Romaine Lettuce Sandwich Singles

Some time ago, a good friend of mine showed me how clean and cut a heart of Romaine Lettuce so as to have perfect sandwich sized pieces.

Take the heart and gently open the layers and rinse with cold water without destroying it... Then cut off the white bottom, and about the top inch and a half to two inches (all the while keeping the heart together in your hand). Finally, cut the remaining lettuce into bread sized portions and viola! Perfect Romaine Lettuce Sandwich Singles!

*The discarded lettuce tips and bottoms work great for various compost mixtures. Go green friends.

Spaghetti with Meatballs

For this recipe, I used angel hair spaghetti.. Cooked according to the box... For the meatballs I used, one pound of fresh ground beef, about half a cup of Italian seasoned bread crumbs, one egg, one five ounce can of milk, and one clove of garlic, diced.
Just mix it all together in a large bowl. Makes about 25 meatballs.. Brown them all over in a frying pan.. Drain.. Add a can of sauce, then serve.

Best with Chocolate milk!

I'm sorry I haven't posted any new recipes. There has been a short series of deaths in my family and I simply haven't had the time to keep up. I have however tried a few recipes and will post them shortly.
