He was motivated to make it himself, but didn't realize you had to prepare the cheese mixture the night before. After a couple of margaritas down at Ixtapa, he was in no way able to whip up a cheese ball the night before Thanksgiving.
so...
who do you turn to when you want to make the ultimate cheese ball, but your husband is too tipsy and you are a bit tipsy yourself?
One of my favorite tipsy & cheesy ladies, Amy Sedaris, has the ultimate cheese ball recipes in I Like You - Hospitality under the Influence. An appropriate book, appropriate title, works for cooking under the influence too!
Open book & turn to page 117
Adding the nuts the next day, completely sober mind you ;-)
Turn to page 181 and add steal a couple ingredients from her "Lil'smoky Cheese Ball" recipe (smoked Gouda & butter)
Presto, magic! "The Heavyset Cheese Ball", originally known as "The NutSnacker" by Kraft, comes to life.
Must be served with Ritz crackers for that extra cheesy effect.
Since my husband Matt claimed all night that he actually made the cheese ball himself, our friend Jay and I changed it's name to:
"Matt's Cheesy Nut Cone"
