This is a bit of a task to prepare, but well worth the effort. The
recipe was passed down for many generations in my husbands family who
immigrated here from Russia (being Russian Jews) so, I have no idea
why they called it 'German' meatballs, but a meatball by any other
name...I guess! Put the garlic into a water glass and pour 2 T
boiling water over it. Mash the garlic well, then add 2 T. more
boiling water. Strain through a kitchen towel, saving the liquid
only. Mix together all the ingredients, including garlic liquid then
shape into balls about the size of a large egg. Roll the balls in the
flour until well coated. Melt enough fat to make about 1/2" in a
heavy skillet or cast iron cooking pot. Brown the meat balls in the
fat. Remove the meatballs and pour off all but 4 T. of the fat.
SAUCE: Add the qt. of water to the reserved fat along with thecatsup.
Make a paste of the sauce ingredients, stirring in the water to get a
consistency of a thin cream. After the water-catsup mixture is warm,
slowly add this mixture, stirring constantly to avoid lumping, until
the mixture has been well absorbed into the liquid. Cook gently until
the sauce is slightly thickened. Place meatball in the pan, or in an
oven-proof roaster and make sure they are covered with the sauce.
Cover pan and bake in hot oven for 1 hour. Serve with mashed
potatoes. (My friends also love it with pasta or rice!)

Advice on losing weight

If you enjoy your food, but want to get thinner and enhance your overall well-being, then, without doubt, you should commence a thoughtfully prepared balanced daily routine. At best, this should include 5 standard portions of grains, fruit and vegetables a day and require the right blend of important nutrients.

When deciding on a daily routine, it is important to attempt to cut down your consumption of fats, refined carbohydrates and salt.

When selecting food, dieters most certainly focus on chain store and branded food items professing to be 'low in fat'. To do this is most certainly a mistake, seeing as how a food could be lowered in fat, but whilst still being dangerously high in calories and carbohydrates.

One useful tip is to drink plenty of water. Our bodies need water , it is essential for our survival and is blessed with calories. Water also fills your tummy and helps decrease feelings of emptiness. A few experts allege that we should aim to consume as much as six cups of plain water every day.

As an alternative to paying too much attention to the many types of food you should leave out of your dietary regime, direct your attention to the "good" foods that you can introduce to your weight loss program. If one can manage to inject the recommended amount nutritious fruit and vegetables into your dietary regime, you will be amazed to find that you feel more full and have a significantl;y decreased risk of falling prey to those unhealthy afternoon snacks.
