Italian Wedding Soup aka the Battle for the Meatballs
Sometimes you might think I deprived my family of food for days if you watched the race to the stove for seconds after dinner. Oh, my poor starving babies, mama has been so mean, you need to fight for every scrap, every morsel of meat to make up for weeks of famine. NOT!
Last night’s dinner was Italian Wedding Soup from the current “Food Network Magazine”. The broth, pasta, and vegetables didn’t excite anyone enough to fight for seconds. But, as you probably guessed, the meatballs didn’t pass unnoticed. In fact, as soon as Louisa finished her pork meatballs, she was on her way to the stove for more. As was Joe who followed right on her heels. Who will get more meatballs? Luckily there was enough to satisfy them both without soup bowls sloshing all over the kitchen. But for me, today, leftovers? Only broth, vegetables and pasta were left for me. Cue the violins.

Got something to say?
I guess you wanted to have a meatball too since you seemed a little disappointed in broth, pasta, and vegetables. Maybe you should have made more meatballs.
Well, I had a couple of meatballs at dinner but there weren’t any left to go with the leftover soup. I made the amount specified in the recipe. I should have known better.
