I've been off for most of a week now, taking some vacation to go along with the 4th holiday. I've completely flooded Bangshift with drivel, shot pool, raced an exotic car on the X-Box, messed aound in the yard, we've done just about everything we've been wanting to do. From it all, I think I could get used to this - being off of work.
It seems to cost a lot, though. We even bought (ordered) a new car. More food runs, more beer runs, but I could sure get used to this, being home all day every day. No problems at all.
Every week on Sunday we have spaghetti. That's spaghetti day at Weeville. When I make sauce, I make enough to fill the freezer, a largantic pot full. We freeze the leftovers and eat it for a couple of months, every Sunday. Ad then I make another batch. From scratch, lots of procedural steps and I mess up every pot in the kitchen.
Last week, we used up the last of our last batch and Unit decided she wanted some meatballs instead of just busted up ground beef in the spaghetti sauce. Meatballs.
I've never made meatballs. I tried it one time, but real meatballs are far more than just a hunk of meat. There are lots more ingredients.
Unit found a recipe on the net. Lemme tell ya, I now appreciate meatball construction. If you mess everything up in the kitchen making spaghetti sauce from scratch, you mess everything up, the same stuff over again TWICE making real meatballs. And I went to the store with a list and still didn't come back home with all the stuff that goes into meatballs. Meatballs are the space shuttle of food groups, an integrated system. One ingredient short, we substituted Italian Spice for parsley.
But lemme tell ya, at the end of the day, those meatballs in that spaghetti sauce...Unit's still raving. Those were so good.... oh man....gyalee those meatballs are good.
