Swedish Meatballs

My mother made "Sweedish meatballs" for Xmas eve, a recipie she got from her grandmother (who is the one I posted the pics of her kissing her fiance 100 + years ago), who probably got them from her mother, who came over from Sweden. This was originally only half of the holiday culinary tradition that side of my ancestors brought to this country. They would also traditionally have lutefisk for Christmas. I have never had any lutefisk, but I gather it is a pickled fish dish which stinks terribly. A relative told me that they were glad when the last of the family who came from the old country finally passed away, so that they didn't have to have lutefisk at Christmas any more.

The meatballs have a holsome blandness. My ma froze some of the meatballs for me to take home. I wondered if they would work with spagetti. I can now answer: Yup.

And Your Little Dog Too

Concerning small useless dogs that won't quit yapping:

Why is there never a flying monkey around when you need one?

Happy New Years

My favorite resolution seen on my friends list:

NEW YEARS RESOLUTION: Become a "Foppish Gin-Soaked Libertine".

(I won't say who so resolved, as it's friends only. So I'll just say, "Good luck with that.")



I wish a 2004 of happiness, health, and prosperity to my friends. -- Froggy
