I find it best to substitute it for meat in Chili, soup or Mexican food. Some potent chili or a nice bean and tofu burrito with all the fixings covers the tofo up nicely. I'll have to try that freezing thing to see if it helps with the texture at all. I would also think that tofu and fruit smoothies would be ok. Maybe chop it up and marinate it in Pineapple juice for a day so you can't taste it in the drink. Soy milk's not bad either. I've stopped drinking pasturized milk recently after reading that calves fed pasturized whole cow's milk die within a week. Vanilla soy protein shakes rock. Other than that I eat the hell of of any meat, also rare/medium rare. Whatever it is it has to be sitting in a puddle of blood (except chicken).

Only in Miso soup :)

I've never had tofu before, but I'm up for trying it. I would love to go vegetarian, but I just now started having money for myself, and buying my own groceries was not an option a month ago. Now I can though. :) So here goes my third attempt at going veg.

Could you link me to that study please?

Calves can drink pasteurized milk just fine, provided it's been repopulated with the apropriate microbes. They are obligatorily dependant on their gut flora for digestion. Newborn calves have no gut flora and must obtain it from the environment. There's nothing toxic about pasteurized milk, they just have a different way of digesting it than we do.

I marinated some, in slices, overnight in Italian dressing and pressed it between paper towels (as per my boyfriend's suggestion--to get it a more "meat-like" texture). Then I stir-fried it with brown rice and black beans.

It was okay--I thought it would absorb a litte more flavor than it did. I think smaller strips would be better in a stir fry. I'm going to try again tonight with brown rice, black beans, onions, garlic, olive oil and adobo. :)

I'm sure with some tweaking, I can find a way I really like it.

I understand that it is the lack of enzymes and microbes in pasteurized milk that are the cause. I never said it was toxic or anything like that. It's the same thing with meat and vegetables. Raw is the way to go with food, but pasturized milk and dairy in general is not very healthy. I can't find the artical I read, but I'm sure if you do a search for acid forming foods and their negative affects on health, or mucoid plaque, or even for studies on pasteurized milk and calves you will be surprised.

sorta like if one of us (except tom green) were to shove a mouse:mouse2: into our mouth and swallow it whole...the digestion probably (i can't verify this...yet :evileye: )wouldn't be fun
