Lamb Meatball Sliders

Clean Your Patio or Deck, 5 Simple Steps

1. Sweep Up: Once the surface is wet, ev- erything sticks. Anything you can catch with a broom while it’s dry is something that you won’t have to peel up later. 2. Protect Greenery: Hose down plants around your patio or deck, especially if you’re growing vegetables. Coating the garden with water helps soap to slide off. If you want to be extra careful, you can drape some light plastic drop cloths over sensitive zones.

Directions: Preheat the broiler. For the lamb meatballs: Soak the breadcrumbs in the milk for 5 minutes. In a large bowl, combine the lamb, coriander, cumin, garlic, oregano, mint, some salt and pepper, and the soaked breadcrumbs. Mix well, but do not overwork. Fold in the feta, then form the mixture into 8 two inch meatballs. Place the meatballs in a large, greased cast-iron pan. Place the pan 7 to 8 inches from the heating element; broil for 10 to 12 minutes, or until cooked through, turning once halfway through. To assemble the sliders: Load a meatball onto each bun. Top with tomato slices and mayonnaise and garnish.

3. Deal with Stains : Tackling stains can be challenging because not all decks are made from the same material. From concrete to wood, find out how to treat stains properly. 4. Wet-Mop : For wood, use a cleaner like Deck Wash. On concrete, you can use a multipurpose solution. Dilute according to the directions, then use a stiff push broom that’s small enough to dip into a bucket. Get your surface wet and sudsy and put some muscle into it. Then hose down. For stone, fill a large bucket with warm water and add two or three squirts of dish soap. Apply with a nylon push broom. (Don’t use wire bristles on stone—they can scratch.) Scrub until sudsy, then rinse well. When you’re all done, a generous spritz of white vinegar in the spaces between the stones (or in cracks in the concrete) will temporar- ily discourage the growth of weeds. 5. Resist the Pressure : If you’ve rented a pressure washer to clean your house, you may be tempted to use it on the deck or fence. While it can be OK for some surfaces, it can also hurt grout between stones and turn softer wood to pulp. So chek with your rental place before you spray.

I probably broke it.” he says. Through these experiences, Wesley decided to pursue a career in physical therapy. He says he loves helping people that are hurting get back to their normal lives; back to the things they love to do. Wesley went to high school in Conway and was on the baseball team. One of his favorite memories was from his senior year when he graduated high school. The day after graduation was the baseball state championship. Wesley and his team won the championship game, then left that night at 4:00 AM to drive to Panama City Beach for a week. “That was one of the most exciting times with friends and family,” Wesley remembers. Outside of work, Wesley loves to fish and hunt. He also enjoys working out, and is looking into running a spartan race in the future.
