Want a Recipe?

Mary and I take turns cooking for each other, and Tuesdays and Thursdays are my days to cook. So on Tuesday I wanted to make spaghetti and meatballs. I didn't have a recipe in my cookbooks, so I looked online. I couldn't find one that looked good that I had all the right stuff for, so I used them all to make up my own. The result: The BEST meatballs I have ever had! They were SO good. So I thought I would share my recipe.

1 lb of ground turkey (We really like turkey in our apartment)
1 cup bread crumbs
1 egg
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup olive oil ( I kind of put this in by accident. I was supposed to put it in the pan to fry them, but accidentally put it in the bowl, so I am not sure how much it added to the tast, but who knows? maybe it helped?)
1/4 cup water
3/4 tsp basil
3/4 tsp oregano

First of all, I made the bread curmbs by putting 4 thin slices of french bread in the oven at 300 degrees for 20 minutes and then rolling over them with a glass, but a food processor would be easier.

Next, combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Then, form into balls and fry in olive oil over medium high heat until dark brown and slightly crispy. (Well, actually I got lazy while flipping them and they turned more into meat mush with several ball like lumps. But they would be better in ball form I think.) Next, pour maranara sauce into the pan, reduce heat to medium, and cook for about 15 more minutes. Delicious!

Hope you like my recipe!

I Straightened My Hair

I straightened my hair today, which I haven't done for over a year. I think my hair is getting thiner because it only took like 45 minutes and it used to take a couple hours. Or maybe I am just better at it now.
Here is before: I tried to blow dry it with the straightening attatchement on my blow dryer, but as you can see, that didn't work out so well.



And here is after: I love it being straight and I keep playing with it. It is so much longer when it is straight! At least 4 inches.

Gingerbread House

My friend Kyle gave me a gingerbread house kit for Christmas. It took along time to make, but was a lot of fun!
