Zesty Porcupine Meatballs

I found this recipe at Allrecipes.com and it's a keeper. I had never heard of these before, then one day I asked Scott what he wanted for dinner. He mentioned this dish he used to have at a friend's house called porcupine meatballs. It seems like it's a popular dish, there are lots of different varieties out there, but this one looked good to me and I had all the stuff. I've made it a couple times, and the kids like it...but Scott loves it. It's his kind of food.

INGREDIENTS

2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed tomato soup (I have used one can soup one can sauce)

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pound lean ground beef
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
DIRECTIONS
Lightly beat egg with a fork, then add a heaping tablespoon of the soup and mix lightly. Mix in rice, onion, parsley, onion salt and pepper. Stir in the ground beef and mix well with hands. From mixture into 1 1/2 inch round meatballs.
Coat a large skillet over medium heat with cooking spray. Cook meatballs and brown on all sides.
Combine remaining soup with Worcestershire (you can increase or decrease Worcestershire to your liking), stir until smooth, then spoon over meatballs. Cover with lid and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring every few minutes

Pull my finger Brother Bush

Oh that Hayden. Why is it that when you'd like your children to act their best...they act their worst? Hayden really tries to push the limit when my visiting teachers and home teachers are here. So tonight he was doing pretty good...until the end of the lesson and he got a little bored. Out of nowhere, "pull my finger Brother Bush". We tried to ignore it, but then Hannah goes and pulls his finger, and you know what happens after that. Nice.

The fridge was delivered yesterday and I love it! It's so funny to get so excited about a fridge, but I am. I spent way too long last night, (when I should have been reading Harry Potter) arranging the inside. We got a good deal through a "contact" Scott has at LG, but that meant we got the pleasure of setting that bad boy up. Scott had to take the door off it's hinges to even get it inside the house. But, we managed to get it in, set up and hooked up without scratching it. That's what I was afraid of. Dinner is calling. Oh no wait that's just the kids telling me they are hungry. Porcupine meatballs for dinner, yum.
