part of the great things of being single and living in the city are flexibility and mobility. at 6:45 pm i biked over fresh fields on P street for my first ever vegetarian cooking class. i met a friend and at 7pm the show began. we were handed 6 recipes, three of which were with tofu.
my past experience with tofu was bland. so i grumbled but not for too long. the first recipe was light and yummy. my appetite opened up. by the time the third came along i was in love with tofu with life with me.
my favourite course was the Asian tofu. a great blend of citrus, mint, ginger, sesame seeds, scallion, fresh red pepper and sauteed pieces of tofu in sesame oil. at the end, we were all well served, well fed and delighted it was freeeeeeee.
how can something so bland be so exquisite? indeed the ingredients are key. but not all. there was passion, dedication, and hard work for the most part that transformed the tasteless into gourmet. what if life is tofu? no meaning no flavor. what we add to it reflects its taste. if it's so we can all transform the dull into exquisite memorable experience.
please share your moments of such transformation.
