Greeting my Friends,
As some of you may know, we have a new family member that I wrote about in the post few days ago. If you missed it, please have a look here: NEW FAMILY ADVENTURE with YELLOW SAILBOAT
In the nutshell, our new family member is an old 1970's sailboat that needed some TLC. Until last week she was stanchioned in the marina on the dry land, but Wednesday was the big day for her to be transported in the water.
Unfortunately, the Canadian weather wasn't on our side. It was the coldest spring day, only 6C degree, but it felt like 0C. I was filming the whole process with my gloves on, but my fingers were frozen anyway. The wind obviously made it colder, but I did my best capturing this wonderful moment.
Honestly, I never though about any of this before and I didn't have a slightest idea how is done. Despite the cold and gloomy weather, we enjoyed watching the marina workers in action. They did a great job with a big machine which lifted our little boat like a feather. It was truly amazing and I hope you will take a look. I believe you will find it quite educational and entertaining!
And if you like our NEW FAMILY ADVENTURE, make sure you stand by for more. The weather is improving now and we will be sailing soon ⛵🌞⛵
Thank you so much and I wish you a wonderful rest of the week 💙🌞💙

In the meantime, I am spending time mostly in the kitchen and behind computer. Just finished this new recipe, the Wholesome Buddha Bowl for you and I am very happy with it.

- When ready, drain the remaining liquid and dry tofu in clean towel.
- Cut into cubes and place into container.
- Merge in marinade and let it sit for 1 hour. I suggest saving some marinade for later.

- On heated oil, sauté, garlic and gradually add tamari, ginger, chili sauce, maple syrup and lemon while stirring.
- Add the peppers, sauté for a minute, then reduce the heat.

- You may turn off the heat now and add the red cabbage.
- Toss well again and top with scallions.

- Heat up oil and gradually arrange all the cubes on the pan, with half of the marinade.
- Flip each cube couple times making sure they are evenly done.
- At the end, add the rest of the marinade, let it simmer for few seconds, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and turn off the heat.
- Arrange your bowls and top with scallions and cilantro. You may add some other veggies such as broccoli or what ever you choose.
Notes
This meal is best served immediately and consumed fresh, although it is still tasty even reheated the next day.
