Last week we were eating homemade hamburgers with our friends Sarah and Brian, and I forgot to set out napkins on the table. My hands were covered in hamburger-ness (I don’t believe in neat hamburgers), but I noticed that Sarah’s hands were perfectly clean. “What gives?? Why are your hands so clean??” She said, “Probably because I’m a tidier eater than you…Also I wiped my hands on my pants.” This is why we’re friends.
One time I was eating dinner with Eric’s family. We had just said the prayer and started eating when I looked around and said, “How come I’m the only one who got a napkin?” and it was only when everyone started laughing that I realized everyone DID have a napkin, it was just already on their laps. You know, where napkins are supposed to go when you’re eating. I should definitely let them know about Sarah’s strategy though. It will be a revolution! Who needs napkins when you have pants?
You know how packages of pepperoni come with little packets that say DO NOT EAT on them? Does anyone know what’s actually in them? Because I definitely have no idea. All I know is that if you are chopping up your pepperoni in a food processor so that you can add it to meatballs, TAKE OUT THE PACKET first. Definitely realized that too late the first time. Good thing I had more pepperoni in the freezer! IF you can remember to take out the Do Not Eat packet, then these meatballs are super easy. Also DELICIOUS. It’s like pizza-flavored meatballs. What’s not to love? Add it to some quick pasta and sauce and dinner is done. Facebook | Pinterest | Instagram | Twitter More meatballs!
