February's winner is: Swedish Meatballs
This recipe comes from my mom’s Swedish side of the family.. still one of my favorite go-to comfort food recipes.
Yield: about 60 meatballs
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons minced onions
2/3 cup fresh bread crumbs
1 cup water
3/4 pound lean ground beef
3/4 pound lean ground pork
2 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon grated or ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
4 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups beef stock
Fresh chopped parsley (for garnish)
Directions:
In a small, heavy skillet over medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Add the onions and saute, stirring often until soft, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside
In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread crumbs and water. Let stand until soft, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add the reserved onions along with the beef, pork, egg yolks, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and allspice. Blend with wooden spoon or hands until smooth. Shape the meat into 1-inch balls; place on a large sheet pan to rest
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons butter. Cook the meatballs in batches of about 15 to 20 at a time and brown on all sides. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels, then move to a serving platter. Cover with foil to keep warm
When all the meatballs are cooked, reduce the heat to low and add the flour to the skillet. Cook, stirring, until lightly browned. Slowly add the beef stock. Cook, whisking, until the gravy is thick and smooth. Pour the gravy over the meatballs and serve over egg noodles. Garnish with chopped parsley

Did you know a woman name Martha Thomas originally made the Cabbage Patch Kids and sold them at craft fairs? But when a man named Xavier Roberts eventually saw them, he started producing them himself.
A lawsuit evolved that lasted 10 years as she had no copyright on her creations. She did receive a settlement after 10 years. 
You never know what you'll learn on the Pony Up board contests!
We had several random contests with the tokens going to whoever answered correctly first, voting contests to determine who the best actors would be to portray Chad, Badger and Mecir, (check it out to see who won), caption contest, icon hunt, word search and a slogan contest for the Pony Up board, which was won by squirrel with her winning slogan of:
It is now the official slogan of the Pony Up! board!
So stop by and see if there might be a contest you would like to enter to have a chance at winning tokens and golderos! There is a second place token for the occasional contest, too, AND a bonus token. But ONLY if you like fun and contests and prizes. You'll get to vote for your favorites, too!

You know, I can’t remember how I first heard of this site. Had to be from someone I know. I have been playing on here for 10 years.
I enjoy playing the large variety of games this site offers. I am very much a people person and have met some wonderful people on here,
was able to meet one of them a few years back. I enjoy playing any of the gammon games, shake games as well as cribbage. If memory serves
cribbage was what first attracted me.
Also I enjoy the fact that I have met people from other states and better yet people from other countries.

to HeartOnFire, who submitted this story:
A young adult man in his 20's
was attentively looking out the window of a train 
and shouted, "Look father at the trees and flowers 
, they are going behind!"
The father smiled at his son admiringly. A young couple sitting nearby couldn't help overhearing, looked at the young man's childish comment with empathy 
.
Excitedly, the young man exclaimed again, "Father, look at the clouds
, they are running with us!"
The couple couldn't resist, saying to the old man, "Why don't you take your son to a good doctor
, that maybe could offer some help to him?" 
The old man smiled
and said, "I did! I am just bringing him home 
from the hospital. My son was blind from birth, and he just got his vision today 
. I have always been so very proud of my son 
, but today my heart is rejoicing for him in leaps and bounds!!
The End
Moral: Every person in the world has a story. Be kind! Don't judge people before you truly know them!

Did you know a woman name Martha Thomas originally made the Cabbage Patch Kids and sold them at craft fairs? But when a man named Xavier Roberts eventually saw them, he started producing them himself.
A lawsuit evolved that lasted 10 years as she had no copyright on her creations. She did receive a settlement after 10 years. You never know what you'll learn on the Pony Up board contests!
We had several random contests with the tokens going to whoever answered correctly first, voting contests to determine who the best actors would be to portray Chad, Badger and Mecir, (check it out to see who won), caption contest, icon hunt, word search and a slogan contest for the Pony Up board, which was won by squirrel with her winning slogan of:
Hi-Yo Silver! Away! There's Contests and Prizes, so Pony Up Today!
It is now the official slogan of the Pony Up! board!
So stop by and see if there might be a contest you would like to enter to have a chance at winning tokens and golderos! There is a second place token for the occasional contest, too, AND a bonus token. But ONLY if you like fun and contests and prizes. You'll get to vote for your favorites, too!

| Testimonial Of The Month |
| Brought to you by: *GoldToken* Players |
You know, I can’t remember how I first heard of this site. Had to be from someone I know. I have been playing on here for 10 years.
I enjoy playing the large variety of games this site offers. I am very much a people person and have met some wonderful people on here,
was able to meet one of them a few years back. I enjoy playing any of the gammon games, shake games as well as cribbage. If memory serves
cribbage was what first attracted me.
Also I enjoy the fact that I have met people from other states and better yet people from other countries.

Best Club Banner
Enter GoldToken's Club Banner Contest! The winning banner will be given one full year to run! All entries will rotate with the other banners on top of player game sheets for 30 days from the day they are added to the system. The entry deadline is March 30th. A site wide poll will be posted for voting on March 31st. To enter, post a new, never before seen 800x90 or 200x200 pixel club banner on the Club Presidents DB along with the club number.
All top banners must be exactly 90 pixels high so the page does not bump up and down as each page loads.

Free banners created using these systems can be incredible and very professional. Here are a couple links to sites that provide this service, however, you you might wish to find others more suited to your taste and abilities by Googling "Free Banners".
Then it is just a matter of uploading your banner to your account's Banner system. http://www.addesigner.com/ http://www.puresilvabannermaker.com/ We have a winner for the Best Goldie Story contest!

, they are running with us!"The couple couldn't resist, saying to the old man, "Why don't you take your son to a good doctor
, that maybe could offer some help to him?" The old man smiled
and said, "I did! I am just bringing him home from the hospital. My son was blind from birth, and he just got his vision today . I have always been so very proud of my son , but today my heart is rejoicing for him in leaps and bounds!!The EndMoral: Every person in the world has a story
