A meatless spin on street food classic

Satay is one of Southeast Asia’s most recognizable grilled street foods, sold everywhere from roadside carts and night markets to family-run restaurants. Traditional satay is often made with meat, such as chicken, beef or lamb. In this vegetarian version, extra-firm tofu replaces the meat. Tofu’s mild flavor and porous texture, along with the initial step of pressing it first, allow it to readily absorb the marinade.

Since then, he was told that he had disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and that there wasn’t any treatment for it. The doctors don’t want to do surgery for the cancer because they’re afraid that he might have another stroke, so he’s been left without options. They told him that he could spend his time going from doctor to doctor or go home and be with his family for whatever time he has left. Does all this sound reasonable to you?

Neighbor’s dog disrupts new baby’s nap time

Dear Annie: My husband and I recently welcomed our first baby, and we are exhausted but overjoyed. We live in an apartment building, and after weeks of trial and error, we finally started getting our daughter onto a somewhat predictable sleep schedule. The problem is our next-door neighbor’s dog.
