Heard today on NPR: What's Triggering Your Migraine?

Included at the site is a list of food triggers in PDF format. Most of it I already knew, but I was surprised to see soybean products on it and would be sad if they triggered migraines for me.

...

Vogon picked up a bottle of Dr Pepper Berries & Cream to try. It tastes like Dr Pepper and cream soda with just a hint of berries. I like it better than Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper, which I thought the vanilla flavor was too aggressively fake-tasting, but not enough that I'd buy it again.

Perhaps I should cut back on my HFCS intake and start buying Dr Pepper-flavored lip balm.

Reading the latest issue of the Central Market Foodie newsletter aways makes me drool. This upcoming class at their Dallas cooking school makes me wonder exactly how one would make tofu croutons:

A few random bits I've forgotten to post in the past few weeks:

If you put any coagulant in your soymilk maker, it will become a tofu maker for the rest of its life. (The soymilk makers here are now labeled "T" and "M" to prevent confusion.)

Laurel is going through a growth spurt and currently inhales anything you put in front of her -- if she's hungry. Most weekdays, she picks at her food at lunchtime and wolfs it down about two hours later.

At her bedtime, she's told to watch the fish when it's time to settle down. She now responds "and Spike the 'pwawn'" since she's learned he's not a lobster. (The large freshwater tank has a blue prawn that's a little longer than the span of my hand and assorted feeder fish in it. I think of Zoidberg from Futurama every time I watch Spike move around the tank.)

I am now addicted to the following foods: wasabi peas, Cotswald with onions and chives (I was before, but now I have a regular supply), vegetable rolls, tempeh, homemade yogurt with a dash of vanilla sugar, and miso. You may blame vogonpoet for all of them.

The two-week round of antibiotics mentioned in my previous post has the label "Do not drink milk or eat dairy products while taking this medication."

Anyone got some good soy recipes or product recommendations for me to try in the next two weeks? I'm a hardcore cheese addict.
