    I don't recall us ever doing it; she probably had the thought that we would, if given the chance tho. Doubt we ever would, actually. Same as
    she never made meat balls for spaghetti, claiming the same reason. I figured she didn't know how to make good meat balls or didn't want to
    take the time to make them.

    Maybe she grew up with the disputes of "yours is bigger than mine" and didn't want to deal with it with her kids.... We never made meatballs
    for spaghetti, either, but we put plenty of browned ground beef into
    the sauce that got mixed in with the spaghetti when we made up a pot of it... :)

    On a recent cooking show that we watched, some people were waxing
    estatic over the meatballs at some Italian restaurant in Las Vegas.
    Gail makes meatballs at home, Michael made meatballs for the church
    brunch (Which I am sure he did so that he would have something he might
    eat) (which were quite good). BUT, I would never consider ordering
    meatballs at an Italian restaurant. When I order at a restaurant, I
    want to order a dish that I would not choose not to make at home.
    Spagetti and meatballs is not such a dish. Meatloaf is not such a dish.
    We do make an exception with hamburgers which we do order out and make
    at home.

    I could see eating something at a restaurant that I might make at home,
    just to see how it was... especially if I knew their version of it was significantly different from what I would make... :) But generally, we
    don't eat at restaurants that serve what I'd likely make at home
    anyway... :) I've had the meatballs and sausage in sauce from Wegmans
    hot foods bar... they were pretty nice... ;)
