@Myqpalm: Thank you for the entry! (Although you might want to specify what mats you want in your participation category, or at least what you're ragecrafting so I know what to send if you get that)

@Ninza and Raspberry: Thanks for the mini-entries, too!

Last day for this week's mini contest, game, and posting raffle, peeps!

If more than one winner want the same prize, how will you decide who gets it?
This is a complicated one, and the reason I asked everyone to choose their top three prizes; I have a lot of different things and want to make sure each winner gets something they actually want. If more than one person want the same thing and are entitled to a prize on that level, I'll first make an effort to liquidate a prize no one wants to get the one that both winners are asking for instead. If I'm unable to do that, I'll take a look at their second picks (and third, if necessary). If someones second choice is worth more, they're likely to get it instead of their first so they'll have a more valuable prize to make up for not getting their first choice; if I've spoken to one of the winners and they've mentioned to me that they want their second choice almost as much as their first or that they want all of their choices about the same amount and that they're in no particular order, that person will get their second choice because I know they will be happier with it than the other person would have been with theirs. Beyond that, it may end up being a lot of juggling and judgement calls on my part.

Romulus and Remus are the twin brothers and central characters of Rome's foundation myth. Their mother was Rhea Silvia, daughter to Numitor, king of Alba Longa. Before their conception, Numitor's brother Amulius had seized power, killed Numitor's male heirs and forced Rhea Silvia to become a Vestal Virgin, sworn to chastity. Rhea Silvia conceived the twins by the god Mars, or by the demi-god Hercules; once the twins were born, Amulius had them abandoned to die in the riverTiber. They were saved by a series of miraculous interventions: the river carried them to safety, a she-wolf found and suckled them, and a woodpecker fed them. A shepherd and his wife found and fostered them to manhood, as simple shepherds. The twins, still ignorant of their true origins, were natural leaders. Each acquired many followers. When they discovered the truth of their birth, they killed Amulius and restored Numitor to his throne. Rather than wait to inherit Alba Longa they chose to found a new city.

Romulus wanted to found a city on the Palatine Hill; Remus preferred the Aventine Hill.[2] They agreed to determine the site through augury but when each claimed the results in his own favor, they quarreled and Remus was killed.[3][4] Romulus founded the new city, named it Rome, after himself, and created its first legions and senate. The new city grew rapidly, swelled by landless refugees; as most were unmarried, Romulus arranged the abduction of women from the neighboring Sabines. The ensuing war ended with the joining of Sabines and Romans as one Roman people. Thanks to divine favour and Romulus' inspired leadership, Rome became a dominant force, but Romulus himself became increasingly autocratic, and disappeared or died in mysterious circumstances. In later forms of the myth, he ascended to heaven, and was identified with Quirinus, the divine personification of the Roman people.

The legend as a whole encapsulates Rome's ideas of itself, its origins and moral values. For modern scholarship, it remains one of the most complex and problematic of all foundation myths, particularly in the matter and manner of Remus' death. Ancient historians had no doubt that Romulus gave his name to the city. Most modern historians believe his name a back-formation from the name Rome; the basis for Remus' name and role remain subjects of ancient and modern speculation. The myth was fully developed into something like an "official", chronological version in the Late Republican and early Imperial era; Roman historians dated the city's foundation to between 758 and 728 BC, and Plutarch reckoned the twins' birth year as c. 771 BC. An earlier tradition that gave Romulus a distant ancestor in the semi-divine Trojan prince Aeneas was further embellished; and Romulus was made the direct ancestor of Rome's first Imperial dynasty. Possible historical bases for the broad mythological narrative remain unclear and disputed.[5] The image of the she-wolf suckling the divinely fathered twins became an iconic representation of the city and its founding legend, making Romulus and Remus preeminent among the feral children of ancient mythography.

Meatballs
1 lb Ground Turkey
1× 10-oz pkg Frozen Chopped Spinach, thawed and well-drained
1 Egg
Approx 1 Cup Italian Bread Crumbs
Approx 1 Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
Approx 1 Cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
1 tsp Garlic Salt
Black Pepper, to taste
¾ lb to 1 Lb Spaghetti
½ cup to 3/4 Cup White Wine
¼ cup Lemon Juice
½ cup Chicken Broth
3-4 Tbsp Butter
1-2 cloves Chopped Garlic

Directions:

Mix all of the meatball ingredients and shape into meatballs. Put 1 tablespoon olive oil in an oven-going skillet and brown meatballs. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Once meatballs are browned, put skillet in the oven, finish cooking the meatballs for about 20 minutes. (If you don't have a skillet that can go in the oven, then a baking sheet is fine.)

Once you put your meatballs in the oven, bring water to boiling. Add spaghetti and cook the spaghetti to al dente. When your meatballs are done, remove from skillet and set aside. Deglaze the pan with the white wine, lemon, and chicken broth, then put in the butter and chopped garlic and cook, uncovered, until slightly thickened. Once your pasta is done, retain 1 cup of the pasta water and drain the pasta. Put pasta into the skillet and add some of the pasta water as needed. Toss the pasta to coat and put your meatballs back in also to coat. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top to serve.

Hmm... Looks like one of my family members was saving the recipe for those delicious turkey meatballs I had the other day... Feel free to use it; they're amazing!
