Adventures in Cooking: Attempt #7

File this one under "vegetarian foods that only vegetarians would be interested in." :3

I marinated two thin blocks of tofu in Korean BBQ sauce for about 8 hours, then layered it with more BBQ sauce and heated it up in the microwave oven. It turned out pretty well, though I think the tofu didn't soak up the marinade as much as I wanted. I heard thawed tofu soaks up marinades especially well, so I'll probably try that next time!

I also attempted to make homemade honey-flavored ice cream without an ice cream maker, which really was an adventure. At first, I tried to freeze up the ice cream batter by using ice cubes and salt (which is a method I read about online), but it didn't work at all. So I ended up just freezing it while mixing occasionally, which worked out well enough. Though the honey was realllllly overpowering, so I doubt I'll ever make this flavor again. I think I might attempt plain old vanilla tomorrow... though my ultimate goal is to try out a really unusual flavor that definitely isn't available in stores. :)

Non-food related: I started watching Macross Frontier today. (Without having seen any of its prequels, ho ho ho.) The story is all over the place, but it's def. entertaining enough. I'm marathoning it, so I might even be done with the whole thing by tomorrow~
