Hi everyone or anyone, Can anyone possibly give me the reciepe out of the Feb. 2009 issue on page 32-33 for spiced meatballs in fragrant tomato sauce?

After going back to the store and calling them several times to see if anyone turned it in--- no LUCK!! I am very bummed, can anyone help out??? Thanks so much!

Welcome to the forum, 432. You're not the first one to have left the magazine in the shopping cart. A few other members, here, have related similar experiences.

Denise reviewed that recipe, a while back, and really liked it but, so far, the recipe hasn't been posted in the forum.

She or one of the others will probably be able to type it in later. Unfortunately, I don't have it, but I did want to welcome you to the forum and acknowledge your request so that you know someone has read it. Just keep an eye out for it and I'm sure it will be posted soon.

I made these when the issue first came out and they were very good, and very good as leftovers. Thank you for reminding me about this! Perhaps this and the 5-spice tilapia from the same issue will be on the menu in the coming week.
