Expressions and Novel Essentials

 I ended up cooking for some vegetarians this summer and expect to again so I have been experimenting with tofu.  Today's experiment wasn't too bad:
very firm tofu, diced, lightly fried
water chestnuts, sliced
dried coconut
dried currents
broth (some wine included to add a little sweetness or add a little honey to a savory broth)
turmeric
rosemary
allspice
bring to a boil and simmer about ten minutes
