Friday was a holiday from school and I used my time to do some much needed
cleaning and organizing.
One of the jobs on my check list was the kitchen pantry.
I found one of those Lehi Roller Mills dessert bags that people sometimes give at Christmas time.
(I know I didn't get it this year.)
What should I do with it?
Saturday evening Andrew, Irene, and Elaine dropped by so Andrew could work on
the almost reinstalled computer.
Ken and I were just finishing up our
Subway-sandwich-I-don't-want-to-cook-and-mess-up-the-clean-kitchen-lunch.
There wasn't much left to share.
They said they were fine. Robbie even brought them hamburgers.
But the mother in me felt a little
guilty.
Then I remembered the chocolate dessert bag.
I decided to whip up something sweet.
After I got most of the ingredients in the bowl I wasn't sure if I trusted the mix part.
Midway through I switched recipes and pulled out a fresh cake mix.
Now I was pretty much making up the recipe (Not a good idea).
While we were sitting around waiting we had a discussion similiar to this:
Irene:
You're a good hostess, you mixed up two recipes.Elaine:
At least you didn't put meat in the cake (referring to an episode of Friends where someone put Shepherd's pie in the cake.Ken:
I knew a guy who used to put raspberry jam on his steaks!JoAnn:
Well, I put grape jelly and chili sauce on meatballs.pause....Do we still have meatballs in the freezer?The clean kitchen soon became a buffet with chips, salsa, vegies, dips,
and sweet and sour meatballs
and
that called for a game of Double Nines.
We had a party!
Sweet and Sour Meatballs:
1 package meatballs
equal parts of grape jelly and chili sauce (I like old fashioned brand)
Simmer until warm
Ken has been busy making some new cabinets for our home office.
