It happened ! I had given up all hope. I had already visited two local thai restaurants to ask about their tofu purchases.
I went on and on (à la BBQ rant) about how incomplete my culinary life was because I was missing tofu. Swedes looked at me strangely. 'What is this 'tofu' you speak of?' And then, upon answering them, I could tell they did not 'get' it.
So, yesterday, I'm strolling through a local grocery shop, buying some frozen fruit and soy milk, browsing around the liquid yogurt section (yes, that is not a typo) when I see something white, cubed, and un-appetizing looking. TOFU!
Ignoring the fact that the expiry date had already passed, I snatched up two blocks of that delicious bean curd goodness. I was elated! Pad thai tonight!, I said to myself.
So tonight, right after this post of glory, I am off to cook myself some tofu for the first time since I hit European land. Protein city, here I come!
p.s How many of these posts actually revolve around food?
Answer: Far too many.
I moved to Borås, (bo-rohse) Sweden, where I am teaching French and English. Here I will write about my trials and tribulations, my ups and downs, the new places and faces, and every direction in between.
