So, this doesn’t count as a cooking the world recipe. I make Swedish meatballs all the time. I make it a little different by including the caraway seeds instead of using rye bread for the meatballs. Most recipes call for rye bread crumbs. I don’t buy rye bread. So, I came up with an alternative.

There’s one person that I have to work with sporadically.  That’s her MO.  It’s as if she’s expecting me to sit around and wait for her to ask me to do something and I have NOTHING else to do.  Seriously?  I have nothing to do?  Just wait for your email?  YEAH!  Okay!  Sit in my chair for a few hours and see how that works for ya…

Mom’s coming down this weekend.  She’s dropping off some stuff I didn’t get to pack up when we were there last.  I had it in my head she was leaving July 5th.  Nope.  I think she changed her plans.  That’s her MO.  LOL  She’s a go with the flow type of personality.  It’ll be good to see her and just chill.  I think we both need that.  To just chill.  I just need to figure out what to make for dinner Saturday night.  I really don’t know.  And I didn’t plan anything for Saturday because she was coming.  So, it’s a clean slate as to what to cook.
