Thanks so much Lillian, yes they are joined at the top. They were a stocking stuffer for my daughter. She is pretty good with regular chop sticks now though!

Happy Blogiversary! Your Asian-flavored meatballs remind me of an appetizer my best friend’s mom used to make for parties – pork and chopped up water chestnuts were the main ingredients. I’d never had something so exotic!
