Oh, Mitch, you make me laugh-though that sandwich sounds great!

My contribution is MEATBALLS! We love them, and they are versatile. This is how I make them:use a pound of ground beef, and a pound of ground pork-you can use all beef. I run it through the food processor a while until its ground very very fine. I throw in a scant cup of finely ground breadcrumbs, some onion a little nutmeg, and a couple tablespoons of milk. If you are in a hurry, you can form them into little balls, put them in a baking pan and bake at about 350 for about 20 minents-half an hour, and they are good, they are better, if you simmer them in almost boiling water, them brown them in butter in a skillet-but that takes time. This makes a lot, I usaully freeze some.

To use: You can take the drippings from the pan or skillet, and make a gravy, use sour cream instead of broth and toss your meatballs in and you have "Swedish" Meatballs. You can drop them in some beef stock for meatball soup, or make the soup and add vegtables for vegtable soup. You can add them to sphegghti for Sphegghti and meatballs, or make meatball subs, theres tons of ways to use them.

Moussaka

Peel eggplant and slice thinly. I don't bother doing the soaking and draining of the eggplant like some do (too lazy). Make a white sauce with at least two cups of milk. Add one tbsp parmesan cheeses and a tsp of garlic powder. Salt and pepper to taste.

Put a little white sauce in the bottom of a casserole dish. Layer in this order until you top with remaining white sauce: eggplant slices, cooked ground beef, white sauce.

Bake for an hour at 350 degrees F.

Enjoy with a salad and bread. Home made and grown if you can!
