Name: Herbed-And-Spiced Goat-Cheese Balls

Sin is still here. It is just that people do not so willingly acknowledge that fact. A spade is no longer called a spade, but some euphemism. The little boy says to his mother, “Why is it whenever I do anything bad, it’s because I’m a bad boy; but whenever you do anything bad, it’s because you’re nervous?” It is nerves rather than sin. It is our glands rather than sin. It is what we eat, the environment, our biorhythm, rather than sin, it is anything but sin. Sin denies that it is sin.

INSTRUCTIONS

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Form 1 tablespoon of the goat
cheese into a small ball. Transfer to the baking sheet. Continue with the
remaining cheese. Refrigerate the balls for 10 minutes to set slightly.
Place the parsley, chives, thyme, pecans, and pepper in 5 separate bowls.
Roll about 6 balls in each of the 5 coatings, and set aside.
To make the paprika band, sprinkle the paprika in a straight line on a
cutting board. Straighten the edges of the paprika with a knife. Roll 6 of
the balls down the line to form a strip of paprika on them.
To make a dot of curry on the 6 remaining balls, place the curry in a
sieve, cover half of each ball with a wide knife, and sprinkle the curry
over the other half.
Pour the olive oil onto a serving platter. Sprinkle the oil with red-pepper
flakes. Arrange the goat-cheese balls on the platter, and serve with
toothpicks on the side.
Makes 3 1/2 dozen.
