How Young Tran blew my mind on election night

Young Tran, on the most historical night of our generation, presented The Goodman household with not just any baked tofu…it was the marinated, baked tofu of my dreams.

Many years ago, during The Mustard Days (literally: The Salad Days), numerous Intermezzo salads were consumed. It became obvious over the consumption of dozens of salads that their marinated tofu was the most unreal, delicious substance I have ever had the delight to eat. Naturally, we tried to make it at home with little success. The dream died.

Young single-handedly revitalized the taste sensation with his brilliant interpretation of this recipe. [Also: I am thrilled to have liquid smoke in the house.]

Note: photos were taken of my own interpretations of this recipe, but tofu, without fail, looks really gross when photographed by me.
