## Summary

My approach to picking the meal for my family was that I wanted to do someting for them because they are always doing something for all of us and it was nice to be able to give back to them in some ways. Also by cooking for my family I was able to have the dinner be more of a mentor, student type experience because my dad was explainging to me how and what i needed to do in order to complete the meal. We did a great job following the rules and was supprisingly easy (other than turning on the 70s sony radio for some good old NPR and All Classical :-) )
One of the best things out of this meal was that because I wasnt paying too close to what meats i mixed together for the meat balls we discovered that putting the beef and pork together plus the seasoning tasted really good. So good infact that my mom stated that I from now on get to cook all the spagetti because she prefered it over my dads own version :). One thing that i definetly learned from the preperation for this was just a lot longer than I had expected. I started the meal at arround 6 and then finished at around 8 which was supprising and gave me a whole new perspective on what my dad needs to do everyday when he cooks our dinners.
