Do You Meatball & Veggie Fritter?

[Margi Cintrano]

With a long lazy August ahead, simplicity for lunch and dinner are always appreciated ...

How do you Meatball and/or Vegetable Fritter Ball it ?

*** For example, here are our faves:

1. Italian Meatballs are my favourite ( recipe and photo below )
2. Greek Meatballs called Keftades with orange zest flour to dredge
3. Swedish Meatballs
4. Zucchini Fritter Balls ( in Vegetable Section - D.C. Post by Margi )

August has us using up the tomatoes,basil,much of the parsley, in salads and the over abundance of zucchini in soups, and fritatta's oven's are not used much but are going to be for breads,rolls,crumpets, cookies and cakes that we've by-passed most of the summer. I also like to make Carrotas en Vinaigrette the children love them as do the big kids. We love to set out small plates of the as you say Tapas using hard cooked eggs, Anchovies,Shrimp,marinated olives, fresh icy cold fruit some of it wrapped in prosciutto, a platter of cheeses and of course that great big salad and stuffed onions and zucchinis. Plenty of french bread and butter, along with wine, red and white and strawberry lemonade for the children. August at the Ma's house.
