Roasted tofu with dipping sauce

Ever have a day where you just dont feel like cooking, but there are no leftovers and your wallet has more moths than money? I have these days a lot. I had a refrigerator full of condiments and one block of tofu. What to do?

As we all know I am a pinterest addict. So I searched for Tofu recipes and found this: Roasted Tofu w/sauce.

TIP- I had a lot of the sauce left over and found that it makes a great dressing for my cucumbers the next day!

 I take no credit for this recipe. I admit, I stole it and modified it very little (it really did not need modification but i did not have a few of the original ingredients).
