The beef meatballs I made during our Open Kitchen Hour 2 yesterday were not as bouncy as I would have liked - I think it's probably because I 1) didn't freeze the mince for an hour beforehand 2) and because of that, I didn't blend it as finely as I was meant to.
Then this morning we went to Ikea for some furniture shopping and Paul got a craving for Swedish meatballs; instead of eating there, we came home, fried up the beef balls, and served them up with some mashed potato (deliciously made by Paul) and some stir-fried choy sum, along with the crispy onions from yesterday and some lingonberry jam from Ikea. Oh yeah, and some gravy using cream and beef stock (from the cheap beef bones I've been talking about). Kinda worked!
