Random Food Night Spaghetti and Meatballs

I'm going to share a little secret with you.  Lean in a bit closer, it's a big one.  I don't always share my dinners with you in sequential order.  There.  It's out.  I feel better.  So much more honest.  It's been weighing on me.

Ok, it hasn't been weighing on me.  I came clean because I was being questioned about where my post for the most recent Random Food Night was.  Random Food Night was this past Saturday night.  On Sunday I posted about my little dinner celebration with sushi and cupcakes.  Not Random Food Night.  I got caught up in launching my new business Career Dragon and forgot all about it.  And the sushi distracted me.

So here it is.  Random Food Night with spaghetti and meatballs.  And more people.  We're developing a following.  That's right.  We're just that cool.

It's probably more that it's just really entertaining to watch the three of us cook while we empty one wine bottle after another.

I really don't have a recipe for this today.  I made the sauce and the salad dressing, Ken made the meatballs and Grace made the salad.  It was a group effort and all I can say about the ingredients with any certainty is that it was all fueled with good wine.

And there were tomatoes in the sauce and a lot (A LOT!) of garlic in the meatballs.  I know about the garlic because I peeled all the cloves for Ken.  He wouldn't do it himself.  He was whining about having raw meat on his hands.  Whatever.  Diva.

But the meatballs were really good.  Seriously.  They made the whole dish.  The man has a way with balls.

Wait.  I'll be nice and tell you one recipe.   The dressing was the lemon and olive oil concoction I've given directions for in a past post.  So there you go.  You get one recipe, the dressing.  But you have to look it up.  I'm not going to do it for you.  Be happy I did it once and quit complaining.
