I think I’ll try **Flutterby’s** roast recipe this coming Sunday, then make **Bookkeeper’s** version the next week - they both sound so good! And my spaghetti and meatballs turned out great - I just had some of the leftovers for lunch. ---

> [@Flutterby](#): > > I’ve started picking up stuff for the breadmaker again. I don’t know if it was you or someone else who mentioned making bread on Sunday’s to go with the supper made in the crock pot (like soup) and I’ve decided I want to try that too. Fresh bread is always good 🙂 [Guilty!](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=261310) I didn’t specifically mention the crockpot, but we do use it a lot for soups & stews. Good memory! ---

> [@norinew](#): > > Well, first off, you may be laboring under the misconception that the dish is “gingered carrots and corn” when really, it was gingered carrots. And also, corn. Oops, I was under that misconception. But the recipe still sounds great. Mmm, shredded carrots. ---

My wife and I began a Sunday dinner tradition several months ago. We try to always have something that requires actual work to prepare – where “work” is defined as “it doesn’t all come directly from a box or can.” Last night was a tasty (but easy) corn chowder and crab cakes. I’m hoping for my wife’s awesome roasted chicken next week. ---

Sunday dinner was one of my favorite things when I was young, so I kept the tradition. Something special every week, with dessert. This week was stroganoff with home made pasta, fresh green beans, and cookie sundaes\* for dessert. \*One still warm home made chocolate chunk cookie vanilla ice cream hot fudge or caramel, your preference whipped cream. ---

Heh. Glad I could help. FWIW, Andes Candies now takes their irregulars and packages them, shattered, as chips for cookies. They turned out way yummy. ---

> [@Flutterby](#): > > Tell! I’ve been looking for a decent spaghetti recipe. It’s been so long since I last had it… Well, I was kinda lazy and I didn’t make the sauce from scratch. I like Bertolli Marinara with Burgundy Wine. I add two bay leaves, a bunch of oregano and minced parsley, and chopped onions and garlic sauteed in olive oil. I let simmer on low for about an hour. Right before it’s done, I add fresh cracked black pepper. The meatballs I made with 1 lb ground beef, mixed with more oregano and parsley, a little celery salt, fresh black pepper, chopped onion, Italian breadcrumbs, and some egg. I brown them nicely in olive oil, then add them to the sauce. I love olive oil. I think it’s pretty good, though perhaps someone can come along and provide an authentic recipe!
