Notes: Aunt Boops made it a point to let me know Gram insisted on exactly 13 meatballs per pound. She would hold Boops to that every time. She also threw a few balls to cook in the sauce which some of us preferred. I can remember Gram standing at the stove and could not wait until she called me to be the "royal taster" to make sure meatballs were ready. I would always snitch a few more after that. Didn't realize till now that she must have known since she was so particular about exactly 13 balls per pound!
