What is for dinner tonight? That's the question. I have no idea. We did a great job menu planning Sunday-Wednesday this week, then ordered from an Indian-Pakistani place last night. We have plenty of leftovers, but both had them for lunch.

Bought a just over 2 1/2 lb strip loin (NY strip/steak) roast yesterday and cut it into 5 steaks (cheaper by $1/lb in roast over steak format). Had pan-seared steaks last night with baked potato and rotkohl with bacon and raisins. Will share one steak tonight as the secondo. Primo will be spaghetti a la carbonara with home-salted pancetta. More steak tomorrow.
I went to Germany for 15 years and always loved rotkohl. Now I get it in Carmel at the Swiss fondue place because its a side dish for certain entrees :-)

I can try finding an Austrian recipe for a more proper method.

That's just a minor thing & easily adjustment . They look great! What seasonings are in them? Parmesan in the mix?

thanks! Its the Betty Crocker simple(Ton) recipe. Beef Worcester milk egg crumbs. I forgot salt & pepper. So they couldnt hold roundness during the baking. I know that carando uses Parmesan cheese so I could add some to the mix. No parsley yet because the overall goal is for my child to eat these; so next time Ill improve the milk / meat ratio and make a few with parsley if I remember to get the parsley :-)

I have only seen pork Carando meatballs...do they make beef too?

I have never seen a meatball recipe that doesn't have onions and garlic and some herbs. And I can't imagine cooking anything without salt and pepper. Was it a bland? I think making the panade with bigger chunks of bread rather than crumbs is better (but the baguette was a good idea) . I doubt that your kid will even know there is parsley and it does add a lot of flavor (get flat leaf). The parm also helps with holding them together as well as adding flavor and saltiness. I wouldn't worry about the shape...yours look fine.

They would be round-ish enough for me but he can use a disher to do it next time.

What Corky said. You don't notice the parsley the whole point of having it in there is that it gives the 'ball a bit more rounded (pardon the pun) flavour.
