Good eats!

I'm in charge of making the grapefruit salad for the family Christmas dinner tomorrow night, and I have decided that I need to share my stepmom's poppy seed dressing recipe because it is most wonderfully tasty

Curse you, indolent wench!
Taunting me with foodiness while I am nailed to my workstation!

Have a lovely holiday--tell them I said hi.

Bah. Stupid keyboard put the 's' and 'd' keys too close together.

I dunno, I kind of like "indolent wench." ;)

In that case, we can keep it. (: *hugs*

MMMMMMMMM Recipe Swap!

Sounds yummy! I'll definitely have to give that one a try. Thought I'd share with you one of my favorites (one of my mother's traditional Christmas dishes). The smell of it cooking instantly transforms the house to that of my childhood.

Sweet & Sour Meatballs
2 lbs. hamburger: This can be made using beef, turkey, or works wonderfully with a meat substitute (non meat mix of your choice that allows you to roll it into "meat" balls).
1 onion (grated)
1 Tsp. salt
Dash of pepper
2 eggs
2 tbsp. breadcrumbs
1 small can of tomato sauce
1 small can of sliced mushrooms
1 cup water
2 bay leaves (crumbled)
7 peppercorns
Juice of one lemon
4 heaping tbsp. brown sugar

Make small meatballs (about the circumference of half dollars). Set aside, and mix all of the above ingredients in a large frying pan (best to use electric frying pan with temp. control) and let come to a boil. Next, add meatballs and allow to cook for approx. 30 minutes at 300 degrees.
