I like the fire roasted tomatoes and cognac in your sauce. I've never seen this cookbook, I will have to check it out, thanks . I've volunteered for Project Open Hand in the past, they put on a luncheon at a large hotel in SF to raise money for their projects. They feature local chefs who prepare and serve the lunch. I helped plate hundreds of lunches at the Ritz Carlton, met interesting people while we worked together, enjoyed a few laughs and were then all served lunch. I will save your meatball recipe, thanks again for sharing it;-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07726225325705989393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8778626287556834261.post-51701018735522486642011-02-07T02:35:04.243-08:002011-02-07T02:35:04.243-08:00I just made some meatballs recently as well, even ...I just made some meatballs recently as well, even though we just got over a massive heatwave, it is always nice to have comfort food.Megan @ FeastingonArthttp://www.feastingonart.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8778626287556834261.post-36693179742866394272011-02-06T18:42:54.844-08:002011-02-06T18:42:54.844-08:00Now that is one warm and hearty meal!

Lucky you to have one who also shares your passion of cooking!<br /><br />When I was in high school, I used to come home and make spaghetti and meatballs as an afternoon snack. (Thank goodness I was stick thin!) It has always been a comfort food for me, and especially stacked high with grated Parmesan cheese. I usually just wing it with the recipe, but I'll give yours a try.
