complicated recipes

[leechlake]

I made some meatballs tonight.  As they were cooking in oven for a bit I dinked around looking up some meatball recipes on line.  Holy cow!  I was intimidated just looking at the ingredient lists.  Seems to be about 15 items long, no wonder so many people don't cook.

I happened to use some venny and pork Italian sausage so I didn't have to add any seasoning but I took about a pound of meat, maybe 3/4 or less cup of cracker crumbs and an egg and a bit of milk.  It couldn't have taken 5 minutes.

If I would have followed the first recipe I looked up I would have been at it for 20 minutes and would have had to look at the recipe 12 times.  It doesn't have to be that hard is what I'm saying.

Just pretend you're making meatloaf...dump your meat (did that sound right) in a big bowl, and have all your spices, Worcestershire, eggs, condiments, etc, uncapped, uncorked, chopped, and lined up in front of the bowl, and throw in one at a time while kneading. Roll the meatballs. Should be able to do it all in 10 mns easy.......

Ya, he couldn't catch any fish. I'll have to show him how.  

[leechlake]

I envision a Smurf standing on the ice and casting until his fingers are bloody.  Every once in a while changing lures until he decides trolling may be the ticket for the day.  He's got a blue stringer and a big landing net that never gets used either.  At the end of the day he pulls the dresser drawer out and hops in and gets a good nights rest to do it all again the next day.
