I think we made it........:-)
Comments (13)My yard is so new, first plantings December 05, that other yards around me are bursting forth more quickly. However, almost all my heather is now in bloom, and the first daffodil bloomed yesterday. Lots of swelling buds and feathering pink elongating twigs. The catkins on the salix smithiana have gone from downy silver fuzz to bright yellow pom-poms. The blueberries are leafing. The red horse chestnut buds are swelling huge. The red maple is red-flowering. Candy tuft blooming. Grass growing, clover re-shamrocking out. Miniature ivy thriving. Vinca blooming and going crazy with heavy new growth. Yippeee! Catmint coming up. Some willows getting little bright green leaves. Crocosmia shoots coming up. Ajuga quickly showing signs of life, going from flattened chocolate to green. Crocus already done. Thujas slowly turning from grey-brown to green. Weeds popping up everywhere. Slugs multiplying. Birds chasing each other. Frogs chorusing. Water running strong in creeklets. Air so fragrant with daphne flowering. Clematis armandii starting to bloom white. Birds starting to eat ripe Nellie Stevens holly berries. Magnolia buds swelling. Photinia fraseri bright red, new buds. Rhodies perking up, getting greener. Sun is beautiful when it comes out. Not too hot yet. Lots of luscious rain, lovely wet rain to nurture those roots, mist the evergreens and give me a break from watering :-) Hail Spring!...See MoreMeatballs and more meatballs
Comments (58)Hey PK! Glad to hear from you. I make a sweet and sour sauce very close to what PK makes. I use it for sweet and sour pork but it would be great on meatballs now that I see Pete's recipe. 1/2 cup salad oil 1 clove garlic 2 green peppers, quartered 1 1/2 to 2 lbs pork tenderloin, cubed 2 eggs 3 TBSP flour 1 tsp salt pinch pepper 1 cup chicken broth 1 can pineapple chunks, drained 1 TBSP corn starch 3 tsp soya sauce 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup white vinegar 1 TBSP molasses Parboil peppers for 5 minutes. Saute garlic in oil. In separate bowl, beat flour, eggs and seasonings. Dip the pork in the mixture and brown in the oil. Pour off excess oil add broth, pineapple and peppers. Cover and simmer 20 minutes. Blend remaining ingredients. Add to pork. Stir until thick. For meatballs forget the pork, flour and eggs. Dice rather than quarter the peppers so I would forget the parboil part. Continue from the broth part on. I've talked myself into trying this I think it would be yummy! Maybe it's too much but I'd go for a Sweet and Sour, a Marinara, a BBQ and a Swedish style, actually a Mexican sauce could be could too. That's it !! Have a meatball station!

Comments (16)I also make my own cheese, mostly mozzarella and ricotta, I even took a local cheesemaking class a couple of years ago and posted pictures here. I also make my own yogurt using my Excalibur dehydrator. Mozzarella is dead easy once you get the hang of it, and delicious, plus you can make a batch of ricotta out of the whey when you are done with the mozzarella. Not much ricotta, but a little. Or you can just make a batch of ricotta if you are so inclined. I have the Ricki Carroll book, there are lots of good ideas in there, and I usually just use the "30 minute mozzarella" recipe that is all over the internet if you look for Ricki Carroll. She's called the "Cheese Queen", LOL. Annie Here is a link that might be useful: Ricki Carroll 30 Minute Mozzarella...See MoreOK - I bought some of those frozen meatballs
Comments (18)These may be made as appetizers and kept warm in a chafing dish, or served as an entree over rice. This will freeze well and may be made well in advance. Serves 6-8. Ingredients: 1/2 cup cooking oil 1 1/2 lb. lean ground beef 1 garlic clove, minced 1/2 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. pepper 1/2 cup chicken stock 1 - 14 oz. can pineapple chunks, drained. (Reserve juice) 3 Tbsp. cornstarch 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup reserved pineapple juice 1/2 cup vinegar 3 Tbsp. soy sauce Optional: 1 large tomato, peeled and chopped 2 large green peppers, cut in 1" squares Instructions: Heat oil in frying pan. Add meatballs to pan.Cook until brown. Remove meatballs and add pineapple chunks. Cook several minute. Return meat to pan and simmer 3 minutes more. Mix cornstarch, sugar, pineapple juice, vinegar and soy sauce together until smooth. Add to pan stirring constantly, until thickened. If serving tomato pieces, add just before serving. I have been making these for years. The original recipe calls for homemade meatballs but I have found everyone enjoys it just as well with using the frozen meat balls. Enjoy....See More
