Hi Michael,

 ML>  A very international dish; after all, some sort of flour and
 RH> water are just about universally available.

 ML> You can go one step less and make porridge, though.

Another common dish, no matter where you go.

 RH> I don't think my mom had a good meat
 RH> ball recipe when I was growing up.

 ML> My mother had a foolproof recipe - Kellogg's Croutettes crunched
 ML> up a bit, ground beef, onion, and there you have it. Pretty good,
 ML> actually, though nowadays when I fix them, I use ordinary bread
 ML> with thyme and maybe some sage.

At least she made an attempt to do them, my mom didn't. I think Rachel
said that she tried making meat balls out of just the ground beef when
she first got married. It worked, but they didn't have the taste she was
used to. I sent her the recipe for the sauce & meat balls she grew up
with; the one I got from Steve's mom before I got married. It's the same
one I made at Janis's and xxCarol's picnics. It's not only the
combination of ingredients but also the cooking for several hours in the
sauce that make them good. Yesterday I cooked some I'd made up and baked
but not cooked in the sauce; put them up in containers with enough sauce
they'd been cooked in for 3 individual meals and one meal for 2.

 ML> ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.01

 ML>       Title: Polenta with Tomatoes & Olives
 ML>  Categories: Vegetarian

Hmmmmmmmmmm, it doesn't say what kind of olives to use so I might try it
with kalamatas. Looks good
