Marinated Tofu Recipe

Been cycling for about two weeks now, sometimes twice a day (I’m not sure what it is that drives me these days, but I’m exhausted). I’m starting to feel a difference even if I’m not seeing it yet. It’s helping me to wake up in the morning, and sleep a more sound sleep. But my knees are killing me…
I was cycling tonight instead of watching TV. I made grilled, marinated tofu tonight, and had to do something while it was marinating (marinating?). Good stuff this tofu — and great on the barbecue. Here’s what you need:

1 brick of firm or extra-firm tofu
1/4 cup umeboshi vinegar
1/4 cup red wine
1 cup water
2 tsp sesame oil
1 TBS chopped garlic
2 tsp coarse black pepper, or a pepper blend
3 TBS hot sauce (some Asian hot sauce is best here)

Mix above ingredients (except tofu) in a 9 inch glass loaf pan or a bowl
Cut the tofu into 1/4 inch thick slices, and add to liquid
Marinade for 1 hour or more, then grill on barbecue over medium heat for 15-20 minutes, or until slightly crispy
Use it instead of meat on toast, with vegetables, or on a bun

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
