Makes you sound a little bit more familiar every time. <br />Balls of rice, like many other things, are so much a part of childhood meals, especially in India.

They hate being reminded, but I tell them it's for their own good or they will never be invited anywhere at dinner time! They are so small, there's plenty of time for them to learn! <br /><br />I love the look of the lamb, and the bit about telling your parents about your report card when there's no food for them to choke on made me laugh! :D BavarianSojournhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12701272367912860549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7490342346010751586.post-44735600533095122762012-10-21T22:24:05.653-07:002012-10-21T22:24:05.653-07:00Wonderful and delicious!Wonderful and delicious!Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08879281466260575379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7490342346010751586.post-56784855820842317072012-10-21T00:14:40.767-07:002012-10-21T00:14:40.767-07:00Thanks Julia, glad you like it :)Thanks Julia, glad you like it :)Piahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03933646544634162981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7490342346010751586.post-91779823692853422612012-10-19T13:55:50.033-07:002012-10-19T13:55:50.033-07:00I love lamb in all its expressions.
