Swedish Meatballs with Gravy


In The English Kitchen today I am sharing an old post I have re-written and edited to bring it up to day for Swedish Meatballs. These are so yummy. I could never get enough of them. A recipe I spent years honing. 

I am slowly redoing recipes from the past to bring them up to date and to erase vestiges of you know who. It's a tall task to be honest, but Rome wasn't built in a day.

Eileen liked the apartment she went to look at yesterday. It is just across the street from the one that she had wanted to get so it is still in a good area. She just won't have the furniture, etc. that she was going to get from the other one. So we will be building from scratch.  We can do it. They have a few repairs they are doing on it. I suggested to her that perhaps it was best that, even though she was paying rent for it, she stays here until after her operation and recovery. That way we can have things really ready for her to move in, and she can be cared for better. We will see what she decides. It's her choice, but she does seem to think that is the best idea.

I hope you have a lovely Thursday.  Whatever you get up to, be happy, be safe, don't forget!

  1. Adorable little fox kit, we have really enjoyed watching the fox family that is living under the shed. I did share a post with several photos on my website. My rhubarb is probably ready for picking. Good Eileen liked that apartment, probably a good idea for her to transition to it after her surgery. Hope it all work out well. Enjoy Thursday and all it brings.

    sometimes my comments don’t appear, my error, I’m suppose, I keep trying to learn this techy stuff! 🙄
