tofu platter

Stopped at a local Chinese restaurant, with three friends.

You know how sometimes the menu is divided into sections such as: chicken, seafood, vegetarian, etc? Yeah, this one was. I saw a "Vegetables" section, and ordered the spicy bean curd.

We sipped delicious tea and chatted as we waited for our order. I was hungry. The food came. Mine was a platter of tofu, sprinkled with red pepper flakes, in a brown sauce. A plate of tofu. Just tofu. How strange.

"Excuse me, could I get some vegetables with this? Some steamed broccoli? Maybe some rice too?" I asked the waitress.

She brought those things. It was a good meal.
