So, the cravings have begun! One my new biggest obsessions is oranges...everyday I need one or two oranges...Love them! Fresh pineapple is also one of my favorites and I eat that about everyday. But, I had a craving that started last week that I was not sure I was going to be able to feed! Italian Rice Balls! I have been obsessed and on a week long quest to find them! It all started several years ago when I worked in Saratoga Springs at Empire State College. There was this little deli that had Italian rice balls once a week as a special. My colleague who was Italian used to get them and introduced them to me. She once even brought me in a homemade rice ball made by her Italian mother. To die for! But, then I moved to Troy and rice balls were no where to be found. I longed for one every once and while.
But, now being pregnant I needed to have one! While I was in NYC last week for work one of the appetizers on a menu was small risotto balls. I had two and they were wonderful but made me crave my Italian rice balls even more. So, I began looking at the menus online for local Italian restaurants to see of anyone has them...no luck. Then I started making phone calls and I tracked down my beloved rice balls today! Roma Foods in Latham is my savior! I picked them up at lunchtime. I cannot wait to get home for dinner!
