First Meal in the New House
Big surprise: it's pasta. I guess I can't honestly say this is the *first* meal I've cooked in this new, foreign kitchen-- I've made red beans and rice (out of the box) and on the second night we made a frozen pizza. But you have to start somewhere, so I'm donning my autumn apron in June and making some pasta with homemade meatballs. No, it's not pasta from scratch. Give me a second. When I made our first Walmart order to fill the pantry, I got my usual 2 large containers of tomato sauce. When I got to our pantry box and unpacked it, I discovered we already had about 400 cans of tomato sauce, so I told Allen we would be having lots of pasta in the near future. I do not, however, have milk, so I quickly found a dairy-free meatball recipe because I wasn't in the mood for Bolognese. As usual, I started with the sauce so that it can simmer for as long as possible and get good and flavorful. And like most people probably know, getting to know a new range/any app...
