Hey Sharon--
Thanks, next time I make it, I'm going to use turkey for sure. I too find that meat in the supermarket comes in pretty large quantities, I guess you could always try splitting it in half and freezing the rest.... but if you're happy with 49 balls, then I'm happy! 
So a chemical engineer is probably the most multifaceted of all engineers...can do anything from designing a chemical plant (blech, I am in the middle of designing an ethanol plant using landfill trash as a starting product...) to designing better materials for things like artificial organs (theres always a need for more natural materials that your body won't attack or possibly reject) to cleaning up water, pollution, etc. They can work in the food industry (think M&Ms, all the different colors in huge batch reactors), in the pharmaceutical idustry, or they can go on to become doctors, lawyers....
Hmm, to tell you the truth, though currently I haven't a clue what I want to do. Since I live in AZ, the normal track for chemEs with bachelors is to work at Intel or Motorola (did you know Phoenix is considered silicon desert?? Interesting tid bit  I worked at Intel for one summer, and boy did my IBS flare! Too much stress, too long of work hours, and not to mention, i really dont see how helping to make computer chips run faster fits into the bigger picture (don't get me wrong, I LOVE my computer...)
Lately I've become really stressed (more so than usual, especially since I graduate soon) trying to figure out if all the hard work is worth it, and if I'll find a job I truly love, yadda yadda.... I just hope that somewhere I find something I truly enjoy that makes a difference. Who knows, I might end up being one of the few people with doctorates in chemical engineering teaching high school chemistry. LOL!
Thanks for your inquiry...
