Almost 10 Months

So tonight I made tofu for the first time. Ever. I know, it is embarrassing. I was even a vegetarian for four years and never actually prepared the stuff myself. In my defense, I was a vegetarian in high school, so really wasn’t so great at making choices at all, especially when it [...]
