I still remember the first time I had a fried mac and cheese ball. I was working at one of the Broadway shows and got offered some of the leftovers of the cocktail party that happened at the lobby during the afternoon. I got down there and all that was left were some of these fried balls – I had no idea what they were. I bit one, very cautiously, afraid it would be fish (I hate fish!) and almost fainted! It was out-of-this-world good! Like, I ran to tell my co-workers to come get some before they were gone and then immediately regretted it. I should have eaten them all by myself! So then I decided I would have to recreate them at home. And I did… And they taste amazing, might I dare say better than the ones I had that day! (Ohhhh I’m so modest! :P)
