She will be making about 400 of these tender bites for the Sunshine State Eggfest in the morning. Going with Carnivore Sauce to skinny dip, Sweet and Robust, if you are so inclined. Remember what MaineEgg said,...no pushing in line, no profanity and don't run off with the entire tray when Diana's back is turned. :laugh:
See ya soon.

    They look quite tasty... between the moink's and the other apps/skewer options for meatballs I think its time I get started making some.

    I hope no one runs off with the whole platter, but it would be tempting for sure! :P

    Hey Clay,
    I just checked with my son in East Tennessee and he reported that I-40 is open all the way through if you are taking that route again.
    They have had torrential rains in the mountains but so far everything is OK. :)
    Looking forward to seeing you guys again.

    They look fantastic. 400, that is a whole bunch of work. Are you forming these by hand? How many pounds of meat will that take?

    Thanks for the news on the pass through the Smokies. Yes we are going that route. East Tennessee is very nice, might stay over in Knoxville again, don't no. This time we are taking three days to drive down instead of two. It's a vacation, right?
    I'm looking forward to fun, great food and R&R. Will be good to see you again.

    Diana just shouted back to me after asking her, "6 pounds" she says. The meat balls are small, walnut sized, she says and yes they are formed by hand. A sit down job. It's her cook, she can do whatever she wants. :P

    Thanks, they are tender and are lightly smoked with hickory. She will be handing out the recipe at the fest, perhaps she can get it in the forum cookbook when we get back.

    Tell her thank you very much, they really look wonderful. I sure would love to taste one.

    When I cook home made meatballs for the kids & grand kids it takes me almost 4 hours. We make them about 2" in diameter.

    You two have a great time at the fest.

    My best, Kent
