Okay, what happened to 21? And I did fall in love: with tofu. For the longest time I thought tofu was too soft and bland for me, but he proved just how exciting he could be. Now I'm with tofu almost every day. I think this might be serious . . . Tofu is good shit! One tip I have for you for cooking it . . . if you want it to gain flavor, marinade it. However, the marinading doesn't take a long time (like with meat), because tofu is like a sponge. Another HOWEVER here . . . since it comes packaged in water (I'm talking particularly of the firm stuff here), you need to s q u e e z e the sponge free of the water so that the tofu can suck up all of the marinade. This takes about an hour. Tips on that: cut a block into four equally sized pieces. Get paper towels (I can't figure out a fabric that would absorb this well AND not leave too much of a mark in the form of lintballs on the tofu) for underneath the tofu and on top of it. Take a cookie sheet and place it on top. Put a HUGE book or pile of books on top of that (basically anything heavy; the cookie sheet evens the weight out). Let it sit for an hour. Turn it over after a half hour if the spirit moves you, but this is not necessary. You can also "fry" tofu like you fry chicken. Flour, egg and bread crumbs. And the silken kind you can use to supplement things like . . . milk or yogurt or ice cream in a shake or smoothie that you make. Adds TONS of protein and still tastes good! (You don't have to drain it like you do with the firm stuff for cooking). This is all in case you didn't know. If you did, I hope you didn't read this far. Eliza Phair can suck it.

Actually I didn't, because I never cook anything, but I will try that soon.
