Let's be Precise People!

Here's a recent question from devoted blobophile Phyllis:

Can you (or I)(or both of us together) freeze tofu?

I have a few problems with this question but 1st the short anwer. YES, you can freeze anything for heaven's sake, even cadmium!! By not being more clear you're forcing me to make assumptions about what it really is you want to know. YES, frozen tofu can be used successfully in hand to hand combat, NO it can't be used in construction. It will change texture once thawed and therefore cooking uses are limited. Try chopping it finely and using it as a ground beef substitute in Bolognese sauce or better yet, next time don't buy so much. People who aren't vegetarians will sometimes get a healthy urge in the grocery and buy a big chunk of the stuff only to let it languish in the fridge until it turns mauve because the Haagen-Dazs and Tostitos were more appealing. Stop kidding yourselves...buy ONLY what you can eat on the way home from the store.
