Fast forward to our orders being delivered. The waiter says, "Italian Meatloaf?" This goes to my eldest, Kaylee. I was rather surprised when she orders this, because she is not a huge fan of meatloaf. She will eat it, but it is not something she would request.
She looks at her plate and states, "This isn't exactly what I was expecting."
Me: "What did you think it was?"
Kaylee: "Spaghetti and Meatballs."
??????????
Lesson: When the menu states: MEATLOAF ITALIAN STYLE
Homemade meatloaf prepared with ground beef, sun-dried tomatoes and mozzarella cheese topped with marinara sauce and grilled mushrooms. Accompanied by spaghetti with Brown Butter and Mizithra cheese.
It, indeed, means MEATLOAF!
Kaylee: "But the description on the menu made it sound like meatballs."
Yes, being the good parent I am, I looked up the menu online and showed my 15 year-old the description. Yep, sounds like meatballs to me. WAY more than the description of the dish: Sicilian MEATBALLS.
The waitress must have thought we were lunatics. We were laughing hysterically each time she walked past.
reasons I twitch: Kaylee's fudge.
