But it's not something I'd want to make or eat.

last night we cubed up a pile of root veg (beets, carrots, parsnip) and peeled a head of garlic... tossed with olive oil, roasted at 375 until done... made a quick gremolata while the veg were roasting... served the veg topped with a 6-minute egg and the gremolata

another quick one:

leftovers okonomiyaki https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/okonomiyaki

we don't follow the recipe except for the batter (egg, flour, water) and cooking times... shred cabbage and whatever other veg feel right, leftover meat or roasted veg, or whatever is sitting around needing using... serve w/ mayo & sriracha, or w/ kimchi and topped w/sliced green onion and/or fresh herbs
