What about starting the year with a Fun Challenge?
After reading A queasy recipe, Alan Mitchell’s less than enthusiastic review of Seth Godin new opus Meatball Sundae (Portfolio/ Penguin), I thought we might be able to come up with some traditional to creative Meatball Recipes.
The only guidelines I would suggest is your recipe must not sacrifice substance for style.
This is the main criticism Alan Mitchell makes of Meatball Sundae, he concludes his column with the following words: "Ultimately, though, the dish he (Seth Godin) serves up is more like a dog’s dinner,
with anything and everything thrown in, than a carefully considered
recipe for successful change."
My friend Jimmy once came up with ‘Rabbit Meatballs with Tequila Beurre Blanc’.
What would you offer?
Send us your recipes or publish them on your blog and send us the link to your story.
Deadline is January 24.
Use the ‘Tag’ Meatballs for Seth
Recent food bite: Is Istanbul the place to go for Foodies in 2008
at least he spelled my name right.
what he missed, imho, is the fact that the book doesn’t promise to tell you how to change! That’s not what it’s about. It’s about the imperative to choose.
Sigh.

Poor Seth!
If you haven’t seen the movie ‘Ratatouille’, then rent it and watch the food critic’s “It’s easier to judge then create.” mea culpa at the end.
Here’s a meatball recipe that was born of the imperative to change:
