we call it love, but you might just think of it as an inability for others to be around us
Over Sesame Tofu Sunday night:
Me: Did you miss me today when I was at work?
Alex: Yes.
Me: How much?
Alex: (Spreads arms) This much.
Me: Prove it.
Alex: How?
Me: Did you smell my perfume bottle?
Alex (mumbling): Um, yes, I might have.
Me: Yipee! I always smell your cologne when I miss you; I knew we were perfect for each other.
Alex: I’m scared.
In bed, later on:
Me: Do you love me?
Alex: Yes.
Me: How much?
Alex: (Spreads arms) This much.
Me: Prove it.
Alex: How?
Me: Two carats worth?
Alex: You want hummus with those, right?
The following night:
Me: Sex?
Alex: But we already had it this month!
Me: Hee. I know, I was just feeling a little… um… wild. I know; let’s just have white wine instead of red with dinner. I don’t want to get too out of control.
Two nights ago:
Me: [Choke.] [Cough-cough-cough.] [Gag.]
Alex (from bathroom): Are you okay?
Me: [Cough.] [Gasp.] I [Cough.] .. just ... swallowed my water wrong! [Cough.] [Hack-Cough.]
Alex: Are you sure?!
Me (lungs on floor): Yeah, I'm fine...
Ten minutes later:
Me: What would you have done if I said I wasn’t okay? Run out here with your pants at your ankles and a floater in the toilet?
Alex: After that comment, no, I think I’d just leave you gasping for air.

I can't believe you people are letting me get away with saying 'floater'. C'mon now.

Deb,
if that is homemade sesame tofu, would you mind posting the recipe in your recipe section? BTW, a recipe section on a blog is as hottt as it gets. For real.

Sadly, I have not been able to emulate the delicious Sesame Tofu I always consume to the point of a bellyache at Empire Szechuan on the UWS.
However, I have developed out a really reliable, delicious peanut sesame sauce I often combine with cold buckwheat noodles, scallions, tofu, and cucumbers. I'll put it up soon, promise.
Be careful flirting with my cooking skills, people. A very long time ago, that's how Alex & I met.

Deb,
I think my ginger peanut sauce can go toe to toe with any peanut sauce that you can post. But, you're welcome to post it anyways. ;)

Why ... yes. It's fading, though. Sniffle.

nah, do the general tsao's tofu at hunan balcony. even better than empire - and they're next door neighbors.

Is it sad that in reading all your descriptions of your intimate emotional moments with a suitable gentleman that my only question is which Empire Szechuan? Must know now.
