I had meatballs for lunch today. My business partner and I decided to eat at an Italian place called Zizzi's and I decided to chose the meatballs with spaghetti along with a glass of Merlot. However, a few weeks ago, I had the meatballs at another restaurant owned by the same company, and whilst they were very good they were quite small, and I only counted ten of them on my plate. So I told our very pretty waitress about this, and how disappointed I had been, and enquired of her how many meatballs I could expect in her restaurant, and what size they would be. Strangely, it seems, nobody had asked her this before (go figure!!) so whilst she was able to demonstrate to me the size using her thumb and forefinger she could not tell me how many I could expect on my plate. So I told her how much this concerned me and asked her to ensure that the kitchen gave me a good sized helping of meatballs. She said she was happy to oblige, and would also make sure I got plenty of meatballs...  The waitress was as good as her word and I left the restaurant feeling very satisfied.

I am headed out the door for lunch right now. And I think I will have a meat ball sandwich. Maybe I will take a camera and capture a few photos of the feast to share. Maybe not.
I like meat ball sandwiches

And while you're at it, inquire on the size of their meatballs.

A big smile and pleasant tone of voice will work miracles. She might even use her fingers.

My meat ball sub had a total of four meat balls. There were two large ones on each side. There was plenty of melted mozzarella. And the waitress sprinkled fresh Parmesan over all four meat balls.
It was quite delicious and I could not eat all of it. The waitress graciously placed half of the sub with two of my meat balls in a clear plastic container for me. Now I can have a meat ball sub for lunch tomorrow too.
I like meat ball subs. And the waitress was quite nice too.

But did you check with the waitress how big your balls were going to be before you ordered?

Nola, glad you had a good lunch but I was looking toward seeing a picture. Speaking of meat and balls, steamed dumplings are a personal Asian favorite, they look like testicles but if you get over that, they do have a certain something something!  |

I like when my wife gently pulls on my dumplings sometimes, not to be confused with flat out busting my balls over nonsense.  |

Molten cheese can burn meatballs, not to mention your mouth, please take care next time... maybe the waitress can blow on them for you |
