"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

Personal Notes:
If you want to freeze, partially cook carrots, add to roaster pan and do not cook meatballs in oven. When wanted to eat, remove from freezer, thaw about 15 minutes and then cook as above. Carrots and green pepper can be omitted. I also make extra gravy when we have a beef roast for dinner. Make the meat balls and cook them in the gravy. Can serve with white rice.
