The Handyman can because he mixes it with love and make the world taste good

If you ever get the chance to go to Grand Rapids, Michigan, go to Marie Catrib's  for lunch. I L-O-V-E that place! It is some of best, most-filling food I've ever had, cross-my-heart-and-hope-to-die. There's a few vegan sandwiches on the menu so I thought I'd try my hand at making one of them.

Behold the Handyman!















TA-DA!

This very interesting sandwich includes glazed tofu, seasoned potatoes, roasted red peppers, avocado, and garlic spread. 

I started with the seasoned potatoes, smothering them in evoo, seasoned salt, and curry powder, and then baking them in the oven.

I dry-fried some tofu. I didn't know what to do as far as the "glaze" went, so I made a mixture of honey mustard, water, and sugar. I brushed this concoction on half of the tofu, the other half went into a homemade teriyaki sauce marinade which was so easy to make that I'll never have to buy teriyaki sauce again! 















I decided not to roast the peppers because I was running short on time too hungry. I threw all of these ingredients on two slices of the wheat bread we had on hand and voila! 

Overall grade: B-
I was expecting something as delicious as the Marie Catrib's sandwich of my dreams. This sandwich was NOT it. Also, Sara Lee Honey wheat bread is not hearty enough for sandwich of this magnitude.

And that was all the experimental cooking I could handle for wednesday. 

P.S. Better photo quality coming soon!
