You could toss out the "guilt card" and tell her you were looking forward to those meatballs and have her bring some home[Tooth]Quote:

That's funny. When I used to work at Medved, I would go next door and eat at the antique store because they had good sandwiches.Quote:

All this talk about Swedish stuff...
The first girl I ever asked to "go steady" was Swedish. We were in 5th grade at the American School of Algiers. Her name was Helena Ehrenstråhle. Her dad was the Swedish ambassador to Algiers.
I loved going to her house (the Swedish embassy) because they always had stuff there that we couldn't get on the local market...good ice cream, chewing gum, etc... This was probably in the 1968-1970 time-frame.
Dude, you do realize there's food at Ikea, and places to sit and eat food and drink ... if you got dragged there at least you could sit in the restaurant or bistro eating Swedish Meatballs while the Mrs schleps around the place ... hell the hot dog and a coke is like a buck and a half! (if only they also served Påsköl)Quote:

Sorry, Z... You don't know my wife. A) She'll bring me meatballs anyway...she's just like that. B) She's the best cook I've ever met and I have the physique to prove it. If the meatballs are that good she'll make it her life's work to make something even better.Quote:

Fortunately for me (and my bank account), I managed to put about 400 miles between my wife and Ikea before it opened...[ROFL1]
Guys...we don't have it here in the US yet but ikea is planning on beer at their stores. Swedish meatballs, beer....don't have to shop, wife happy...talk our way into more firearms....might be worth it. Just saying.
Ikea furniture is great if you are decorating a dorm room. Anything else no way. It's a bunch of particle board garbage.
