around. I love it when I find something new both my parents enjoy. It is my new latest cooking find. What is yours?

1. Grilled tofu.

But, first it needs to be drained and frozen overnight. Then, squeeze out all of the liquid. It doesn't crumble when you squeeze it, like it does if you don't freeze it. It also sucks up whatever marinade you use, way more than non-frozen tofu. It's like a sponge. I wish I had known about this freezing method years ago. It's not just for grilling. It's great for pretty much any cooking method. I wouldn't recommend it for smoothies, though.

2. I had some fried tofu that was wonderful at a restaurant one time. I tried to replicate

it at home but I couldn't get that smooth consistancy. Now I know how to do that. Thanks.

3. Freezing it is a great way to get all of the liquid out.

I never had much luck getting it crispy until I found this method, because I could never get it dry enough. I haven't tried frying it after freezing yet, but I'm sure this is what does the trick. Even draining it overnight in a sieve didn't work as well.

4. Try it with brie and mint jelly next time - amazing combination.

6. the red pepper jelly becomes liquid and runs out of the omlette if you put two much on. Much less

than a table spoon should do it. Enjoy!

9. Did you remember to put "pants" on the list?
