Vegetarian baked beans and tofu crumbles on the menu tonight!

Wasn't too sure about this when I picked it up in Publix today.  Not even sure I want to be a vegetarian yet.  I am trying lots of new foods right now to figure out what I do want.  You will be the first to know when I do decide. 

I mixed the tofu and baked beans and heated in microwave.  I ate this along with one-half an apple and two tablespoons raw pumpkin seeds (MUFA).  Surprisingly it was quite good.  I really couldn't taste the tofu.  At least nothing tasted bad.  I have decided that maybe the texture and feel of food in the mouth plays a big role.  If it feels right it probably is ok.  That's just my theory.  Last night those tofu hot dogs looked like hot dogs, smelled like hot dogs but as I was eating them they didn't "feel" right.  I even mixed them into baked beans for beanie weenies.
