Trying Tofu

Tried tofu today. Not quite the first time, but rarely had it before. Don’t recall being impressed. Didn’t think I was missing anything, but the book I’m reading has a whole subsection devoted to how wonderful soy is, and its protective properties agains the cancer I’m attempting to avoid. Said it was nature’s version of the chemo prevention they want me to take. It was edible, but I should have marinated it in something different. We picked the only marinade we had in the pantry, and thought it might work with stir-fry. I think I should simply get a jar of mined garlic and let it soak in that next time. That or liquid smoke or something. Looked up ways to cook it next time. I’m not a fan of soy milk (glack), frozen is probably mushy, and not sure where to buy soybeans fresh, so tofu seemed like worth a shot. Had no idea what to buy, so we got extra firm. Sure seemed soft and squishy, but what do I know. Maybe soy nuts? If those were flavored, that certainly has potential. I know salt is generally bad, but I enjoy smoked salt and seasoned sea salts, so I could probably wash them down that way. I need to try nutritional yeast too. Who knows, maybe that would be a magic combination. Will have to check out the bulk section some time.
