JSM'S BEGGING FOR BANNING THREAD #4

[trimmonthelake]

Hope everyone is having a good day!

Northern, If you get a chance, would you mind going into your recipe box for me? I need a quick and tasty recipe for meatballs. Everytime I make them, my family groans and says they taste like my meatloaf    And I will admit that my meatloaf sucks! 

Thank you so much!

Good Morning, I wish I did, but the last ones I made you could have used as a weapon 

  Not good when our food can be used for purposes other eating! I don't know why, but everytime I make them, they turn out just horrible! We haven't had them in so long, and I really, really want them today! 

Gizzie I know Trimm has some good recipes and I was just back visiting my Grama and she made her famous meatballs and gravy - I always ask her for the recipe and mine never turn out the way hers do but here is her ingredients;

Ground Beef - not real lean - she used 6 pounds - so you may want to cut this in half
Chopped Onion - amount based on your preference
2 Eggs Beaten
Milk - 1-2 cups
3 Handfuls of Oatmeal
Salt and Pepper to taste

Mix together lightly - she says don't overmix - and the consistency should be rather moist so I guess that will determine how much milk to use........fry on stove till browned on all sides - add some beef broth and water to the pan to loosen all the yummies - add mushrooms and cream mushroom soup and then in the oven at 325 for half hour to 45 minutes. 

All I can say is it is a delish meal when she makes it - I hope this helps.   

Yummy.    I copy recipes from NorthernRose,and Fanny has a ymmy poundcake recipe.     I ate it all but 1 piece.

JSM,before hubby left for his Dr.appt. he said you need a shot of whiskey.He doesn't think he has time to bring today.      

[Northern Rose]

Just got caught up on the thread.  Boys you guys have been talkative!

Fanny - so glad you had a nice dinner last night.  Salmon ...YUM!.  I have a really easy salmon cakes recipe that you can substitute tuna or whatever fish you want.  One of my favourites for a fast lunch as they freeze really well and nuke really well.

JSM - sorry to hear you are still feeling ill.  I will have to check out your duster.  I have heavily invested in Roomba's.  (http://store.irobot.com/home/index.jsp).  My mom won one at her senior's centre and gave it to me.  It picks up more then my regular vacuum because it autoamtically adjusts to different levels (area rugs on hardwood, etc.) especially the idiot dog's hair.  I bought two more, one for the garage and one for the basement.  I get up start them all and come on the computer and my vacuuming gets done every day.   I start it and let it run then just empty the filter and container and set it back to recharge.  I was so impressed with the vacuum that I bought their Verro to run around my pool and clean it.  Again, really impressed.


Gizzie - I have many meatball recipes.  Swedish is a cream sauce, Italian in a tomato sauce , or spicy ones?


I am making schnitzel with potatoes from the garden  and a pear and custard tart for dessert tonight.

[Northern Rose]

NORTHERN ROSE, don't you have a throwaway e-mail addy? 

Yes I do!  I am thinking I need to go check it.

[joesamas mama]

Forgot my manners:

Good morning all! Anyone want to help me sort thru 901 customer databases for my mailing list? Or see 2 docs today? Or even set up a literacy program at the jail? Anyone? Bueller?

You are gone Tevye, but I would go to the doctor's office with you if I could. 

Thanks, JSM. I'm learning to be a good patient, I just listen to my iPod and watch the door so I don't miss them calling my name. I got the stupid drain out today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And you, missy, better be at home. I know, payroll and all that, but you went in early and did it and then went home to get better, right? [stern Mom-monkey icon goes here]

Hey Tevye. I didn't know you were getting the drain out today. If I had known I would have told you to take a xanax or something. Glad you are becoming a good patient.

I didn't go in at all. Just called the payroll company, told them to give everyone 80 hours and I will fix it on the next payroll in two weeks. I couldn't crawl my way out of bed this morning until 9 because I took the magic cough medicine around 4 am.

Good girl! I'm glad you're home. Maybe since you're so sick, you could con Mom into making a food delivary? But I have to ask: if you don't have cable, how do you get all those old shows? Wish we lived closer, I'd "share".

And the drain removal only hurt (LIKE HELL) for about a minute. I suspect there's worse in my future, but at least that ugly thing is gone. Do you know how hard it is to accessorize a JP(?) drain??????

I went out and got some Chinese, because I needed ciggies and mom won't deliver them. 

I bet it did hurt, I've only had a drain once, but that was in my knee and they pulled it out the day after surgery. Thought I was going to pass out on that table.

Just remember you are in my prayers and when you start your treatments there is a lot of tricks I learned with my friends treatment that I can share if you need me to.

