Meatballs are a staple worldwide and are usually made from leftovers, combining different cuts and types of ground meat. In Sweden, it's common to find meatballs made with ground beef, pork and sometimes veal mixed together with breadcrumbs, onions and broth. Swedish meatballs are generally small -- about 1 inch in diameter -- and may be served in brown or white gravy. Swedish meatballs are a popular hors d'oeuvres in the U.S. and pair well with a variety of different wines.
Jewish dietary laws are very strict on what types of foods can be eaten, especially during certain times of the year, such as Passover. These dietary laws are also enforced on a daily basis, especially around what type of animals can be eaten and how they can be prepared. Matzo is a ground meal that makes unleavened bread. Although matzo balls are traditionally seasoned with salt and ground black pepper, they can be rather bland. One way to spice them up in soup is to fill them with a savory meat stuffing -- one that still meets the requirements of…
Pork ball soup provides a light main course or a starter for a heavier meal. The delicately spiced pork complements the simple ingredients in this Chinese dish. Use unseasoned ground pork for the balls. You can prepare the pork balls ahead of time, and freeze or refrigerate them until you are ready to make the soup.

Grapefruit is a member of the citrus family, along with oranges, lemons and limes. Grapefruit trees thrive in warm climates, and most commercially produced grapefruit is grown in Florida.

Proper planning, planting, growing and harvesting will allow you to grow sweet grapefruit-producing trees.
Spanish style roofs are found in the southwestern United States, South Africa and throughout the Mediterranean. Spanish roofing tiles are available in various types of materials, patterns, finishes and colors. The materials used to make these tiles, such as clay and concrete, have a low moisture absorption rate, which makes them nearly unbreakable.
In landscaping, trees are a flexible media; with some patience and a little forming, they can take on any shape imaginable, from artistic sculptures to useful arches. Spain’s rich architectural scenery of churches, castles, gardens, tunnel roads and waterways renders thoughts of curvaceous, overhead archways. Use any young and flexible, 11- or 12-foot-tall deciduous trees or evergreens to create natural arches that evoke a Spanish style over a driveway or walkway.
Many homes have driveways built from concrete or asphalt. Both materials work very well in a driveway, but can look plain and ordinary. Another option to consider is to use stone or bricks, such as Italian-style bricks. These are bricks that are created to resemble bricks that have been used in roads and buildings in Italy for centuries. This can provide you with a durable driveway that has a more attractive, classical appearance than asphalt or concrete.

Spanish architecture typically uses a lot of archways, tiled roofs and stuccoed exteriors. Wood trim is also common, and Spanish-style homes often have large porches and utilize brighter colors. While it is challenging to change the architectural style of a Spanish-designed home if you don't like the look of it, there are ways of improving the home's appearance if you think the current appearance and color scheme is ugly. This requires work, but the end results are worth it.
The Spanish language has several words for porch. A portico describes a church porch, and a porche describes a house porch. In the U.S., veranda and terraza are also common. Spanish style porches vary widely, with new homes taking influence from many styles and melding the signature adobe, iron grill work and carved wood and mixing it with a variety of non-Spanish porch styles. Most traditional Spanish porches have tiled or cement floors in common.

If you've ever perused the meat counter in your local grocery store trying to decide on which sausage to buy, you likely encountered several different labels that might have confused you.

What type of sausage it is also indicates whether you have to cook it prior to eating.

Used during Passover in Jewish custom, matzo bread represents the beginning of harvest time in Israel, according to the Jewish Virtual Library. A flat bread that typically resembles a large cracker, matzo is made from a mixture of flour and water cooked quickly to avoid rising, or leavening, to produce an "unleavened" bread. Although a symbol of religious practice for Jews, matzo has many uses outside of tradition.
