There's a First Time for Everything

This summer I had access to a wonderfully large kitchen, so I spent lots of time practicing my skills and making dishes that I have never made before.  Among these firsts were hash browns, cabanara, grilled cheese, and meatballs.  I am pleased to report that 3/4 of these experiments could be considered a success.

While my sister-in-law mentored me in the creation of the meatballs, my brother called in from vacation.  She kept mentioning that the meatballs were very big so I made a special meatball just for her:

 Now I'm back home with a claustrophobic kitchen, but am armed with an arsenal of yummy new dishes...especially full-sized meatballs.

That is too funny! In our family, it would be called a Miguel-sized meatball, even though Miguel would probably eat several of your full sized ones!

I'm wondering...which was NOT a success?

the cabanara. i blame it on the lack of an official recipie with ratios and such.

Cool picture. The meatballs were great. :) But the word "mentor" made the process sound rather formal!

I thought the carbonara was pretty good, given it was your first time doing it.

Enjoy your new dishes. :)
