Thank you, Kelly. My biggest “secret” is using an external flash and not pointing it directly at the food.

I’ll come. I love pickles.

Your food photography is the BOMB. Do you want to come over and shoot my next segment on how to make refrigerator pickles?

That’s hilarious. I’m glad she didn’t burn herself.

Yeah, my grandma and mom made a similar kind of tomato sauce meatballs (also no rice) that they served over potatoes. Too bad their recipes are the “add a handful of this and a pinch of that” type so they’re basically useless to me. The little I do know was self-taught using websites such as AllRecipes and RecipeZaar.

My mother used to make a meatball – tomato soup dish that she served over potatoes (though I’m pretty sure she never used rice in the meatballs!). Probably still does, for all I know! (And yes, she’d always brown the meatballs first, then drain off the meat before adding the soup/sauce.)

I always thought she’d just made that up. Who knew?

Everyone loved it – including our Newfoundland, who discovered that she could, in fact, reach the stovetop – and stole a meatball right out of the hot frying pan!
