Cooking with Lucie; Spaghetti and meatballs with Soursop juice

Lucie had been trying to get me to teach her how to make spaghetti and meatballs since the first day we met. Well last weekend we finally got around to making it. I did have to look up a recipe as I do not make meatballs often. For the most part we followed the recipe, but Lucie insisted on changing a few things. To start with she wanted to blend onions and garlic together instead of chopping them, and I let her knowing it wouldn’t change the taste too much. She also tried to put spicy pepper sauce in them (they use it for every dish) but I convinced her not to.

For the meatballs we combined

Meat
Onions and garlic
Italian seasoning
1 egg
Bread crumbs
Salt
Carrots

Sauce

Diced tomatoes (that we blended)
Onions and garlic
Carrots
Italian seasoning
Salt

While all this was cooking Lucie decided to make fresh soursop juice. Soursop is a big green spikey fruit that grows here. To make the juice you peel off the rind and deseed the fruit. Then you throw the rest of the fruit in the blender with some sugar, vanilla essence, and water. It is quite tasty!
