Bolita Di Keshi (Cheese Balls)
"Another Caribbean recipe! This time it's cheese balls that would be great as an appetizer or snack! (You may want to use a combination of the sharp cheese and some Gouda or Edam cheese for a more authentic Dutch Caribbean flavor!) Prep time includes time for dough to set 1 hour; cook time is estimate on how long each cheese ball cooks in oil"

(As many of you know Silent Cricket passed away on Feb. 29. Since she loved Recipezaar so much and so many on Recipezaar have shown their love for her, and have enjoyed her recipes, her personal information will remain here indefinitely just as she wrote it. Her lines at the end of this section sound somewhat prophetic as the last chapter of her earthly existence has been written.)
Well, the time has come for me to change my users' name. After being, "OzCoMartha" because of having lived for three years in Australia and then moving to Colorado, I have decided to "turn over a new leaf." I chose this name because many moons ago I used to be able to "chirp" like a cricket and the "silent" refers to the present time when I'm taking a break...But, perhaps after a season, however long I decide that needs to be, I may be back and then I will fill in more details about myself...
