City girl. Traveling soul. Always hungry.
Tofu may be the food choice that sends my meat-eating friends running faster than anything else on earth. People can be legitimately disgusted by tofu. And it’s unfortunate, because I’m convinced that much of this disgust comes from eating badly prepared tofu, not unlike if I declared that steak was “disgusting” because I’d received a...
