Madi's Meatballs
10 years ago
Madi and Maci came to play with me yesterday, their Dad was having a root canal and Mom was helping her Dad at his store. Madi decided that Dad needed to have some soup, because his mouth would be sore. What kind of soup? Dad likes meat, but he can't chew it. How about something with meatballs?
She had never heard of Italian Wedding Soup and I've never eaten it or made it, but she thought it would be very cool, because it's for weddings. I'm game, so meatballs it is!
First you have to mix all the meat and eggs and cheese and stuff together. It looks pretty yucky. It feels even more yucky.
When that's all mixed, you take Grandma's good scooper, and scoop meatballs. See how easy?
Scoop them all out onto a pan, until the meat is all used up. That little tiny one is for Maci.
Then go back to Grandma's pantry and shop in her good stuff. She says we need two quarts of chicken broth that she canned, and a pint of kale. I think we could leave that green stuff right out, but she says it has to go in. Oh, and we need some pasta.
Grandma chopped the carrots because I can't use the sharp knives yet, and then she got the broth really hot and we put everything in and cooked it for a while. It looked like this:
It was very snowy and so Makayla came over to play too, it was a snow day off of school! Hurray, I love to play with Makayla. She helped me make brownies and then we made bread to go with the soup.
I had to test the bread to make sure it was good for Dad. Grandma made me a sandwich with her homemade raspberry jam, I liked it and shared it with Maci. Grandma said I had more on my face than in my tummy, but I think she was wrong.
Or maybe not.
And Daddy LOVED the soup.

Comments (19)The good thing about your last photoshop post is that you are trying out forms and sizes and location. That is a good start. Even though you have used examples of actual plants, it gives you the chance to see what the "form" and shape do there. That lets you see what form looks good , and then you can check in books or other forums (although you've been given some good suggestions for actual shrubs here, too) for the actual shrubs. The ones you've got there are too architectural for you home, as noted by vicki. In general you are trying to work too tightly up against the house and in those corners. As several people have noted you need not just make the beds bigger, but move them out more from the house. That is necessary not only for the size of shrub that you need, which need to be more closely proportioned to the decking and stair height, but also because you need a couple of feet of breathing room behind the mature extent of the shrubs, to protect your home's exterior, from both the mounding of any soil and some breathing room behind the branches of the shrubs. So the plantings would be generally in those areas but more loosely around the house corner and extending more to the base of the stairs and maybe a bit along the sidewalk, more billowy/arching. If you are going to sell in a year then the most important thing is that nothing appears to have impaired the home structure or grown weedy/messy or look hard to change, and it may not matter at all what the landscape design looks like, other than that some plantings will have more innate appeal than others....See MoreWhat's For Dinner #334
Comments (103)Thanks, Di! They are actually pretty quick to do after you do a few, I call them the "5 second frosting job". (grin) Even if they aren't perfect, they're fast! Party-music, I like kale with beans too. Well, I actually like beans and I like kale, so it's kind of a natural combo for me and kale is super easy to grow, so I always have some. Those little "sprinkles" on top of the cupcakes are something called "pearls", she had a black and white wedding, and regular sprinkle were just too small, so I bought the bigger pearls at one of the hobby stores that have a cake decorating section, probably Michael's or Hobby Lobby. I think they were a Wilton product. There's another tip you can use too, but I don't know what it is, because I don't remember anything any more. (sigh) Sol, my friend, I'm so glad to see you check in here again. Yes, Madison is just as "hammy" as Makayla was, a drama queen in the making. Or is that Drama Princess?

Comments (103)Party_music, here is the recipe. It is from the Robin Hood Flour website. Apple Cranberry Muffins Like most recipes, even using the first time I made minor adjustments. Here is the link to the original recipe:http://www.robinhood.ca/.../Apple-Cranberry-Crumble-Muffins and the recipe with my minor adjustments. Basically using butter instead of oil.

Comments (104)No 100 for this WFD is my post about matcha. ( green tea powder) Do I like it ? Meh it's alright but not terribly impressed. I tried it as a tea made with hot milk. Then because I could detect a faint seaweed smell, I next made pancakes with smoked salmon which were nice but so were DH's non matcha ones according to him. He didn't want matcha after smelling it. There is still some left so I will gradually use it but I wouldn't go out of my way ( ( which I already did) to purchase it again. Jasdip, the strawberries are tiny in real life so it didn't occur to me that they looked like lychee but I can see where you are coming from in the photo....See More- 10 years ago
