Yesterday I enjoyed a brief, one-day temporary reprieve from sulking at LA's Little Tokyo Tofu Festival! It took forever to get there (heinous traffic), wasn't cheap (gas, parking, admission, tastings, etc.) and nearly cost us our lives (at one point my brother and I got lost and ended up trapped in a near riot on nasty Skid Row before about 30 of LA's finest showed up)- I loved it. Loved it. This year's logo was a picture of a block of tofu wearing shades that said "It's hip to be square." Classic. I even made sure to get a variety of souvenirs for my tofu-hating coworkers (who have been harassing me about the festival) to decorate their office space next week.
It was a day of absolute gluttony. Not only did I enjoy a small bag (only by American standards...since the large bag was nearly as tall as I was) of the world's best kettle corn at the Orange County Marketplace that morning, but in the afternoon, the Royster and I sampled about 8-9 delicious types of tofu-based foods. We also had some of my absolute favorite desserts- kinako mochi (see the obaasans pounding it below) and peanut butter mochi. My two discoveries of the day were shiratake noodles (Yes Jonathan! I did get some!!!) and wheat grass! I thought I'd want to start mooing after I drank it, but I actually kinda liked it and got a few packets of it.
Since I still can't run, this morning we woke up and headed straight into the kitchen to dice and prepare a number of different dishes with all of the 10-12 types of produce we purchased from the market yesterday- fresh pineapple salsa, guacamole, a tofu & veggie stir fry, fruit salad and vegetable salad. We felt like hippies (but ones who still like to use deodorant). All good fun.

Your funny, you love the tofu, you'll hug the tofu. I, on the other hand, have tofu in my fridge for the last month and haven't eating it! I don't mind it just don't prefer it over meat I guess. I also have the super huge bag of costco veggies that I haven't eaten too! I have been eating more fresh foods though and doing pretty well. Was kinda down your way, I think at Disneyland this past weekend. Weather was awesome though seattle is nice right now too. Though it was funny you used 'positive patty' in your previous post cause that's my name. I'm not always positive though but I try! I was at the airport and saw this ladies hawaiian print bag and so I go, 'I wish I went to hawaii instead of disney' and she works for a travel co. in Maui and I used to live there too. Then I saw a travel poster to hawaii and then someone's hawaii sticker on their car and now I've got serious longings to go now!!! Can't, Can't, darn it! Enjoy your blog.
not to change the subject, but a Bill Bryson fan. Don't see too many of those online. Funny dude. Like your blog. You're inspiring me to get back into the workout swing of things. I'm not a runner, but I love hiking. Time to hit it again.
