Monday

Yesterday was a rainy, windy day and I spent the entire day in my apartment procrastinating, doing homework, procrastinating a little more, and then doing some more homework haha.  I have a midterm tomorrow in my cognitive psychology class that I am preparing for along with my econ paper.  Some of roommates went to see Harry Potter at an English movie theatre downtown.  I am not a huge Harry Potter fan so I did not go.  Last night for dinner we made homemade meatballs!  The recipe is actually surprisingly easy and did not take long at all.  The trick to making meatballs is breadcrumbs.  I will include the recipe and directions on the bottom.  On the way to school today I bought my ticket for a Roma soccer game.  I embarrassed myself a little by forgetting soccer was called futbol and asked to buy soccer tickets. Opps.  It is student day so a ton of my friends and classmates are going.  Romas colors are maroon red with golden yellow.  The gold symbolizes God in Roman Catholicism while the maroon represents imperial dignity.  Here is the recipe that we used to make meatballs!

Ingredients:

·         1 lb lean ground beef

·         1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs

·         1/3 cup water (more or less)

·         1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

·         1 medium onion

·         garlic

·         salt

·         pepper

Preparation:

Mix all ingredients together. Don't add all of the water at one time. Mixture should be moist but not so that the meatballs fall apart.

Shape meatballs to desired size and place on a broiler pan (I wet my hands before shaping each meatball and it helps make a nice meatball.) Broil until outside is slightly brown on one side and then turn and broil the other side. When finished, add to spaghetti sauce and simmer at least 20 minutes.
