Thanks - I think I'm going to try this tonight. I think I'll try something like this as my first tofu recipe since my stir fry didn't turn out very well. Thanks again for all the tofu suggestions - I'm ready to give it a try again!

Hi hde! I had it last night for dinner -- and the night before as well. I love it -- but it does give me gas (as all beans will). Try taking a Beano beforehand. Also, if you have a food processor, it's useful to get the tofu mixed up with the seasonings really well.
WARNING: I'm a "D" person, and need little encouragement in that department.  This recipe will make you go! (Lets see, how politely can I put this?) My hubby said this morning, after eating 2 cups of this for dinner last night, . . . well, he thanked me for the chili, and added, "it's a little too much happiness for me!"
