German Meatballs
"This is from Cooking Light, 1995. The description there says: The Worcestershire sauce and mustard boost the flavor of this dish considerably, so choose a delicate, well-balanced Riesling from either Alsace or the Pacific Northwest. Some of the reviews from the other site say this: Substituted Old Bay Seasoning for the salt, doubled the mustard, and used Panko Japanese Bread Crumbs. The Riesling is absolutely essential; don't substitute other wines. The light fruity pear and apple tones of a good Calif. or Washington Riesling is what makes this dish. The sauce was a bit runny, but 1 tsp. of cornstarch thickened it nicely.
Prep and cooking times are approximate. Have not tried this yet, posted for ZWT 2010."

<p>Hello all, being from California, I can honestly say I am a foodie. You can walk by construction workers here and hear them saying things like, So I used some fresh garlic and olive oil, then threw the rest into the pan to sautee. LOL I love all kinds of food, and trying to eat healthier as I get older, but still indulge in the occasional deep-fried food or sweet. <br />I LOVE this site! I have 3 or 4 other food sites such as Epicurious and Food Network, but I always come back here! The ease and all of the features just can't be beat. <br />Thanks Zaar and I look forward to participating more.</p>
