Food goes in here.

Another day, another blog. This one marks our interstate move to the food capital of Australia (according to one of my co-workers, anyway). It's intended to document our own cooking successes (and some of our failures), as well as the range of restaurants in our new home city. And it'll all be vegetarian.

February 25, 2008: Soy bombs

My mind's been ticking over ever since Elly announced the Eat to the Beat! blog event . I love a theme, and I knew I could meld meals and music since I count Fiona Apple, Cake and Custard among my favourite music-makers. There are lots of songs out there likening loves to sweet treats, but Warrant's tune Sweet Cherry Pie really isn't to my taste.

Perhaps, like Talking Heads, I was destined to Stay Hungry. Then, channelling the Eels, Michael chipped in with "Whatever happened to soy bomb?" The lyrics of this song are rather bleak and not at all related to food, but I liked the idea of soy bombs for dinner. A google search for tofu balls turned up a pleasant-looking recip...
