A long-ago made plan for a grand gathering of six this past Saturday night presented a terrific opportunity for busting out my sister's recipe for what we call New Year's Day meatballs. She gets credit as well for the recipes behind the delicious sides: company mashed potatoes and layered green bean casserole.
Just before heavy storms with lots of lightning rolled across the city this past Saturday afternoon, temps had really climbed into their oppressive unpleasant tier. Not hot enough for me to pine away for winter, but it sure inspired gratitude that this latest front brought a welcome break in the steamy August summertime. Ah, but one cost we bore was losing two of the dinner guests, who had to stay home and tackle clean-up from a clogged gutter at their condo...and the resulting water that came into their downstairs as a result. But at least the evening still offered quite a few rounds of pool up in the 3rd floor man cave.
