About Me

This is me, The Rat...partner since 2001 to Concrete_Man, mum to Rat_Girl (born 13.12.05) and Rat_Boy (born 14.05.09). Co-inhabiting our nest are 2 rather large fury 4 legged rats, Boxer_Dog and Black_Dog. We run a business from the nest with Concrete_Man doing the manly physical work while I stay at home and do the 'other' stuff. This means we are often busy, often stressed and often very tired...but then again who isn't! Anyway that's enough for now. As time goes by you will learn a bit more about the family that is "MummaRat's Nest"

Kids Cooking Thursday - Hamburgers and Porcupine Balls


This week is all about freezing meals and being prepared.

We mixed up some mince and made hamburgers and porcupine balls to be stored in the freezer to be eaten down the track.

Ingredient


Meatballs:
500gr mince
½ cup breadcrumbs
½ cup raw rice ( I only have brown rice)
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 egg
1 tbsp dried mixed herbs (or fresh if you have them) – I use basil, oregano
1 tbsp tomato sauce

Sauce:
Worcestershire sauce
Salt & pepper
Large can tomato soup and ½ can water

Couldn't be easier, throw everything in together
Give it a good mix (squeeeeeeeeze) with your hands
And roll into balls. We've stored ours in the freezer until we're ready to eat.
I promise to add a finished product photo when I make them.

Hamburgers
I don't have a recipe for these, I use similar ingredients as above but I add some veiges chopped up finely and thrown in.

And same as before throw everything together and squeeeeeeeeze!!!

Ours are then pressed into my hamburger keeper
And stored in the freezer until we're ready
Again I promise finished product photos later on.

I thought this was a good exercise to do with Rat_girl...we done the same with some cookies and cookie dough.  I'll have that post coming up soon.
