Have you ever found yourself in this situation: you put your meal in the microwave to warm it up, then get caught up in handling an urgent task? All the while, you're looking forward to savoring the delicious taste of your food and the prospect of unwinding. But when you finally return, you find that your meal has turned into a rock because it was overheated.
Now you stand over your hard-as-rock meal, contemplating your life choices, questioning the urgency of that task, and mentally berating yourself for forsaking your one true love.
Was that task truly urgent, or could you have spared a mere 20 minutes to be with your meal? It was meant to be you and your meal, standing together through thick and thin. Oh, the bitter sorrow. Goodbye, my beautiful meal, you will be missed. Perhaps these rock-hard meatballs will nurture the ground we walk on and one day give rise to beautiful trees and flowers.
