Better Than Employee of the Month

I'm Story of the Week!

Check it out:

From Mr Beller's Neighborhood's Website:

"In If Prozac Fails, Try Orbitz, writer and comic Ophira Eisenberg takes a flying leap from Canada to New York City, where she learns to deal with windowless apartments, cat hair duvets, and flying cockroaches."

If you haven't been to this site before - there are tons of great stories by different writers and performers all writing on the theme of good ol' New York. You'll dig it.

Or try this...

For the July 4th weekend, I was lucky enough to go up to Cape Cod with Allison Castillo and a few other fine friends. In a state of famished panic, meaning we had eaten every other scrap of food in the house, I made veal meatballs on the barbecue. They were quite the hit and now Allison's mother wants the recipe. Of course these meatballs were prepared and consumed while drinking close to a thousand watermelon "surprises", but I think they will still hold up.

Here's the recipe... I think...

Ophira's Watermelon Surprised Induced Veal Meatballs

1- 1 1/2 lb Ground veal (can't remember exactly how much we had)
1/2 c Minced onion
3 garlic cloves minced
2 ts Salt
2 tb parsley flakes (or fresh parsley - always better)
1 ts Pepper
1 ts Paprika
I may have thrown in some oregano - I bet I did
2 Eggs
a drizzle of olive oil too
1/4 c of bread crumbs or a little more or less until desired consistency is reached.

Throw those suckers on the barbecue and turn until you decide they are done (by sampling many of them). Serve with distilled beverages.
