I don't but in general, Swedish meatballs have at least dairy, if not egg
and quite possibly bread crumbs. I guess I could read the bag that I have
in my freezer but I don't feel like doing that. I am pretty sure that what
they serve are the same as the frozen ones. This lady has recreated them at
home and it is just like I said.

Swedish meatballs are one thing that my mom made several times a year so I
am familiar with how they are usually made. And I also have a Swedish
friend and live in a community that is heavily populated by Swedish people.
I'm also not stupid, despite what some here might think. I am very familiar
with restaurant menus and how they often prepare their food. Which means
that given the foods I must avoid, most of it is off limits to me. This is
why I do not dine out often.

No, Jill. I am not going to walk to the freezer and look at the bag. All
that walking yesterday has worn me out and I was doing some work outside
earlier. Have you never made Swedish meatballs before? I do know that
dairy is *always* in there.

I wasn't concerned about the ingredients because I *know* that I can't eat
them. Now that I am out of the crowded store and was able to look at the
packets without my glasses on and in better light I can see that there are
instructions in English and I will have to buy cream to make it.

Oh hey! FOAD! I know. I just freaking KNOW that I am not the only person
on this newsgroup to have bought their meatballs to take home. It has been
discussed here before. I don't cook every single meal that we eat. You
don't cook every meal either! You admit that here. We had food from Taco
Time last night. I had planned to have a snack of refried beans from Taco
John's at McChord AFB but as it turned out, about every other business in
the mall was closed. And they were one of them. So I had to eat as soon as
we got in because it was well past dinner time, especially since we had to
get an early start on the day and it had been a long time since breakfast.
Yes, I did have that salad but I didn't even come close to filling the bowl.
What did I get from Taco Time? Beans and rice. No cheese. What did the
others get? I'm sure that nobody here cares. Oh! Did I tell you to FOAD?
Yeah, I know that I did. I just wanted to say it again. :):):)
