Fiddled with the recipe a touch: <br />*added a chunk of smashed/peeled ginger to the rice while it cooked.<br />*didn't have green onion, so added some of the chopped cilantro to the cooked rice.<br />*added 1 TB of soy sauce to the meatball mix. <br />*deglazed the meatball pan with chix broth, stirred in some hoisin sauce and another splash of soy, plus lime juice, for a sauce for the finished meatballs. <br /><br />GREAT!ScottE.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02346813251871182513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-62232120943063830632011-06-27T20:33:31.959-04:002011-06-27T20:33:31.959-04:00Lane - Have you posted it anywhere?Lane - Have you posted it anywhere?Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12900263145684208002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-55946934055472605602011-06-24T11:15:51.155-04:002011-06-24T11:15:51.155-04:00I make an Asian turkey burger that sounds similar....I make an Asian turkey burger that sounds similar.

The first few weeks after the surgery were hard but once he started physical therapy he started feeling a lot better. I just baked him a lot of treats to keep his spirits up in the meantime. :)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17316313503180942215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-2617945421721063122011-06-10T00:06:06.766-04:002011-06-10T00:06:06.766-04:00Oh...I forgot...the most important part of the the...Oh...I forgot...the most important part of the therapy........<br /><br />ICE<br /><br />lots and lots of ice.

This one looks interesting and will have to try it.<br /><br />Sorry to hear about Jeff and another surgery. A couple of years ago I had the same surgery and am doing fine now. My sister-in-law (O.R. scrub nurse), best friend (R.N. too), boss (M.D.), and a few friends tried to talk me out of it but after a year of hurting I gave in to surgery. The surgery was successful. The critical and important part is the therapy. Yes, it hurts but the physical therapy makes all the difference. All my "advisors" were concerned because shoulder freeze can be a big issue. With the help of a great therapist and doing my exercises there is minimal limitation and best of all no pain. Tell Jeff I am rooting for him and to keep at his therapy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-53501243077572283002011-06-09T20:07:59.497-04:002011-06-09T20:07:59.497-04:00Ooh yum.

Toss them in to bake with the rice? <br /><br />And, strange question - do you grind your own meat to get a mix of light and dark? <br /><br />Thanks.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03357694767883126311noreply@blogger.com
