After a stressful and scary week, I was thrilled to bring my immediate family back together at the dinner table tonight. The three of us had a nice quiet dinner together. I felt a good old fashioned comfort food meal was the way to go, and I made Meatballs in Tomato Sauce, page 448 and served it over spaghetti. the meatballs were excellent, and I loved that that they did not contain eggs. Coco has always made the family's best meatballs ( after my step-father of course, lest he read this). As Coco says, why wouldn't he make good meatballs? Matzo Ball, Meatball - it's all the same! ( Too bad he didn't make the Matzo balls yeaterday!) My family had to admit these meatballs were good. The Spud commented he loved the kick that the red pepper flakes added, and implored Coco to add them to his in the future.
The routine to cook allows me to control something in a world of things I cannot control, and the family dinner brings those I love most close to me and makes us all feel safe.
All I can say is make sure you hug those you love and keep them close. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we go through these next few days.
