'Beneath You'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Because I tend to skip any slow cooker recipe that tells me to brown a lot of ingredients.
No longer a problem now that I live with a vegetarian. "Brown the tofu" doesn't come up a lot. (Actually, I can't recall ever making anything with tofu.)
I love the blog I got the lasagna recipe from: [link] I've bookmarked about a jillion of her recipes that I want to try. (So far I've only made the lasagna, repeatedly.)
Bah. Time to head out to work.
I dislike tofu. Not as much as cilantro, but still ....
Someone once asked me what you could use tofu for. My response? "I hear it makes pretty good insulation." (YTofuMV)
I always brown the tofu. But I wouldn't use it in a slow cooker recipe I don't think.
I *love* crispy tofu in Pad Thai, but all of my Pad Thai comes from the cheap Thai restaurant one neighborhood away from ours, so I've never attempted to cook it myself.
I grew up eating tofu. I like it cold with some shoyu. . . or in numerous other forms. I usually prefer it when it's not pretending to be something else.
Ryan's a tofu fan. I've never liked it though. I've noticed Ryan's Chinese vocab is strongest, relatively speaking, in food-related matters.

This is my relationship to tofu.
I do like it in Tom Yum soup, which I can now make at home. It is heavy on the YUM.
Oh! In "it's a small world" news, Wallybee had an interpreting job for the police today. It was a long one, didn't finish until 9:30 tonight. One of the police drove her home afterwards (we live a fair distance from the city, almost an hour by train). Turns out he was a policeman in Canberra for eight years, and he arrested my brother on numerous occasions! Isn't that nice?

Personal connections are SO important when networking for job opportunities!
My parents did a fair amount of the tofu thing in the '70s. (Largely because my mother had health issues that made eight watching critical.) It worked fairly well as a substitute for ground beef in things like meat sauces, where there was something else to add flavor. The texture was kind of off from beef, but I could deal with that.
