Dinner last night

I made turkey meatballs last week, and froze a bunch of them for future meals. They came in handy when friends were unexpectedly in town last night. Meatballs are one of those things you should always make extra of, I think - if you're going to stick your hands in a pile of meat, you might as well stick your hands in a HUGE pile of meat.

Try adding some scallions to that salad sometime! For some reason, feta, scallions and balsamic vinegar work together really well. Mmmm...love romaine!
Where to get the recipe for that cake?
I've never made GB with fresh garlic, is it a different taste or a better one?
The way I make meatballs is pretty simple, breakcrumbs, onion, parsley, egg, salt and papper. Do you fry or bake them, or cook them in sauce? I fry them sometimes, the Greek way (olive oil for everything) but it comes out very heavy; if I bake them they aren't crispy on the outside and moist on the inside like when they are fried but also aren't as heavy. I think one thing that makes meatballs very good is grated onion...with the juices. The onion juice adds an element of moisture and sweetness to them.
We just had grilled cheese and canned soup...:-(

The cake can be found in Nigella Lawson's wonderful baking cookbook, How to Be a Domestic Goddess: Baking and the Art of Comfort Cooking.
The book is a great addition to any kitchen - I have been pleased with everything I've made out of it, including lavender cupcakes! I have it in hardcover, but it's now in paperback for only about 13 bucks.

As for the meatballs, I cook them in sauce. I want to try the other methods as well, and I'm definitely going to try your trick of the onion. I've made hamburgers with grated/chopped onion inside before, and they've always turned out very well.

I am a big fan of the olive oil - I don't think a meal goes by without involving it in some way.
