  1. CH;

    I appreciate your post, but I don’t think that’s what happened here. Look through today’s OT. I chatted with folks about good Italian restaurants and Columbus. I was also chatting with folks about meatballs,and then this exchange happened:

    “polpette”;

    Not so. Please go to a restaurant in Italy and please find this item on the menu. I don’t mean a restaurant on some tourist track.

    So typical.

    My in-laws says her mother family made them. They started back from when there wasn’t refrigeration and the scraps and trimmings had to be used before they spoiled. They threw nothing away not even the littlest tidbits of meat.

    But since Benson says not so I’m going to have to tell her that her mother made it all up.

    Um, who heightened the tension level?

    Oh well. Basta! Talk to you tomorrow!

  2. “I think there’s a handful of intemperate posters on here”

    Ditto, I think there might be more than just a few, including myself, according to the dictionary.com definition of intemperate:

    “given to or characterized by excessive or immoderate indulgence in alcoholic beverages.”

  3. I think there’s a handful of intemperate posters on here, Benson only occasionally is so, perhaps he’s picked out because of his politics. Sense of humor failures abound on some sacrosant issues.
