Any vegetarians?

Veggie burgers taste better with bacon! :gee:

Not to bash anyone who is a vegetarian, I just think the ones who only eat veggies because the do not want to kill animals are retarded. In other words I can respect the one who do it for health.

How long do you need to let the tofu sit wrapped in a towel?

I am not sure about the towel thingie. Never drained tofu, but here is an approach that I think will work better:
We are big on yogurt...even have an yogurt machine. One way to make the yogurt thicker is to drain the fluid off of it. You do it by dumping it on cheese cloth and hangin it above the sink. Pretty sure that this would drain the fluid off the tofu much better than the towel...
One reason why people in this hemisphere are turned off by veggies is the poor choice and quantity of spices. I would follow RichP's advice about getting an Italian book, but would go even further and go for a book that covers the whole Mediteranean region.
If you have troubles, pm me and I can help you out as at home we cook everything from scratch.
Good luck.
