What's new

Happy Solstice!

A Merry Solstice to all. I'm looking forward to sleeping while going into work.

It's the magical time of year again when the days stop getting shorter and start getting longer again!

After I post this I will begin the preparation of the traditional spaghetti and meatball dinner. I'm using Anne Burrell's recipe for both the meatballs and marinara sauce. I've used it in the past but mostly as a guide, this year I'm doing it pretty much to the letter except that I couldn't find ground veal locally (well, between Beltex Meats and Harmon's butcher shop).
 
Solstice is here again. It just won't stop coming year after year even though I could use a break now and then. Stupid axial tilt is gonna tilt iykwim.

Anyway, spaghetti and meatballs is on the menu for the 21st as always. This year we're gonna make the meatballs as we have before but then we're gonna add a parmesan and panko breading to them before cooking. I think the noodle in the sky is going to approve.

Anyway, I hope that any of you who have been dealing with darkness and uncertainty will begin to see brighter days ahead! I really do mean that. Enjoy more sunshine!
 
Here are some pics of the meatballs

The panko breaded meatballs had a light color and we have now renamed our Solstice meal "Spaghetti and Snowballs."

Looks great! Care to share the recipe?

Those balls look tasty! (That’s what she said…)
