Does anybody cook with tofu? I get it mixed in with stuff occasionally when I go out to an Asian restaurant, and I like the way it's grilled. I've never bought any for home preparation.

Here's a search on the subject cook with tofu and I've never had tofu.

@ cRuncky
Even Andrew Zimmern has had a tofu fail and had to back away.

Eric does a good tempeh stir fry. It has more body than most forms of tofu so we prefer tempeh to tofu most of the time as a meat substitute.

I forgot about tempeh. I'm going to have to do some exploring in the store and see what the difference is.

Lobster season started yesterday and the first one was sold this morning.
It was sold for about $4000/pound (!) to fishmonger Per-Arne Korshag and was asked "Does a lobster taste better because it is expensive?"
"It was a stupid question," he said .
He tells us that his wife passed away in cancer last year so that this year's lobster he have to eat alone.
"I will do it with white cloths and sit there and enjoy, now I'll cheer up again.

Someone was nice on Amazon, I'm at long last getting a toaster,
I think this is what is coming via UPS on Wednesday since I did not order anything.

That's great news, Vic!

I love my toaster. It's a basic necessity to me. I don't have a microwave or a dishwasher, but by golly I've got a toaster!

Thanks Gordon, I have all 3, of course the toaster I have is one that won't burn anything, I use the dishwasher as convenient storage since there isn't much storage here, though I'm working on that, its just going to take some time, energy, lack of pain, in short a good day. Everything is Whirlpool here, except the toaster, all the Whirlpools were either bought by Me or inherited, so I've got My toaster. It's replacing a 4 slot My brother bought before He lived with Me. Kenmore is also good.

Do not try these at Burger King. They are just like their Chicken nuggets--very dry and tasteless --mostly breading.

The best gifts are often surprises. Do you have a registry? How did somebody know you needed a toaster?

I have a few lists on Amazon, A Master Lock/knob set(see below) and the Toaster came by UPS today,
only the 2 packages and some brown paper were in the Box,
sometimes a shipment will have a piece of white paper stating who sent what and to thank them with a link, other times nothing.

Oh dear...
The unique gastronomical adventure offered by a Malmö museum in Sweden is not for the faint of heart.
https://disgustingfoodmuseum.com/
Food is so much more than sustenance. Curious foods from exotic cultures have always fascinated us. Unfamiliar foods can be delicious, or they can be more of an acquired taste. While cultural differences often separate us and create boundaries, food can also connect us. Sharing a meal is the best way to turn strangers into friends.
Inside, visitors get the chance to smell and taste the world's most revolting culinary delights, such as roasted guinea pigs from Peru, smelly Thai fruit durian, bull penises and Icelandic "rotten shark" hákarl. Another specimen is fermented mare's milk kumys popular in Central Asia and parts of Russia. The local highlight surströmming, literally translated as "sour herring," where barely enough salt is used to prevent the fish from rotting, is most often eaten outdoors due to its acrid smell.

I had 2 burritos for dinner, specifically El Monterrey Shredded Steak and 3 Cheese, yum and yes they're satisfying.
2 mins in the microwave, the package says 1.5 mins per burrito in an 1100w microwave oven and Mine is 900w, previous to this I heated 2 @ 1.75 mins(1:45) and I think I'll go back to that.

I'm giving Freshly a try, only because I get a big discount on the first two weekly orders. Freshly is a service that creates the meal for you and sends it to you cooked but cold - not frozen - and vacuum sealed. You can heat them in the microwave. So far I like everything except for the fruit porridge with muffin. I took one bite of each and threw it out.

Here's a referral URL if you want to try it with the same discount: http://refer.freshly.com/s/Suzanne410

I tried one of those cook-it-yourself things* where they send you all the ingredients you need plus the recipe. I liked it but I got a little overwhelmed. I didn't cook the meals right away so I ended up keeping them in the fridge until I had to throw them out. Which is a big waste, of course.

I went to my favorite bakery, yesterday. My mother used to take me in there occasionally after school and get two chocolate eclairs for us and a creme horn for my dad.
I got a creme horn and a chocolate eclair, but I couldn't resist the Springerles, and I ended up getting some raisin bread, too. :~)

At home, my goodies on the kitchen counter -

I had some sushi, shrimp, and a salmon bowl w/rice in Victorville today, this was at A1 Grill Teriyaki & Roll at 15061 Bear Valley Rd, a friend even had Miso Soup there. Chopsticks are optional.

I've seen them used, but that's all.

I did have some chop sticks that My brother brought back from Japan, mom made Me throw them out, use the metal rimmed plates in the microwave, the figurine I repaired is at My sister in laws place, I found out My mom hated people of Japanese descent, no matter where a person was born at.

I found a fork or spoon for the Miso Soup which I didn't have this time works for Me.

I have a plastic cheater. Just lock the sticks into the clips and you are ready to go.
