[with the windows open wide, i can hear the stars go by]
i had a cavity filled this morning, near the back on my lower left jaw, and oh, frell, does my whole face hurt, still. all the cavities i've had filled before this have been on my upper jaw, and none of them have left me with active muscle and jaw pain like this. *whines*
in other news, i made the most delicious meatballs in the history of the universe for dinner tonight. i know you're going to look at the recipe and say, beer and hot 'n' spicy ketchup, really?, but i swear, they were so delicious i would like to go eat all the leftovers now. except that i'm full, and my teeth hurt. so i share the recipe, which is from a "cook with beer!" cookbook that kickthebeat and i bought a couple of months ago. it requires a slow cooker/crock pot, so if you don't have one, you will be out of luck, but if you do, i totally recommend this recipe. these meatballs are amazing.
2 19oz bottles hot and spicy ketchup
2 12oz cans of beer
2 pounds lean ground beef
2 teaspoon minced garlic
1 finely chopped onion
1/2 cup cooked rice
i left out the onion (i am generally anti-onion unless fried) and used brown rice, and the meatballs were still great. they also cooked a little longer than 3 hours, and sat in the cooker on warm for several hours afterward, just fyi.
1. preheat oven to 400 degrees. pour ketchup and beer in slow cooker and allow to simmer on high heat for 30 minutes. (it took about five minutes of vigorous stirring to blend the ketchup and beer thoroughly.)
2. in large bowl, combine beef, garlic, onion and rice, and mix well. form mixture into 1-inch meatballs and place in greased 9x13 baking pan. bake for 20 minutes.
3. add meatballs to ketchup-beer mixture in slow cooker and simmer on low heat for 3 hours. serve over cooked spaghetti or noodles.
and finally, bones! bones is totally my happy non-fannish tv place these days; i've read some booth/brennan and some angela/jack, but i don't really feel the need to read fic for this show, or be otherwise fannish about it. it gives me everything i need (except a girlfriend for zach! i want zach to have a girlfriend) in text, and i'm not really left with a desire to be fannish about it. BUT STILL, LET US DISCUSS THE AWESOMENESS. consider there to be spoilers through tonight's episode in the comments.
