    This makes a small batch – perfect for two – of turkey meatball hoagies. Double or triple the recipe as needed to make as many as you need.

    There are days when I sit and wonder who the first caveman was to hop on the back of a woolly  mammoth and take a bite, spit out the fur and think, “dang, this is good.”  Did he know that if when he pulled the fur off and put that large chunk of meat over an open flame that it would be even better? Or was there another innovative caveman who decided that it would be fun to play with fire. Was it a moment of genius or were we just raging pyromaniacs the moment we realized we could create fire and everything got set ablaze?

    Then, later in our history (and I am sure thousands of cases of explainable food poisonings later), who decided that mixing ground meats into tiny bite-sized portions and baking them would be a good idea?

    Whoever sat around and came up with these deserves a round of applause. First, they were probably kind of crazy… Walking around shoving things into their mouths, and well… they helped us get where we are today. Now I can mix my meats without fear of death or violent sickness because of those who were stupid brave enough to come before me.

      I have very similar thoughts all the time! Especially when it comes to baking. Who figured out that you need to add eggs (and that you can eat eggs), and then where on earth did baking soda and powder come from? And when you cook it it’ll turn into something delicious?
