Meatballs

It is so beautiful outside!! Sun is blazing away the winter's cobwebs and the outdoors are beckoning me to spend hours and hours in the clarifying air.

Then comes the dragon boat practice on the river, getting soaked and hungry.

CROCKPOT!!

I made a little mix for the meat, it turned out great!

MEAT LOVER: it tastes great, it's good!
GREENARIE: I'm not sure if I'm starving, or I'm actually enjoying them?
