Day before yesterday
I probably ought to do something on-topic. The day before yesterday, I made
homemade meatball, Paul Newman garlic spaghetti sauce and penne pasta. I served it with a plain lettuce salad with Olive Garden Italian dressing and garlic bread. I only made fifteen meatballs and warned that the limit was five apiece. Last night (tonight) I had a lot of pasta left with only three meatballs so we substituted cut up Johnsonville Polish sausage for the lack of meatballs. It worked! leo |

Maybe I'll make some meatballs with sauce but no spaghetti. That would pretty much solve that problem - well, except for the wife and kids wailing. |

It worked! > > Sounds lovely Share your recipes please? Everything was store bought, jarred or bagged, except the meatballs. My recipe for meatballs varies from day to day, but this is close to the most recent. A pound of 85% lean ground beef half a medium onion minced one stalk of celery minced 3 cloves of garlic crushed one egg salt and pepper to taste enough bread crumbs to form the slop into firm balls Mix everything together and form into 1.5 inch (40mm) balls and place all on an aluminum foil covered cookie (biscuit) sheet. Cook at 350F (175C) for about twenty minutes. It doesnt matter. You will throw them all into the store bought spaghetti sauce, once theyre firm, and let them simmer for an hour, so theyll be thoroughly cooked regardless. Any meatloaf recipe that you can form into balls will do. Add basil and oregano to give that flavor that Americans associate with Italy if desired. I didnt. Im not proud of my meatballs. Theyre just meatballs. leo |

(snippage) Sheldon, all leo and dsi1 hoped for were a few extra meatballs. Not a 10 lb meatloaf. Hopefully the tomato sauce was nice and tasty so the lack of two or three meatballs wasn't that big a deal. leo added some cut up polish sause which seemed to fill the empty space. Heh. I'd have done the same thing with some bulk breakfast sausage, thawed and rolled into meatballs. Meatloaf, that's a totally different dinner. Jill |

I've got one in the freezer right now. White pizza with spinach and mostly white cheeses. No tomato sauce. It's excellent! So is the jarred sauce, although I haven't bought any in a while. I don't know if Ophelia would be able to find Newman's Own brand in Scotland. I found a link where she could order it from Amazon UK but I doubt she'd have reason to do that. It's a nice jarred sauce but if I were her I wouldn't bother. Jill |

Spaghetti sauce, salad >dressings, cookies, frozen pizzas, and other items. The frozen pizzas are >outstanding, at least they are to me. We don't have any pizza place here, the closest is a Pizza Hut some 15 miles away. Last week we felt like having pizza for lunch so bought one from a convenience store, no brand, just a small frozen pie, 6 tiny slices, for $8 heated in their microwave... the cardboard box it came in was worth more than that pie... first and last time... I could have done much better at home from scratch but didn't feel like it. We used to have a very good Italian restaurant in town but they are gone for more than 8 years and that store is still empty. They had great pizza and fantastic calzone. We ate dinner there about once a week and suddenly they were gone. They served a fantastic half a roast chicken with a half rack of ribs. for like $7. The motorcycle people hung out there as there was a full bar in the back. They served great food. I've no idea why they left but I miss their food and the hefty bosomed biker chicks. |

I've bought a few occasionally. Not too bad and fairly large. Three different kinds. The stores get them premade and frozen. If they cook one for you, it's just microwaved then boxed hot. You can also just ask for a frozen one to take home later and cook. |

I don't understand that. Even when I had a gas stove (circa 1983) I didn't have to "light it". Then again, it wasn't coming from a propane tank I had to keep filled. Natural gas lines ran directly to the apartment building, to the stove. When I turned on the oven or the stovetop burners, I didn't have to strike a match to light it. Turn it on and poof! There's the flame. Instantaneous. Anyway, you bought a cheap pizza at the convenience store and heated it in their microwave, brought it home and expected it to taste good? Wow. Microwaved pizza is always going to be crappy. Back to the point: Newman's Own brand of food products is widely available. Spaghetti sauces, pizzas, all sorts of foodstuffs. Jill |

Sheldon is trying to compare convenience store nuked pizza with pizza you buy and bake in the oven at home. No comparison. Oh, and he's never heard of Newan's Own anything so of course it doesn't exist. Jill |

There are a lot of ways to light something. Although the pilot light is a bit of a cheat, because it needs to be lighted by one of those other means. Cindy Hamilton |

Based on the description I have no doubt it sucked. Microwaved pizza, really? I'm amazed at people who think using the oven for a few minutes in the summer will heat up the entire house to the point where it's uncomfortable. I live in the south where it gets really hot and hey, turning on the oven for about 20 minutes doesn't heat up the entire house. Neither does cooking anything on the stovetop. Jill |
