My Wife is the World's Greatest Cook!!!

[CO Liberal]

She just made a HUGE pot of spaghetti sauce and meatballs. The meatballs are over two inches in diameter and are made from 3 pounds of ground beef, one pound of ground pork, and one pound of ground turkey.

1. Oh talk dirty some more.

:evilgrin:

[DS1]

2. I doubt that

:D

3. But what about the itallian sausage?

Hot I.S. works wonders on Italian dishes! She should give it a try sometime!

(Pardon me while I try to remove the drool from between my keys now...)

9. We Had Italian Sausage In Our Sauce for Christmas

Sweet and mild.

4. Sounds like enough to feed an army.

Send me the leftovers.

5. I love big meatballs!

Everybody in my family makes 1 or 1.5 ounce meatballs. They suck. I use the big ice cream scoop. Then I fry them until I get a good crust and throw them in the sauce to simmer.

Yum!

If you want to have some fun, try using homemade cheese asaigo bread for the crumbs.

6. OK,I give up---what is asaigo bread?

7. Bread made with Asiago cheese (misspelled)

We have a Panera bread store in our area. I stole their recipe and made my own bread. It makes wonderful bread crumbs for meatballs.

It makes great toast too.

10. We Used a Trick The Princess Saw On "30 Minute Meals"...

...with Rachael Ray.

Put the meatballs on a cookie sheet or shallow pan, and bake at 450 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes. They brown on all sides.

8. Wrong!!

I am the world's greatest cook. The reason?? So far as I know, I am the only person still living who cooks in lard and bacon grease.

Your envy doesn't bother me.

11. All The Others Are Dead

:-)

13. We all

gotta die, sometime. The goal in life is not to arrive at the grave in an attractive and well-preserved corpse' but to slide in sidewise, chocolate in one hand and martini in the other, body used up, yelling, "WHOO HOO, WHAT A RIDE!!!"

That's not original with me, but I don't know who to attribute it to. Still, it sums up what I think about it, pretty well.

Cheers

15. Cook me breakfast?

I love eggs cooked in bacon grease!! :9

[forgethell]

17. It's good, and

if you add enough lard to "boil" the egg in it, it comes out perfect. With bacon, and lard biscuits with gobs of butter on them. I may die young, but I WILL die happy.

18. Tell me you make your own sausage gravy

for biscuits and gravy? I AM DROOLING

[forgethell]

20. You know

it's funny, I don't cook sausage gravy much. When I eat it, I get it at Hardees. I'll have to do something about that. Thanks for the suggestion. What I generally do with biscuits is honey or home-made fig preserves (Mama has a HUGE fig tree) I have to hustle to beat the birds when they're ready. I also like occassional real maple syrup. Or Golden Eagle Syrup, a local Alabama brand.

When I do make gravy for biscuits (well, in this case, it's actually my wife) it's red-eye gravy, i.e., grease from a country (salt-cured) ham and coffee.

You've made me hungry. I'm going to fix myself a corn-beef sandwich, maybe a Reuben if I have any sauerkraut. I like to brown the bread in a skillet with a little olive-oil, then flip and put the cheese on to melt a little.

[Debi]

21. STOP IT!!

That's it, tuna melts for lunch!! I am so DAMN hungry it's not even funny! Mades scalloped potatos and ham for supper last night w/the leftover ham from christmas, now my tummy is growling!!

Lasagna for the boys tonight for New Year's and I don't use cottage cheese...it's Ricotta baby!

[fluffernutter]

12. you have a good woman there!

spaghetti and meatballs is one of my favorite foods ever :9

[Debi]

14. And you are a nice husband

to say such a nice thing...my hubby praises me when I feed him as well. All makes for a happy family :grouphug:

[CO Liberal]
