I trust everyone is having a very generous Boxing Day and that the leftovers you sent home to your servants' families were of the highest caliber. Had I a staff, their loved ones would probably be confused this year upon unboxing what can only be described as an absurd number of edible balls.
I have already been asked by several people why my family had a Christmas dinner composed entirely of balls, to which I have mostly responded with a tired "I don't know." That's not 100% accurate. My brother and I joked about an all-ball meal at various points over the past 20 years, and in our family that is exactly the type of bluff that will eventually be called.
AND ANSWERED. |
Sure it's silly, but everyone was 100% on board!
Even Dan got into the spirit, creating a highly festive Chex Mix ball.
We awarded him Nicest Try. |
Sadly, this was a grueling process that drove him to the very brink of madness.
He is still clutching those tongs, three days later. |
For the most part, though, this was a resounding success. A reROUNDing success.
Did I mention that I am tired. |
Anyway, that is a thing that happened in my life, which is what you come here to find out about I guess.
Thumbs up, would create an entire menu around a geometrical theme again. |
Next time I will tell you about the pudding.
I know, but it would be wrong to pretend it just never happened.
You can make some balls of your own while you wait:
