This popped into my inbox this morning - just had to share:

For several years, a man was having an affair with an Italian woman. One night, she confided in him that she was pregnant.

Not wanting to ruin his reputation or his marriage, he said he would pay her a large sum of money if she would go to Italy to secretly
have the child. If she stayed in Italy to raise the child, he would also provide child support until the child turned 18.
She agreed, but asked how he would know when the baby was born.

To keep it discreet, he told her to simply mail him a postcard, and write 'Spaghetti' on the back. He would then arrange for the child
support payments to begin.

One day, about nine months later, he came home to his confused wife. 'Honey, she said, 'you received a very strange post card today.'
'Oh, just give it to me and I'll explain it later,' he said.

The wife obeyed and watched as her husband read the card, turned white, and fainted.

On the card was written:
Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti.
Three with meatballs, two without.

Send extra sauce

Hahaha I liked that joke!

I sometimes have meatballs with sauce and wedges or a baked potato - nothing too radical but I get bored of spaghetti too!

I like them in sweet and sour sauce with chips

I love them flavoured with cumin, coriander and a touch of chilli - we have them with pittas and a yoghurt/onion/cucumber sauce and pittas or wraps with grated carrots, white cabbage and onions.

As they're already in the freezer, you could sprinkle with the spices before you bake them to get a similar flavour

madnotstupid

what about putting them onto skewers for kofte kebabs, with pitta bread and salad. or cook them with paprika and garlic and mix into flavoured cous cous

madnotstupid

or in fried with a bit of soy sauce garlic and ginger and served with noodles?

My favourite is meatball tagine - meatballs in a Moroccan-spiced sauce of tinned tomatoes, aubergines and onions. It's lovely with some good, crusty bread. :drool:

(I know something that's going to be on next week's meal plan now! )

This sounds great, could I have recipe for that please?
I don't have any aubergines, but I could use courgettes instead I suppose? (have some growing in the garden..)
