The Supreme Meatball

"Honest…the supreme meatball! Even my Italian friends secretly beg me for the recipe as they don’t want to offend their Nona’s. The addition of the lemon zest creates this phenomenally rich flavour and you will find that you can’t eat as many with your pasta as you usually would. Since these little wonders are bursting with flavour I add them to a simple “bath” (tomato sauce) so the ingredients don’t play Gladiator with each other. I will be posting the “bath” recipe shortly. The recipe is from Canada Cooks Pasta but I’ve altered it to lower the carb and fat content."

Photo of my crazed brother taken at a wedding at "The Doctor's House" in Kleinburg, Ontario. He and the statue did not get along very well..she was terribly rude! Formerly from the highlands of Scotland and residing in Toronto with wee Angus, my transwestite. http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/65803/Angus%20smiling.jpg The incessant whining I endure when performing the morning makeup ritual leads me to believe he has a thing for eyeliner. When the working part of the day is over I find myself body thrashing at the gym or writing bizarre poetry and plays. I was involved in theatre for many years but our company folded when we lost our theatre. (Where did it go?)
