Christey's been into meatball subs lately. Having spent a chunk of my childhood and college years in New England and New York, I've had gobs of 'em, but Christey, being Floridian (and not from a New York suburb like Boca Raton) never got into them until lately.

So, instead of Subway and such, I got some hamburger and provolone and sub rolls, and this evening, I've been making meatballs and marinara sauce. The house smells like an Italian grandmother's apartment, which is one of the most wonderful smells ever. And I don't even have an Italian grandmother (mine are/were Polish and Russian/German/South African).

Anyway, I'm making meatballs, and the smell is nice, and I'm remembering my apartment in college when my very Italian roommate (Ammie Maravelli, and yeah, it was a guy named Ammie) made meatballs marinara on Sundays, with pepperoni in the sauce and how good it smelled. Then I realized that, hey, wait...I was a vegetarian in college. How do I have this nostalgia for something I didn't eat?

We make pot stickers a lot and use ground pork for those, too. That would be a fun dinner to make with the kids. We premake all the wanton-stickers and then have two cook pans going at once for the actual cooking. We'll make 80 or so at a time. They even freeze well.
