tofu suggestions anyone?

here's the scoop:

i don't often buy meat. part of that is because i don't like too many different kinds of meat. the list i'll willingly choose on my own is basically chicken, turkey, seafood, and ground beef. so when i do my own shopping and don't want a ton of meat (most of the time), i buy canned tuna, or canned chicken or turkey just because one can is about how much i want in a meal and it keeps for a long time.

when i went shopping this weekend though, i eyeballed the tofu. i've had tofu plenty of times before when other people were making it or at restaurants, just never made it myself. but the price is right -- you get more of it for less money per ounce than some of the canned meat, so it's worth a shot, not as a replacement, but as another protein source for a little more variety... so first off, i was surprised at the soft, firm, extra firm designations, and second of all, i've never really seen anyone do anything with it except kinda stirfry it with vegetables, which was fine for tonight, but...

all this is to say: any tofu-afficionados out there who have some serving suggestions and/or advice on what the different kinds are best for?

the end.
