Dinner 10/22Tofu Paprikash over Pumpkin Noodles
Roasted Butternut Squash Soup with Toasted Seeds (additional pic)

Dessert
Chocolate Espresso Spelt Cake (additional pic)
(from Gourmet October 2005)
a very tasty cake -- and a bonus, we used spelt flour ;)
for the cake we subbed 1/2 box of soft tofu for the 2 eggs, and unsalted soy margarine for the unsalted butter. The topping was from the ganache a few weeks ago, as we had plenty of leftover, so we froze it to see how it would hold up. We stuffed into a pastry bag and piped it on top with the cacao nibs -- it only lasted until the shot was taken, and then melted ;)
* We were looking for a different version of the butternut soup and happened to catch Emeril this morning -- the orange and the roasted seeds were nice additions...
