Joan- You have made enormous strides! I've been so proud of you as I follow your progress. The good thing about tofu is that it has a really long shelf life in the fridge, so you should only have to stock up once a month or less. I'm very glad you were able to be there with your mom through the summer. That is truly a gift for both of you. Jennifer- Thank you!

I've been trying so hard to eat better -- and I've made huge strides -- but I'm still relying too much on dairy and cheese and bottled condiments. I can't wait to try this. (Of course, I have to drive to the nearby city to get tofu, danggit!). PS Thanks for your kind note about my mom. It's been a tough summer but I'm so grateful to have been given the gift of being by her side and holding her hand every day for the last two months of her life.

What else have you had luck with? Paula- You can buy a can and only use a few anchovies, or even better you can find a tube of anchovy paste (mine is called Creme d'Anchos) which lasts forever in the fridge. I add a little squeeze of the paste whenever I want a bit of umami in a sauce or dish such as my favorite mussel dish. It works beautifully, much like fish sauce in Asian cooking. In small amounts you never get a 'fishy' taste but end up with a salty umami background note that is terrific. Julie- Using it in other sauces is a great idea. What else have you had luck with?

I've been using silken tofu mixed with other sauces and flavorings for a mayo substitute for awhile, but I haven't graduated to salad dressings yet. I think I will now! I even have a can of anchovies I've been itching to use. I love the sound of this!
