Homemade Ice Cream - this is it!

Ok - I actually found this in my other grandma's recipes.....

4 eggs
2 cups sugar
3/4 pint cream
2 Tbsp vanilla
1 1/2 quarts milk

Beat two eggs at a time
Add sugar, cream and vanilla
Stir in milk, but leave about 3 inches from the top of the ice cream maker
Mix well and freeze.

And remember - it is not recommended to eat raw eggs.  Of course, we all did it as kids and survived, but still....

Home made meatballs

3 lbs ground beef
2 eggs
1 good sized onion, chopped very fine
salt
pepper
garlic salt
grated cheese (just a few tablespoons)
crackers or bread crumbs

Mix together beef, eggs, onions, salt, pepper and grated cheese
Use a fork to mix as the mixture will get pretty messy if you use your hands
Add enough crumbs to hold the meat together.
Make into balls
Fry in fat.

I use about a pound of lean ground beef, a pound of ground turkey and a pound of ground pork. I also use the italian flavored bread crumbs. Sometimes, I'll add just a dash of Worcestershire sauce as well. Yummy
