#6 on The Midwestern Bill of Rights states that we reserve the right to...Consume a meal that is entirely composed of pale food, including but not limited to mashed potatoes, apple sauce, boiled fish, rice, pork chops, gravy, scrambled eggs, white bread, and lemon Jell-O or vanilla ice cream for desert. Our supper falls well into the color scheme, Swedish meatballs, egg noodles, corn, milk, and for desert, left over Christmas baking, Russian Tea Cakes, and Lace roll-ups. We did break away a bit with the sweet gherkin pickles. This was to pay honor to our pioneer ancestors, the only green on their tables from October to May was in the pickles they put up. I read that in my Little House Cookbook. Willy made most of the supper. No one guessed that the secret ingredient in the Swedish Meatballs was nutmeg.

OH YEAH!!! preach it Sister!-don't forget gravy! gravy on bread and under bread and on meat and on bread that has meat between it...a nice commercial would be great with my corn!
Oh, those meatballs look yummy. Have you always liked sweet pickles? This may be something we have to talk about when we are old ladies living together. I can only do dill or spicy. HMMM. . .I did get you to go from cat lover to dog lover, now for the pickles. LOL :)
