The snow has all but melted and the thaw nearly over. Its that icky time of the year when nature can’t decide if its still winter or time for spring.
Yesterday, while the guys hauled trailers & set up for the Louisville RV & Boat show….Erika, Evelyn & I spent the afternoon in Louisville at the Home Remodel Show. Danielle was able to get free tickets so other than gas is was a nice free afternoon out. We thought it was the annual Home & Garden show…boy were we surprised. If we need our gutters cleaned, windows replaced or basement sealed we had it made….not a gardening vendor in sight. Then we looked at the banners again….OOPS! Still it was a nice change of pace & we spent some fun time together.
Our tired and hungry guys came home to a supper of meatballs & brown gravy over a bed of noodles, home canned corn, homemade apple sauce & fresh from the oven bread with fresh butter. I wish I knew which site to credit but, recently I saw a cooking tip about making meat balls…instead of leaving your mix in the bowl & rolling from there guessing the amount for each ball, I placed a piece of wax paper on a cookie sheet, spread the meat ball mix out evenly & placed in the fridge for an hour or so until it was nice and firm. I then sliced it off in a grid like a checkerboard for premeasured amounts for meat balls!
There are hundreds of meatball recipe’s but this is what I used
1 lb lean sausage
1 lb (YUMMY) venison or ground beef
1 small onion
1 clove crushed garlic
1/2 cup minced carrots & celery each (they never knew)
1 cup crushed bread crumbs (helps as a binder)
salt, pepper & general seasonings to taste.
Its a basic recipe to use with many sauces, tomato or spaghetti sauce…or use the drippings in the pan to make a brown gravy.
What’s a quick meal in your freezer?
Sounds so good to me, but I have all but given up cooking. Last night I made teriyaki beef over rice. Stan was sick all night. Meaning he could not sleep. We narrowed it down to the fact that there is probably msg in the soy sauce. Do not know what else could have caused it.
ReplyDeletemy next endeavor, I have been looking for recipes for things to tuck away in the freezer which will actually get eaten! I actually trade with a client for three make ahead meals per massage. Of course, her food is fabulous, and the family tells me to massage her every week!
ReplyDeleteOh Evy! Hope hes feeling better! I've heard teriyaki dos that to quite a few others.
ReplyDeleteKaryn,what a great trade off!

ReplyDeleteI am the kind of guy who enjoys to taste innovative things. Currently I'm building my private pv panels. I'm doing it all by myself without the aid of my men. I'm using the internet as the only path to acheive this. I came across a really amazing site that explains how to make solar panels and so on. The site explains all the steps needed for constructing pv panels.
ReplyDeleteI'm not exactly sure about how correct the info given there is. If some experts over here who had xp with these things can have a see and give your feedback in the thread it would be grand and I would extremely treasure it, cause I really lav solar panel construction.
Tnx for reading this. U guys are the best.
Opulently I agree but I contemplate the brief should acquire more info then it has.
