I noramlly take the lazy route and buy the frozen ones for my tacky cliche' cocktail meatballs but I may give these a whirl for a big pot of bsketty and meatballs one weekend. I should post this in the proper tool for the job thread but, they really inproved my cookie making. Not only are my cookie finally a more uniform size I am actually getting 2 dozen cookies like the recipie says I should.

If I told, it wouldn't be a double secret project then. 
With any luck, they will be done by the Madison swap. I had something crap out on me and I won't pay the going rate for an original. Then I figured if I can make 1, I can make a bunch.

A set of HED wheels for my TT bike. Getting the tubulars off will be tedious.
A bottom bracket for my Centurion Facet. Brand new Octalink, via Amazon.

If the glue bed is not excessive, just reglue over the old.
If it is, an acetone or GooGone works fine.
Are the HEDs cf or alloy?
