My boyfriend, Stephen, had an interesting response to what I made him for dinner tonight. He wasn't exactly thrilled about the meatballs. He said "Hmm, spaghetti and meatballs? I mean, Spaghetti and steak would be good or spaghetti and chicken, but meatballs?! But... I'll eat it." Of course this made me think... First of all, you better eat it if I made it for you. Second of all, what's wrong with meatballs? Third of all, spaghetti and steak? What? ... Well, about 45 minutes after dropping the food off to him at work, I got a text message saying that he had changed his mind because the meatballs were really good.
