Oops! It's Tofu.

Last night I completed an item on my 25 things to accomplish before I turn 25. Drum roll, please....



4. Try tofu for the first time

That's right! I tried tofu for the very first time last night and I even made it myself! I printed a recipe from the internet and just decided to go with it! There was just one little problem. I seemed to have overlooked one of the main ingredients for that recipe so I had to come up with my own, on the fly, with a food that I had never tasted nor cooked with before. It was a pretty interesting adventure, but I managed to pull it off and created a new recipe for myself. Which brings me to another item on my 25 by 25 list:

If you like tofu, you may like this recipe. We didn't like it much at all. Tofu just isn't for everyone, I guess!
