I got up earlier than usual today. I decided to take my walk/jog. The second I stepped out of the door, I was greeted by the cold. I know you Northies are like “I know you aren’t complaining about the cold”. Yes, yes I am. I decided to go on my walk anyway. I came up with this “genius” plan. I will not take my regular route but go to the other side of the trail where the river is partly blocked by trees. My theory was that I would have some sort of barrier against the wind blowing off the river. As you have probably guessed I was dead wrong. I.WAS.FREEZING!!!! Then I did not have gloves so my thumbs were cold to the point of pain. But, I completed my morning exercise by some miracle.
The Tofu-shaped Elephant in the Room
For breakfast, I had a big bowl of granola and coconut milk. For lunch, I had my black bean sammies. This time I added siracha instead of hot sauce. It elevated the flavor once again. Dinner will consist of vegetable soup with udon noodles. Udon is by far my favorite noodle.
I decided that now was the time to try my hand at tofu. I have been avoiding tofu for a while. I remember buying a brick of it and never trying it. There is something a bit unappetizing about mushed soy curd made into a brick. But, my Thug Kitchen book says that most people are too lazy to take the steps in making it appetizing. After preparing it myself, I understand the laziness. It is quite a bit of work. But I managed to get the water out of it, make a marinade, cut it, and bake it. Then I did the thing I dreaded the most, I tasted it. It was freaking delicious! I am looking forward to having some on a salad for lunch tomorrow.
Today I learned that maybe tofu is like potato salad. You don’t eat everyone’s potato salad. So perhaps you don’t eat everyone’s tofu.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!
*By the way, I have already lost three pounds. So that’s something.
