I'm anxious to get that recipe, Ima. I myself am a tofu lover, and the kids and DH are ok with it too, but I have a lot of sceptical family members and friends to convince.

Good tip on the soaking water, too. Along those lines, I hope everyone knows to not throw out the water they use to steam vegetables. You can use it to make broths, or just drink it like tea. It has lots of nutrients.

And btw, Macrobiotics is kind of like MWO, you take what you want from it, use it the way that fits you best. It's flexible. Very worth looking into.

Crispy curried tofu -
(first - I learned a very valuable tip for tofu - coat it with cornstarch before pan frying to make it crispy on the outside and soft on the inside)
So I started doing that trick with the cornstarch, but marinating the large cubes of tofu first with tamari. Then I amened to this...

Mix tablespoon or more curry powder with some tamari. Coat large cubes of tofu with it, let marinate for a bit. Then coat with cornstarch.
Heat vegetable oil with a bit of sesame oil on med-high heat. Pan fry tofu on each side til beautifully browned. If the oil is hot enough it will turn out good and crispy. Put the tofu on paper towels til served. SO yummy!!!! I made this last night and served with that black rice to which I simply added butter and tamari. Very gratifying. You might want to figure out some kind of dipping sauce for the tofu for kids and husbands.

Mmm, I wish I had tofu in the house right now (it takes a major expedition to find it in this neck of the woods)-- but as soon as I get my hands on some, I'll try it. Sounds good and simple (except for that getting the tofu part). By the way, when I do find good tofu, I buy a bunch and freeze it. It works well if you defrost and press/drain it.

Thank you. I knew my cutting back a little bit every day would eventually inspire someone here. If I can do it, anyone can.

MWO's role model through and through. Lushy is actually saying that MWO can work for many addictions if applied properly.

I am proud of you. I am also proud of myself that I am ONLY logging on 3 times a day now. LOL! I won't say for how long each log in is for tho!

MWO is indeed adaptable to many afflictions, but to answer your question Flip I used sheer determination with a little bit of white knuckling at times. But believe me it can be done. I thank you all for encouraging my continued success in this endeavor.
