Recipe from the Adcock Family Traditions Cookbook 1997 and this recipe is
from Mary and Martha Myers of Wadesboro, NC.
My bride did the above on 01-06-09. They were absolutely
delicious! My part on this recipe was simply mix the ingredients
and take a few pixs along the way. I didn't take a pix of the
ingredients being mixed by hand to keep the camera working...grin!
Below a few sequence pixs taken along the way: Click on thumbnails

My bride was rolling the meat balls out and about three fourths of the
way through stated, "My balls are getting bigger" and we both had a
good laugh......you grin too. She was getting tired from rolling out
the meat balls and they were getting larger toward the end subconsciously
making them larger to hurry up and get the job finished. Again, it was
definitely a good fun laugh for sure!
