I found a good spaghetti and meatballs recipe.

Ingredients

Meatballs

1 1/2 pounds ground beef
3/4 cup dry bread crumbs
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 medium onion, finely chopped (1/2 cup)
1 egg

Sauce

1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 can (28 ounces) whole tomatoes, undrained
1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried basil leaves
1/4 teaspoon pepper

1 package (16 ounces) spaghetti

Grated Parmesan cheese

Steps

1. Heat oven to 350º. Mix all ingredients. Shape mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls. Place in ungreased jelly roll pan, 15 1/2x10 1/2x1 inch. Bake uncovered 15 to 20 minutes or until beef is no longer pink in center and juice is clear.

2. Meanwhile, heat oil in Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook onion and garlic in oil, stirring occasionally, until onion is tender.

3. Stir in remaining Sauce ingredients except spaghetti and cheese, breaking up tomatoes. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4. Add meatballs to sauce. Cover and simmer 15 minutes. Cook and drain spaghetti as directed on package. Place spaghetti on large platter. Top with meatballs and sauce. Sprinkle with cheese.

Great band name !!!

Who buys apples? I grow all my own apples, so price isn’t an issue for me.

Does anyone else think that Matt Damon looks kinda Frankensteiny?

I think Ben Carson should be the nominee for Department of Agriculture, due to his world-renowned knowledge on the subject of grain storage. I’m sure he could come up with some innovative and ambitious public works projects to make the storage of harvested cereal crops much more efficient.

And he invented Peanut Butter, too. Let’s not forget that!

The ironic reinforcement of the OP’s point was apparent in the first two words of post 2, and the rest of the thread is just copycatting. Fail.

The direction of the thread was obvious from the moment that the title of the thread was typed.

I thought that peanut butter was invented by Gutzon Borglum?

I knew it even before then.

Nope. None other than Ben Carson. You can learn a lot from FoxNews during Black History Month. You should watch it next March!

“Why are Granny Smith apples typically more expensive than Red Delicious?”

“Jumbo eggs are usually more expensive than large”“Yeah but that’s by the dozen; since they weigh more Jumbos are a better buy per oz”

“I actually prefer Red Delicious so it’s not an issue for me”

“I wonder if there’s a ‘perfect egg size’ somewhere between large and extra-large?”

“Did you know that Granny Smith apples are actually just a rebranding of an older variety? Before refrigeration they spoiled too soon to be marketable so they were always made into cider and called Cider Apples”

“When I worked in the fruit and vegetable section of the supermarket we were always told never to put citrus fruit like oranges next to the bananas because they would ripen too fast.”

“Why can’t you buy goose eggs anymore?”“They’re very common in Taiwan”

“Food prices have actually dropped relative to the Consumer Price Index in recent years.”

“Did you know that Granny Smith apples are actually just a rebranding of an older variety? Before refrigeration they spoiled too soon to be marketable so they were always made into cider and called Cider Apples”“Cite?”

Eight pages later the discussion has moved on to Donald Trump’s nominee for the Department of Agriculture. We never find out why Granny Smith apples cost more than Red Delicious.

Great username/post combo!

Unless you are growing your own heirloom strains of peanuts, you’re only doing it halfway.

Actually the OP’s point was not that there is the occasional threadshit, it was that the entire thread never addresses the point of the thread.

Critique fail. Sad.

Not only do I grow them, I genetically modify and breed them myself.

I make mine from the apples I grow. Top that!!!

I was out harvesting some apples off my trees the other day, when a guy on a motorcycle went by. Gosh, why do they have to have such loud pipes?

Thanks Obama

Isn’t that cannibalism if you eat it ?

Doesn’t matter, it still watches you.
