About

Lately, I’ve been addicted to roast pork with dried fennel seeds added. Then I started thinking about how pork meatballs would be. Meatballs are great! They’re wonderful as an entrée and appetizer also. You get big flavor without spending a lot of money. These are so delicious with the ginger.
