Happy Valentine's Day Everyone
I know it's tomorrow, but what I don't know is if my computer is going to make it to tomorrow. It's been acting mighty odd the past few days: sputtering, moaning, whining, sluggish, -- actually it's been acting a lot like me.
Can a computer get a cold? We know it can get a virus, but I think mine's got a cold. Not totally down and out, but not up to par. Again, just like me.
I am leaving my beloved yet ailing computer soon to go downstairs and make a large batch of meatballs. Then I am going to saute a large batch of green peppers with sliced garlic. Then when husband comes home with fresh grinder rolls, I'm going to have a meatball grinder which I've been dying for.
I will make enough so that I can eat it every day until I get tired of eating it, as husband's off soon on a business trip to Vegas and I'll be recuperating from the damn cold and eating lots of meatballs to make myself feel better. Meatballs and bread...such a good combination. Maybe I'll melt cheese on the top too. Maybe I'll chop up a sweet onion, very fine, and some fresh parsley and sprinkle that on the top. I might open that nice Pinot Noir I've got downstairs also.
I can't believe he gets to go to Vegas, the man who's said numerous times: I'd rather shovel shit than ever go to Las Vegas. Well, he has no choice he has to go. I know he'll want to crab about his time there, but I'll have to remind him what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.
I will also force this non-gambling guy (hates it with such a passion you'd expect he was raised by a couple of no account gamblers) to play the slots for me. I of course love gambling within reason. And for good reason. The few times I've ever gambled I've won a little bit of money which I've put into my pocket and kept. I never once had the urge to put it back into the slots or more scratch off tickets for example. I've counted it and said, hey came here with $20 and leaving with $100.
I didn't finish this before and now I can brag all meatballs are cooked. I cheat, I use a cookie scoop to make my meatballs...they're round enough for me and easy on the hands.
I also make a lot so I can freeze some and have them on a day when I don't feel like fussing. Now if only a genie would clean my kitchen I'd curl up with a book.

there could be a myriad of things going on with the pc. dont know if a pc cant get a cold but it can get congested due to pet hair, dust etc. Is that the issue with your pc? dont know Id have to look at it and since you live about 5 hours away I dont think that will be possible. Have the geek squad come and take a look at it.
hugs
You are very smart...pet hair it is sticking to where the fan is so I'm going to zap it with some compressed air...thanks smarty pants....!!
You might also want to vacuum the fan (from the outside.) There could be lots of stuff in there. :) If cleaning that out doesn't help email me - and we can set up a time to talk on the phone to discuss what could be the issue. :)
As for meatballs - mmmm yeah - i made a bunch for superbowl and they were WONDERFUL. :) i bought a meatballer, but I think they made them a little too big. :) If you don't do this already - ever thought about sprinkling some romano cheese in to use as binder along with the breadcrumbs? mmm tasty. :)
hugs
Happy Valentine's Day Ilanna!!
Yes, I put in lots of grated cheese, I used Parmagiano Reggiano but would use Romano if I'd had it.
I also fry up the peppers and line my roll with the peppers so all the sauce doesn't sog up the roll. I'm having that tonight as I didn't want my sweetie to be running around tonight in this bad weather bringing home dinner as was our original plan.
Hope you have a great great day and I thought of vacuuming the back of the puter and did it yesterday so I think I'm ok.
My problem is it's now 4 years old and you know computers don't last long, though I did buy the top of the line 4 years ago, and husband has a slew of Autocad files which take up lots of memory and then there's the stuff I've saved which is everything under the sun!
The little cookie scoop made bite sized meatballs if you have a big mouth or two biters if you have a smaller mouth, as in men could eat one whole one while we'd need two bites or have to be alone glomming food in our kitchens!!
Happy Vday (Late)!
Ive never been to Vegas, Im not a huge gambler, although like you I walk away when Im ahead.
Mmmm, meatballs!
