We used to really love going to shows at The Hollywood Bowl. But, in recent years Ticketmaster has made that unbearable. It seems that as soon as tickets go on sale to the public, they're immediately scooped up then resold right on the Ticketmaster site at 2x/3x/4x the original price! It's absurd! This should be illegal, and it is obviously being done by Ticketmaster itself. Of course, there has been no shows for a year due to the pandemic, but I doubt I'll even look at them once they return. What's the point? I just wish other people would stop buying them, then maybe something would be done.

No, sorry, I didn't save any screenshots. It happened twice back before COVID-19. We wanted to see Andrea Bocelli, and one of the LA Phil concerts. Both times I went online as the tickets went on sale (I'd monitored them) and both times the seats we wanted were immediately snagged, but then a few minutes later were for resale right there on Ticketmaster's website for double or triple the original price. I was so angry.

For making it more "meaty", I take a typical package of tofu and freeze it. After it is frozen solid a couple of days, place it in the fridge to thaw. After thawed, open it, drain off the water, slice it into cubes. Take each cube and press between your two palms, like a sponge, and so much water will be released. Carefully squeeze, you don't want to rip it apart. The resulting cubes will puff back up with air (again like a sponge). Salt them a little bit and fry in oil, browning on all sides just until lightly toasted, drain on paper towel. The fried tofu can then be used in many dishes and will have a more chewy, "meaty" texture. Delicious and much easier than it sounds.

Exactly! I'm making mapo tofu for dinner tonight, actually. I use medium-firm tofu, blanching it in some salted water for about 4 minutes, then air drying on some parchment paper until I'm ready to make the dish.
