Millicent's Meatball Sandwiches

Mmmmm, meatballs. Now, I have gotten lazy these last few years and have been buying Trader Joe's turkey meatballs instead of making my own. But not today. Ground turkey, garlic, white wine, tomato paste, oregano (I was out so I used herbs de provence), and bread crumbs and egg to bind it all together. Frying meat on a 90 degree day, nothing like it. They came out a little too crunchy - think I'll stick to TJs from now on.

Episode Note: "Never Too Young" Bobby plays the big man by defending a girl at school who is being teased.  Millicent (played by Melissa Sue Anderson) rewards him with his first kiss, and he immediately sees fireworks. Liking it, and wanting more, Bobby pursues her for another kiss at her house, and thus more fireworks. The only problem is, Millicent may have the mumps (the aforementioned over-used plot line). She calls Bobby to deliver the bad news, leaving him in a conundrum of how to tell Mike and Carol about the kissing and possible transmission of disease. Meanwhile, and I have no idea why, except that Paramount must have been cleaning out their wardrobe department, the Brady's are also preparing for a roaring twenties party. Bobby garners the courage to come clean with his parents, blaming the sky rockets in flight. Mr and Mrs Brady take the news in stride, as they too admit to liking a little afternoon delight. Go figure.

  1. Mmmmmmmmm.....meatballs. The bread looks like a giant mouth and it's trying to say, "These are yummy!" Do you know what would go well with a giant-mouthed meatball sandwich? A one-ton tomato. Just sayin'.
