Tofu

Tofu
Reyes Peak, Calif.
July 2012




I saved a little bit of work that could easily be done on the laptop and escaped to Pine Mountain for five days. Call it a working holiday per say. Spend a few hours pluggin' away on the laptop, go for a hike. Spend another few hours buried in spreadsheets and budgeting, have a beer. Spend some time going editing notes for a new novel and laying out the framework, go take a nap in the sunshine. Wash, rinse, repeat. Productivity without all the normal stresses of a 12 hour workday. I make it work.

I also have had this idea for a backcountry cookbook, sort of dirtbag-meets-haute-gastronomy. Its very rive gauche. Anyhow decided to make cooking a big part of the trip. The first night I made a Rosemary Garlic Tofu dish with a Balsamic Marmalade Reduction. Not bad for cast iron over an open fire. Hopefully the first of many. I'll keep you posted.




Love.

Garlic & rosemary fried tofu in a balsamic marmalade reduction over white rice and fire roasted peppers & onions.
Not too bad for winging.
