Oh Tofu and CousCous, how I love thee…

let me count the ways.

I have to say, as I’m sitting here eating my tofu, couscous and spinach (a recipe I came up with all by myself, thank you very much), I think that Tofu has gotten a bad rap. I mean seriously, with a name like Tofu, you’re going to get the grimace face. While I completely understand the turnoff (tofu does sound like some sort of toe fungus), I think that maybe we, as people with feelings, shouldn’t throw judgment around so hastily. What if your friend wanted to set you up on a blind date with some chick named Matilda. I know what you are thinking…… butch, pigtailed type from the Netherlands who can probably bench press you and your entire footfall team with one arm. Now, what if you turn down this blind date and she turns out to be the hottest chick since . Instead she goes out with your loser friend Fred who plays PlayStation all day, ends up falling for him and lives happily ever after. How lame do you feel now?

Anyway…. I digress from my point.

I’m just saying that people should give little old Tofu a chance. It really is nutritious and delicious.

Thanks mom, for being a hippie and introducing me to the world of bean curd.
