Game Night 2

So we are going to a game night at another couples place tonight. We were told it would be appetizers and italian.

We decided to make the following appetizers. Photos coming. I made Anthony take some :)

BBQ Meatballs (no I do not do the grape jelly thing)
1 pound ground meat
1/3 cup chopped onion (which we ended up sauteing with some garlic first)
1/2 cup italian bread crumbs
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 egg
1/4 cup milk

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Mix all ingredients and form bite sized balls. Bake for about 10 -12 minutes. We put foil on a sheet pan and bake them on that.

BBQ sauce
2 cups Heinz chili sauce (2 bottles)
1/2 cup vinegar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons dry mustard
3 tablespoons chopped onion
2 cloves garlic
2 dashes Worcestershire sauce
2 drops Tabasco sauce
2 tablspoons butter
2 bay leaves

Mix all together in a saucepan and simmer for an hour. After simmering take out the bay leaves. (I throw the sauce in the crockpot and flip it on high because I put the meatballs in there and keep the pot on while people are eating). Add the meatballs to sauce and bake in a covered casserole dish for an hour.

Raku

Last night our friends had reservations for Raku and invited us along. We went to the Bethesda location but there is also a location near Dupont Circle and in Arlington. http://www.rakuasiandining.com/ They only had chopsticks at the table and I'm terrible at using them Luckily everyone else at the table was great at using chopsticks. When our friends were served the tofu salad (this looked good and you must love seaweed) they brought them forks but they used chopsticks and I scored a fork :) Our friends also ordered some spring rolls but the spring rolls on the menu seemed to come with shrimp which I dont eat. The dipping sauces that came with their rolls looked really good. The presentation of the dish was really nice They split an entree which was a bento box with beef tenderloin with pomegranate wine sauce (they said the sauce was divine) and an assortment of fish, tempura veggies, some mushrooms etc. It was a huge box of food My husband and I ordered 8 tempura green bean s...
