Arrrghh! must...not...be..a...jerk...
Usually to the left of the tofu;)!?!
but really more in the vein of 'should' rather than 'can' go to Madison Market and check the freezer isle, I've been out of WA for a couple of years and maybe they don't anymore but they probs have giant hunks of frozen tempeh for a fraction of the price of the refrigerated packs and you don't have to check through a bazillion packs for the black mold. Tempeh thaws really fast, you just need a sharp serrated knife to cut off frozen chunks. If they don't have those anymore you're probably still better off buying it at MM than QFC because it's going to be moving a lot faster there, refrigerated tempeh grows old more rapidly than other soy products, and it's one of those things that are less expensive at co-ops than at regular supermarkets.
Happy tempeh-ing!
