Dry Mix

2 c. vital wheat gluten

1/2 c. garbanzo bean flour

1/2 c. nutritional yeast flakes

2 tablespoons granulated onion

1 tablespoon powdered garlic

1/2 teaspoon white pepper

Wet Mix

1 package firm or extra firm tofu (15 oz), drained and crumbled

1 1/2 c. water

2 tablespoons Better Than Bouillon “No Chicken” soup base

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon poultry seasoning

I only have 14 ounces of tofu, how would I convert the other measuments to suit that? Would I take 1/15th away from everything?

I'm dating a man that is 13 years older than I am, I'm nineteen and he's thirty-two, his oldest child is 14 and youngest is 3. We've been together for a year last month and I love his children, they're really awesome kids to be honest. They're very smart and easy to fall in love with. Throughout our relationship I've made it very clear that I would like to have at least one biological child and he's always said that he would be fine with it, that he would give me a child whenever I thought I was ready and stuff like that. In may, after I had gotten switched over to a new birth control, I had gotten pregnant, he started freaking out, asking if I wanted to put the baby up for adoption, if I thought I was ready to care for a child, and saying things like "I never thought I would have to go through this again." This really hurt me, I had assumed that everything would be okay because we had talked about this happening and everything was fine at that point. I miscarried at 7 weeks and I can't help feeling that he was relived. He now refuses to have intercourse with me without a condom even though I'm now on the Depo shot, which doesn't bother me all that much except for the fact that he becomes desensitized and loses his erection after about 5 minutes, which in turn makes me feel undesirable.

I have some problems with some of the things he does, the mother of his youngest child moved in with him because she's having financial problems, which I can understand because she IS the mother of his child, but whenever she's at the house he and I don't talk as much and he tells me it's because he doesn't want to start any fights. He's asked me to move in with him after he moves because he's gotten a now job in a different city. I would love to, in theory, but I'm frighted about what would happen if I actually accepted his offer, would it be like when he told me that having another baby wouldn't bother him?

It also seems like he has more of a problem with our age difference than I do. He makes comments about how I couldn't take him home to my mother and things like that even though my mother knows about him, and when I told him that he said that it was weird that I told her.

Does anyone have any advice?? I would be very grateful.
