Memories from the Great Depression seem more relevant today than ever. The New York Times is starting a series of video conversations about that painful past and the uncertain future.

This is more an idea than a recipe since I don't have quantities. Our old neighbors always made the BEST homemade BBQ sauce but he absolutely refused to share the recipe with us. Then they got divorced.

These meatballs are great for just about any occasion but since there will be lots of potluck Christmas parties coming up I thought I'd post these now. My hubby also loves these when he has the guys over to watch football. I got this recipe from a gal I work with but hers were for baked beans and I thought the sauce would be great with meatballs too.
