Meatballs are Back!

Meatballs and red sauce have been a love/hate relationship for us since Ben was diagnosed with food allergies at age 1. The verdict, eggs and tomatoes. Not easy to make a meatball according to my Aunt Elle's specifications. So, no meatballs graced our table since then (except for a few hidden take out subs).

Now 3, Ben has been retested and low and behold, no more food allergies. But it had been so long, we forgotten about the spherical meat, tomato covered temptresses until the John Tesh Radio show...waaaa?

Driving to NH a few weeks back, what better to guide us through the darkness than John Tesh? (I know, still...waaa?) Anywho, on this night, he spoke of the latest craze hitting America, meatballs! With the economy down, more people were cooking at home and increasing the amount of meatballs consumed per capita. Also, celebrity chefs were adopting gourmet meatballs to add to their menus. Blah, blah, blah; Intelligence for Your Life.

Getting home on Sunday nite, we didn't realize the impact of the late nite meatball discussion. We needed them and bad. A couple hours later according to Elle's meatball methods, Ben is loving meatballs.
