Okay - scrap this. I totally changed my mind on dinner.
We are having Sweet & Sour Pork Meatballs, buttered egg noodles, and steamed broccoli.
The meatballs are a recipe from a local meat packer - using their pork meatloaf....it's a local favorite - but I don't know if others can even make it - I'd never had it until I moved to this area.
