In my Flank Steak Teryaki post I pointed out that it has been a long, long, long time since I prepared a complete meal from the DiS! set. How long? It was summer.
That’s a long-ass time.
I have been away from the cards so long that I didn’t even know that there are only 11 left. Yes, you heard me right: ELEVEN. That’s one-a-month if I start in February.
Now I realize: I can do this. I can totally do this. I can finish the cards this year!
But all I need to do is start. I look to you, gentle readers, to give me a kick in the ass and get this show on the road.
I have chosen 4 DiS! cards, all with different proteins, but all suitable for the season (I wasn’t about to start doing some outdoor grilling in this cold).
What’ll it be?
27. Swedish Meatballs
- Assorted Herring Appetizers
- Swedish Meat Balls
- Pickled Beets
- Cucumber Pickles
- Jannsson’s Temptation (card #91)
- Apple Squares with Vanilla Sauce
53. Stuffed Breast of Veal (or Lamb)
- Stuffed Breast of Veal
- Sage Potatoes
- Tomato, Cauliflower, and Olive Salad with French Dressing
- Babas Au Rhum
60. Orange Duck
- Orange Duck
- Wild Rice
- Green Beans Almondine
- Dinner Rolls
- Whipped Jello Parfaits
111. Broiled Fillet of Sole
- Peppery Tomato Juice or Bloody Mary
- Broiled Fillet of Sole With Coral Shrimp Sauce
- Broiled Mushroom Caps
- Rosti Potatoes
- Cheese Pinwheels
- Grape and Orange Ambrosia
- Coffee or Tea
Voting opens today and will go til Monday. So if you are just bonkers for meatballs, love Jell-O, or have strong feelings for cheese pinwheels, you got a lot of time to stuff the ballot box.
Speaking of strong feelings–over the weekend (and by the weekend I mean Friday night and Saturday morning/afternoon) I binge-watched The Affair–and I have a lot–A LOT–of feelings about Joshua Jackson a.k.a. Pacey Witter.
So. Many. Feelings. I could watch that clip all day long.
HAPPY VOTING!
[…] I made the Swedish Meatballs! That’s what yinz voted for way back when I asked what my next dinner should be. […]
I had to vote for the Swedes–I need to know what you’ll think of the Temptation. I wanted to try it for years and finally had it in Stockholm a couple years back.
How was it???

Just so you know, I voted for the duck in hopes that I can help you eat it, since that is some delicious sounding meal right there.
You and my dad have to fight over the duck.
Em. It’s Dad. Duck? Jello? Nuff said. Do it, baby.
Maybe I should just save that one and make it the next time I come home.
Balls – purely because I’m waiting for the puns surrounding Jannsson’s Temptation.
I’ll have to research the back story on that one. LOL.
Meatballs, Meatballs, Meatballs!!! Bring on the herring appetizers plus I have always wanted to make a Jannsson’s Temptation…can’t wait to see how yours turns out. xx
I don’t even know what it is, so I am stoked to give that a go.
I hope you like anchovies…xx
The balls got my vote.
How can one say ‘no’ to balls?
Voting for fish because cheese pinwheels. But the duck is also tempting. However, you would make “assorted herring appetizers” entertaining. The stuffed veal sounds like the loser, no matter how you slice it.
But…but…but…if you finish the card set, will you keep the blog going???
Do not fret! I already have my next project planned.
*whew* was panicking for a moment.
Meatballs! I need to find out what constitutes assorted herring appetizers.
