CURRENT MISSION

To to travel the US and abroad until I fall in love with a person or a place. It's really that simple.

ABOUT ME

My free-spirited friends think I'm neurotic about fitness. My triathlon training partners think I'm some kind of vegan hippie. I'm just doing what feels right. This usually works out well, except for those occasional times it leads me to heartbreak, hangovers, tennitis, or awkward conversations with Albanian customs agents.

PHILOSOPHY

The key is to force out all the water. I mean all of it. Use kitchen towels under weight and not paper towels. Then marinate in a great sauce. Lots of options here, though I stick to the three S's (sweet, savory, salty). You can't use too much heat, so long as you use peanut or coconut oil. It's that simple. That's my Personal Philosophy on frying tofu. If you are looking for any other Personal Philosophy of mine, just ask.
