Hey, Jim hon - I am going to be making these this weekend and can't wait. Oh yeah. However, I am totally intrigued by your grandmother's recipe for Lebanese Scotch Eggs. Do you have some guidance or a recipe for those? Pretty please? They sound oh-so delightful and I'd love to try them. Thanks so much! ;-)~ Vickie
