If I counted right it is almost 60 meatball recipes and it is only Tuesday. I am not sure how you are going to choose a recipe when by the looks of them they all have merit. Can't wait to see how many more entries are in by Thursday.

Have any of you tried the meatballs from A16 Food + Wine cookbook? Seriously, the best ever. I've made them so many times I could make them in my sleep. Since it's not my recipe, I won't submit it, but for any meat lovers out there, you have to try them.

Just a question about what a meatball is for this contest: Are vegetarian variations ok? Does a meatball need to be round? So would an oval falafel be legitimate? Just wondering. Thanks.

Your recipe should contain actual meat -- sorry about that! But the shape is up to you...

I love the Food52 tote bag, and I have a lovely meatball recipe to try to get it. Mrs. Larkin, good luck waiting on the repair people. I guess you'll just have to go out to eat.

Wow, you have left the door wide open on this one. This will be really interesting to see all the different ekes on one of my favorite foods.

Sounds like that wonderful children's story-cloudy today, but chance of meatballs tomorrow.

Have fun everyone. Mrs. Larkin is out of a range again. And looks like the fridge is dead too. Mrs. Larkin is not a happy camper. But at least the Fios guy fixed our connection so I can decompress by reading all your yummy meatball submissions while I wait for the Sears guy to come next week.

If you lived closer, you would be welcome to come over to cook! Western Mass may be a bit far, though.
