This past weekend was the Meatball Championship Series, hosted by our very own Aaron (ala Easter Bunny fame). There were a total of nine contestants, entering various forms of meatballs (standard Italian, Swedish, weird vegetarian, nouveau cuisine, etc). The meatballs were judged in pairs, by a panel of 3 randomly selected judges (I won't go into detail, but we'll just say that some of the judging panels were, er, interesting...).
Winners from each of the four heats went onto the second round. Aaron actually went head to heat, mano a mano, against his very own father. It 
was a little intense.
was a little intense.And then it came down to the FINAL ROUND: Aaron (traditional) vs. Galapagos (nouveau). And the winner........
Not totally unexpected, but worthy of the meatball trophy.
But wait! There was still the AUDIENCE FAVORITE....
Whew. I hope that prevented any family drama.
Folks, there sure were a lot of meatballs eaten that day. I was actually in Costco the next day and it seemed as if everyone in the store was buying enormous bags of Italian meatballs. It almost made me vomit a little.