Call out to Fanny - Poundcake Recipe please - I love poundcake and I might not even save 1 piece 

[joesamas mama]

I'm glad you stayed home JSM    Trimm I haven't been on West's blog, I go to Crabbies Hollywood, The D Listed, Perez Hilton  The Superficial and TMZ and others 

Thanks No Rose, I am glad I did too, except for my television programs I am watching are really interesting. First I watched Bonanza, now Ironside. Not sure what comes on next, I'm sure looking forward to it. 

I don't mind Ironside, but I'm so sick of Bonanza 

I only liked the episodes with Hop Sing in them.

The Chinese cook? Why?

Cause we would have Chinese food on many of Sunday nights that Hop Sing would deliver.

I bought a Shark Steam Mop, as seen on tv.

And does it work?

Works fine, just make sure you have some of the extra cleaning pads cause it really picks up the dirt.

Thanks CC, may have to pick one up! 

My grandson watches all these commercials and makes lists of what we need.   
I may have to try this.

I loved that show - and CC your Andy Griffith story about killed me!

[Tevye]

Sheriff Andy Taylor, a widow whose wife had died under mysterious circumstances, and his young illegitimate son Richie "Opie short for opium" Cunningham (Ron Howard) live, work and breed in the rural North Carolina town of Mayberry. He also had a black son, Demetrius, but he was rarely seen, and on the rare occasion he made an appearance, was passed off as Floyd's kid. Sheriff Taylor was also the town's justice of the peace, and as such dispensed summary judgments. Whenever the punishment was death, he played the executioner as well, proving that it's perfectly okay for one man to wield so much power with little or no oversight whatsoever. In Mayberry, it is said, absolute power does not corrupt absolutely, it just makes your loins tight.

The first episode begins with their family housekeeper getting married (by Andy, justice of the peace, priest, pastor and rabbi) and moving away. This sets up the arrival of Andy's Aunt "Bee" Beatrice (Frances Bavier) who moves in to help take care of young Opie. Opie soon learned that the music group "Queen" knew what they were talking about when they wrote the song "Fat Bottom Girls".
 
Life after The Andy Griffith Show proved hard for Opie. Opie is a precocious kid and amateur thug. Most episodes of The Andy Griffith Show started by showing him murder one or more of the residents of Mayberry. Later, when an innocent man is accused of the murder, Andy (defense attorney and professional detective) must find the real murderer before the end of the episode, so that he and Opie can go fishing during the closing credits. One of the more controversial episodes, "Fishing", simply had Andy (as cop, judge and executioner) find, try, and execute an innocent man during the opening credits, so that he and Opie could spend more time fishing because, as Opie said, "They're really bitin' today, Pop!".

Hmm, since I am the only one who likes the Swedish ones, I guess I'll take a spicy one. And the salmon pattie one too please. Mine are always dry.   

I used to be able to cook a lot of things, a loonngg time ago, but I just can't remember so many of them. 

Thank yoouu!

I've been doing the same thing, copying them as I see them. Have a nice little collection going on!

Well them this should put the nail in the coffin...     

As a TV series, Petticoat Junction seemed lighthearted, if insipid, but certain clues give a hint as to the Shady Rest's real nature. The show always started with the girls' petticoats hung over the side of the town's wooden water tank, as if the sisters were swimming nude. They were, being forced to dogpaddle in 60 feet of water until they exhausted themselves and could offer no resistance to the abusive treatment that they would subsequently receive at the hands of their supposedly beloved Uncle Joe.

Didn't Captain Kirk have some trouble with furry meatballs?

[Northern Rose]

Here is my Italian meatball recipe

1 lb ground beef
1 lb ground pork
(if you do not do pork then go with regular ground beef as the lean is too lean and dries the meatballs out.  You can also make this with ground turkey or chicken micxed with  pork as long as it is a 1lb to 1lb ratio)
3-4 cloves minced garlic
2 eggs
1 cup Romano cheese (you can substitute Parmesan or asiago cheese)
1 1/2 TBSP chopped flat leaf Italian parsley ( cilantro)
salt and ground pepper to taste ( about 1 tsp salt and 1/4 - 1/2 tsp pepper)
2 cups stale bread crumbled ( I have used fresh bread crumbled as well as but you have to cut back the water then by a bit)
1 1/4 cups lukewarm water
1 cup olive oil

Combine beef,  and pork in a large bowl. Add garlic, eggs, cheese, parsley, salt and pepper.
Blend bread crumbs into meat mixture. Slowly add the water 1/2 cup at a time. The mixture should be very moist but still hold it's shape if rolled into meatballs.   Shape into meatballs. (I usually take a small amount of the mixture and flatten it and fry it to taste for spices before I make all the meatballs).   
Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Fry meatballs in batches turning meatballs as they brown. When the meatball is very brown and slightly crisp remove from the heat and drain on a paper towel. (If your mixture is too wet, cover the meatballs while they are cooking so that they hold their shape better.)
Place cooked meatballs into  Sauce and cook for 15 more minutes
