This is what I am afraid Ollie will find out...
Yesterday I was able to get three bridesmaid dresses done one was very hard. I also had 2 more wedding dresses come into the shop. Sis and I counted and there are 15 dresses in the shop right now. Only one is for October, and 5 are for July. October is or has been my next busiest month. I also have a wedding dress coming in later today.
I only have one bridesmaid dress to work on today and then I have to get ready to leave tomorrow. Kelsa stayed last night so Nate could sleep today. He is on nights and the last three nights he has been called back out for crashes and with paperwork ends up working a 24-hour shift only to go back to the next shift with just a few hours of sleep. So, grandma to the rescue.
Signe' will bring William down late this afternoon and pick up Kelsa. William is driving with me down to Twin Falls. It will be nice to have company. I will be back next Monday with both James and William.
Here is my family's Swedish meatball recipe it is very old.
2 lbs of plain sausage
5 lbs of burger (the cheaper burger is better due to the fat content)
Mix well by hand so the meat is well combined
One large onion Chopped very fine I put mine in a chopper)
add:
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
2 tsps. of allspice
2 tsps. of ginger
1 to 2 tsps. of nutmeg (I use one as nutmeg is very strong)
I blend these with the onion
Now beat together:
4 eggs
1 cup milk or cream
add onion and spice mixture to milk and eggs and mix well (this makes sure that the spices will be well incorporated)
Now add liquid to meat and mix it will be soppy.
Add 1-2 cups of breadcrumbs. (I start with 1 and then add a bit more until I get the texture, I want that holds together well)
Now make golf size meatballs. Place on a broiler pan bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees. When meatballs feel firm and spring back, they are done. I can put 5 dozen on a standard broiler pan and make 2 batches. Save the drippings in the pan to make the gravy.
These freeze well and I freeze the gravy drippings in cubes and use as needed for the gravy flavoring.
With 10 dozen meatballs you will have several meals. These are delicious.
THE ORIGINAL RECIPE USED REINDEER MEAT.
I love being able to grab 2 dozen meatballs out and making a nice meal. These are very easy and they used to be cheap.
God is good
