Complicated day, but came up with something new. It's my Grandaughter's seventh birthday today, and she's having a sleepover with five of her friends at my house = CHAOS!
Anyway, a full tilt Irish feast was not going to happen, so I came up with a relatively quick alternative. May I present:
ST PATRICK'S BALLS!![](https://farm1.staticflickr.com/812/39056735550_edc2b7f7bd_c.jpg)
I didn't capture all the steps, cause, you know, sleepover. Basically its a mix of processed corned beef, saurkraut, grated swiss cheese, garlic, caraway seed and cream cheese, formed into balls, then coated in flour, buttermilk and panko, then deep fried. The sauce is an amped up Russian dressing with Sriracha. Very good! I did it on my Weber Summit side burner. I hope that counts.

Oh, and with kids you have to have dogs and burgers so I broke out the Wenie Wheel and fired up the Genny Jr.

The balls were great - like a reuben with a crunchy kick. That's it for me. Wonder if I'll get any sleep tonight...cause, you know, sleepover.
