Then he realized they were making them and eating them right afterward. His friend had to go to the store to get more ingredients for all the spinach balls they ate. These days I have to watch potassium levels due to kidney damage when I lost my sight, but I'll save up potassium consumption for these spinach balls. My grandmother worked at a prominent private university and was involved with the fundraising department, so she was always at functions and always picking up new recipes and other stuff like this. (That's what the AFM designator is for category, BTW -- those recipes came from her files) So it was always wonderful to go to things she hosted, because you'd find new things like Ranch Oyster Crackers, her original Trash! Recipe, (Chex mix in its original form) or any of the marvelous dips she found through friends, family, and social connections. And if anyone wants any of the above recipes referenced in this little trip down memory lane, let me know. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Debbra Piening Sent: Sunday, December 18, 2011 8:20 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [CnD] Spinach Balls Thanks so much, Nicole, I'm always looking for new appetizers, and I'm definitely going to try this one! -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Nicole Massey Sent: Sunday, December 18, 2011 6:56 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [CnD] Spinach Balls Yes.
