Sincere salutation to one and all! May the blue birds of happiness egest deep feelings of good upon everyone today!
Tiffany and I had a revelation on Monday morning. Both of us have dined and eaten scrambled tofu dishes at our local vegan & vegetarian restaurants. But, we hadn't a clue how they managed to emulate the real thing (scrambled eggs) so well. Personally, I just assumed that it was some sort of tofu blending, dehydration, and reconstitution process involved which gave it that dead-on texture, taste and appearance.
However, my hypothesis was proven erroneous this morning. Tiffany and I made a spectacular tofu scramble breakfast this morning that would fool even the most veteran scrambled egg aficionado. And... The best thing? It was truly as easy as one-two-three!
