Goodbye Google Reader. 4 ways to connect with me

So, I'm biting the bullet and doing a post just like everyone else about Google Reader shutting down on Monday. I personally don't use Google Reader. I just use the blogger dashboard which also means I use Google Friend Connect. I don't believe Google friend connect is shutting down also, as I've heard confusion that from many. But I'll guess we'll see!

I'd really hate to love all your wonderful readers, so here are the ways you can connect with me:

Ready, set....ask me anything!

Oh weekend, I'm so glad you're here for once! Normally the weekend isnt as exciting for me as it is for most of you because thats our time to relax. We usually dont do much so sometimes its boring. During the week my mom is home the majority of the time so we go different places. This week though...oh its been killer. We've barely done anything. Why you ask? The weather has been nuts. Sunday, Monday and Tuesday it was almost 100 degrees. Then on Wednesday it started raining and has continued to rain and probably will contine through the weekend. Blah! The pool isnt ready because of the rain. It's all gross and wont clear. And the grass needs to be cut. Poor Bailey has to hop just to walk through it!

So because nothing fun happened this week, I have nothing to report. So, I've decided to turn the floor to all of you. I've realized as I went through all my old posts the other day that I've never actually let you get to know "me". You know what I do every week but not much about myself. Granted I'm a pretty simple girl. 

Now it's your turn...ask me anything. Anything at all. I personally love getting to know others especially when you're only able to chat through words....Ready, set, ask! :)

And because this post would be boring without pictures or anything...I'm praying for some summertime finally!

Taste of Tuesday Sweet and Sour Meatballs

As you may have read many times on my blog, my mom is a nurse and works second shift. 3pm-11pm. She only works 3 days a week so she's usually here to cook and eat dinner with us. But on the days she's not here, what do we do? My dad doesn't get home until about 5:30 or later, so he's tired and doesn't want to spend an hour making dinner. Then there's me and Brian. Neither of us having cooking skills and I don't dare read from a recipe...I'd probably burn the house down! So, needless to say it's either fast food, going out or my mom cooking something before she leaves. Today we're doing just that. It's 95 degrees, so we don't want the oven on and its took hot to cook on the grill. We decided on something extremely easy. I like easy :) 

As you also know, I'm picky. So when I got introduced to this dish, I wasn't sure. But now I love it. Bottom line of that? If I love it, you will too! 

Crappy picture but its out of the cook book :)

*First we have to make the meatballs. You need a skillet for whole recipe. We cook the meatballs in the skillet also

Ingredients for meatballs:

• 1 pound hamburger
• 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
• 1/4 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 egg

Direction for Meatballs:

• Mix the ingredients with hands, shape into about twenty 1 1/2 inch balls. 
• Cover over medium heat in a skillet for about 20 minutes
• After meatballs are cooked, take them out of the skillet and remove the fat

*With the meatballs set aside, we need to mix the other ingredients:

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 can (13 1/4) pineapple chunks
• 1/3 cup vinegar
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 small green pepper, coarsely chopped

Directions:

• Mix brown sugar and cornstarch in skillet
• Stir in pineapple (with syrup), vinegar and soy-sauce
• Heat to boiling, stirring constantly; reduce heat.
• Add meatballs. Cover; simmer, stirring occasionally. 10 minutes.
• Stir in green pepper. Cover; simmer until crisp-tender. 5 minutes
• We usually make noodles to go with it!
• Enjoy!
