Salad: 1950s Style
"Welcome home, honey, we're having salad for dinner."
I'm fairly certain that in their 50+ years of marriage my grandmom never once said that to my grandad. Salads were side dishes only. But back then grandmom also kept a tin can full of bacon grease on her stove.
There's a restaurant in midtown NYC called Penelope that serves a warm meatball salad. Oxi-moron? Maybe. Delicious? Definitely. Manly? You betcha. Filling? Absolutely.
These are turkey meatballs loosely based on this Giada recipe.
But I like to add rosemary because it's yummy and in my front yard.
Every salad I make turns out like a Greek salad
but you can put them over any kind you like.
PS. This dish also passes my "I have a 5-month old and can't spend more than 30 minutes making dinner" test.
PPS. Making a lot of meatballs and freezing them seems smart to me. Then I could make spaghetti, subs, and more meatball salads!!

Rankin's Thoughts #10
RANKIN: Not bad, but I prefer realist fiction. I just don't believe a bunny would search for a rainbow.
