Heck, no, Dan. I'd never disavow you. Do you put anything on a hot
dog? Are you gonna disavow your wife because of the ketchup or because
of the hot dog?

I guess. I was thinking only of how big they'd be to get 75 of them
from a pound, not so much about what they'd be used for. Do you measure
the meat and roll or just eyeball it? Do you roll 'em with your hands?
I think I'd be sorely tempted to roll a log about 3/4" diameter and cut
'coins' about 1/2" thick and call it a meatball.

Because of the catsup. I used to put catsup on my hot dogs, but now I'm
all growed up. I put mustard on. My wife can't stand mustard. She
went to the In&Out with a friend. The friend said to try the hamburger
"animal style". My wife was sick all afternoon. When I explained that
"animal style" meant that they put mustard on it before frying it, she
understood why she had gotten sick.

I don't think so. I believe you're thinking of Stephanie daSilva.

Eeww. I like both catsup and moutard on my hot dogs; usually just
ketchup on my burgers. Unless I get one at Mickey's.

I made a vat of beef broth on Friday and was considering making some
marble-size meatballs and dropping them into the broth to cook but then
fishing them out to use in another dish. Even if I rolled them into
balls, starting out from the log-and-coin would be a good plan. You'd
be tempting me but I had the good sense to freeze the ground beef I
didn't use for last night's burgers.

This method -- log roll-and-cut works great for cookies, too, btw.

<Barb hangs head in mortal shame and tries to disappear beneath her
computer> I did not. Too damn lazy and not enough time before I had to
be out the door. I thought about it, though . . . . .
I just finished bagging about nine 2-cup bags of chicken broth. I
didn't roast the chicken backs, either. I added powdered/paste base
to both the beef and the chicken.

You are brilliant. That wouldn't have occurred to me in a million
years, but it's a terrific solution. That might also work for cookies
shaped by hand that take forever to roll.

I spread the meat out in a rectangular casserole dish to an even
thickness and then mark out a grid pattern with a knife and use the grid
pattern to create same sized meatballs. A Martha Stewart trick.
