this is a blog about the food in my life. what I eat, what I wanna eat, what I make, what I bake, what I wanna make and bake, ideas and recipes. it's also my thoughts on food or stories behind the meals. The lyric references are from my lifelong love of classic rock and funk and from working a hunnerd years in music retail.

Great Balls of Fire
Mexican turkey meatballs. Had some leftover corn and black bean salad so I mixed it with ground turkey, spices and bread crumbs, an egg to form small meatballs.
Finished cooking those off in a canned fire roasted tomato sauce with green chiles. Served over Orecchiette pasta. Flavorful stuff! I have a hard time not OD'ing on pasta. I get in a trance and must eat large amounts until I can't see straight. It's like a sedative or knock out drug. So to combat that urge I put just enough heat in the sauce and balls to make it hard to overload. One small portion did the trick.
