Health & Fitness Tip #22

In general, avoid ingesting foods that end with the word "ball." While a meal consisting entirely of cheeseballs, meatballs and cakeballs may sound like a delightful idea, you will inevitably wake up the next morning (as mild and lovely as the day may be) feeling like a lardball.

I'm so glad I saw this in time. My wife was planning to make a feta cheeseball for the holidays. I still have time to intervene.

Thanks.

I've never had a cakeball... sounds interesting.

Feta cheeseball! That sounds incredible (but this, of course, is how I get myself in trouble).

As for the cakeballs: divine. JoAnna gave me the recipe. It involves baking a cake, stirring in 3/4 a container of frosting; roll into bite-size balls while its still warm; freeze the balls twelve or so hours; dip the balls in whatever is dippable & hardening (she recommended Almond bark; I subbed unsweetened baking chocolate). WaLa. Small children will yelp; adults will weep. Really. They're that good.

But I do like a good highball every now and then (or does this show my age?)
