Wow, everything looked so yummy. I’m making that cabbage with miso butter and pistachios…today! I just had to share that I remembered making cheese balls in the 1970’s with my mother. It was a great family project to enjoy and give away, Is there anyone who doesn’t like cheese? Around Christmas, my mother made smaller cheese balls and made them look like ornaments. She rolled the cheese balls with various toppings like dried fruit and nuts and then took a few chives to make a loop at the top…as if you would hang it on a tree. Thanks for sharing and bringing back fond memories from the kitchen.
