A Favorite Recipe

Swedish Meatballs

1 # ground Beef
1 # ground veal or pork or both
2 eggs
cracker crumbs- I prefer bround bread crumbs (fine)
a little milk
a pinch of nutmeg

Important to mix well. Shape into small balls. Brown well. Remove from pan and mae a gravy with milk. Add balls and simmer for an hour or more. You can't cook them too long. Turn while cooking- Sorry, I just go by gosh and by golly. For a large batch, double the meat, eggs, etc.

How the World has Changed

"When I was little, we didn't have some of the things we have today, such as radio, television, not many cars, airplanes, computers, VCRs, RVs, falsies, artificial nails, Aids- you name it. What did we do, I wonder?"

"However, some of the things we had then which we don't have today were more family life, reunions, ice cream socials, more church affairs, movies on Sunday afternoon, family ball games.

"The most important historical event that I remember in my lifetime was men walking on the moon. That, to me, is almost unbelievable."
