Two great things.
1) I got my handy dandy “fu” press and I love it. So much easier and takes up a lot less space than stacking two plates with Jack Welch’s book ”Straight from the Gut” on top as a weight.
2) Cara’s Cravings Blog supplied me with this most excellent tofu recipe.
Sesame Maple Ginger Tofu. Thanks Cara!
Apparently my recipe reading skills are a little rusty. Only after I had marinated the tofu overnight did I realize it was simply supposed to be added to the tofu towards the end of baking. I can officially say that even with my screw up the recipe still rocked. I love the combination of flavors and you apparently can’t mess it up by marinating it too long. I think I might try some in a tofu wrap….I’ll dig around and see what I have at the house that would go well. To be continued……

They really are SO yummy. All my tofu practice has been paying off. It's really turning out better and better!
I bet your screw up made it even better! I'm intrigued by the 'fy press, off to check it out!
I think you would love it! You can use it for pressing liquid out of other things too which is nice. I might try it with spinach.
