I had a can of 6 in 1’s in my hand this afternoon at GFS. In reading the label I learned that like the 7/11’s I tried a few weeks ago, these had not had the skins removed. The taste of the 7/11’s was good and I imagine that the same could be said for the 6 in 1’s but I bought one #10 can ground peeled instead, which I have been using in our meatball sauce for many years.
That will be a big project and will begin in about 3 weeks. It will take 3 cases (18 cans) of ground peeled and a coucple cans of whole pear shaped tomatoes. With the other ingrediemts added to make the finished sauce it works out to almost exactly double the weight of the meatballs: approximately 80 lbs of meatballs and 160 lbs of sauce. We are going to have to scratch a few names to make sure we can do this with one big batch. First batch should make 18 pans of 35, or 630 meatballs. I have one business supplier I still want to give a large pan to for their family run business. Two other suppliers I regularly took packages of 24 or more meatballs won’t be making the cut as I have not dome anything with them since getting sick, nor have they done anything for me in the last two seasons.Our list of friends and neighbors should still work as a couple have moved away and we dod not know their new buyers well enough yet.
I still do not have much[size=78%] stammina but have gotten better at working smart. Our [/size][/size][size=78%]sons, daughter, and their spouses will be here and want to help so that will be nice. Without their help , I would probably try to keep it to 25 lbs of meatball mix, something my wife could help me complete a couple evenings after scchool.[/size]
