I'm a vegetarian, I don't find I try at it or anything. I guess because I'm used to it. I eat a lot of good restaurant tofu and my mom makes it for me from time to time. If you don't know how to prepare it though, don't expect it to taste good if you decided to fry it up.

Veggie restaurants are usually high in the delicious factor. My carniverous little sis loves it when I bring her out to one. That's where I get ideas for meals anyway.

If you're not aiming for veganism, then I suggest eating a lot of cheese. And nuts. Mm, pistachios.

Trader Joe's = nut paradise for vegetarians. My boyfriend and I have both been veg at various points in our lives, and now, we'd probably be baco-vegetarians if we did it again. Bacon is just too yummy, as much as I love pigs.

The other thing to know about tofu is: marinate, marinate, marinate. Press out as much water with towels/paper towels as you can, then soak it in whatever yumminess you have in the fridge (orange juice + black pepper is good!) for as long as you can before baking or frying it. Helpful tofu tip!
