First Grill of the Season

You know when you smell that smoky-woody-grilly smell during the evening in your neighborhood? You're always jealous of whoever it is that's grilling. Well, tonight WE are those people - our first grill of the season.

It was sunny and in the 80s here today, and, of course, it was Sunday, so what does this add up to? A home-cooked Sunday dinner, grilling style.

I have to attribute this recipe to my Mom - while she and my Dad aren't "tofu people", persay, she sought out this recipe for a get-together years ago. I grilled tangerine teriyaki tofu slabs and served them with chopped scallions and sesame seeds, along with sides of brown rice and East-West marinated asparagus. Talk about umami...you can't beat the combo of of soy sauce, tangerine juice, honey, garlic, and fresh ginger.


After a long day of working in the yard, this was the perfect ending - my tummy is doing happy backflips right now.
