I was looking through the fridge earlier, trying to figure out what to make for dinner with the combination of ingredients I had available, and wondered if teriyaki porcupine meatballs would work. Off I went to the good ol' internet to look up "teriyaki porcupines" to see if anyone else had tried this before. As luck would have it, I found a link where someone had posted about making them for dinner!
So... imagine my confusion when I clicked on the link and it went to one of my old MyLot posts! 
I guess I've done this before! I hope everyone liked it before, because that's dinner tonight.
Here's my old post, if you're interested.

Tonight's dinner was born out of creative desperation -- 'what on earth do I make with this ground beef that's not the same four or five things I make all the...

I missed that! I'm a little behind on her videos.
I wrote/compiled a cookbook years ago when I still worked for Trader Joe's.

@spiderdust Oh my!@ I love spaghetti in red sauce. I know that what you have made is so delicious specially that you put pureed tomatoes, ground beef , spices and sauce. I am drooling typing all this

Tonight I served spaghetti, but I made the sauce myself! I had a flat of tomatoes that was going to go bad if I didn't use them up. I pureed several of them in the blender (didn't peel them, just liquified the whole thing) and simmered them with some spices for a couple of hours, then browned some ground beef and added it to the sauce.

@spiderdust It happens, this is why when I make something that my husband likes he asks me to write down the recipe and I often forget.

"Hmmm. This recipe seems vaguely familiar. Almost as if I wrote it myself."

Meatballs in general go over well here. The stepkids' mother also used to make porcupines sometimes (although a bit differently than I do), so they're happy when I make them too.
