Swedish Meatballs

Tell her you're vegiterian, just hope you don't get married or it's gaspacho at all the family bbqs.

Tell her you got food sickness and can't make it.

Tell her your family were taken hostage by the Sweds in the old country. You can't really talk about it *tear* but you can't eat anything Swedish in honor of those brave souls.

Swedish meatballs are gross, like jodi says, tell her your a vegetarian

Is your last name Schweaty? that would be awesome...
Seriously though, suck it up and make the balls - or break up with her. Cooking IS the best hobby a person can enjoy. It's social, creative, it makes people happy, it makes you happy, and the rewards are immediate. Can't say that about sudoku or model airplanes.
This is the recipe that has treated me best the few times I've made Swedish Meatballs http://scandinaviancooking.com/articles/swedish_meatballs.htm
- In the "filler" section, go with the 1 cup of torn bread
- I like the pan fried balls better, I've made both
- Make the sherry sauce, but don't use bouillon, use real low-sodium broth (or it will be too salty). And get real sherry from the liquor store not that salt-bomb stuff in the grocery. It will keep it from getting too salty and you can drink it to ease your pain. Give some to her mom too but watch out for a cougar attack - moms love guys who cook.

Suck it up and try something new and don't offend her.

We are Norwegian, and we love swedish meat balls LOL They are just meatballs cooked in sherry for gods sake try them LOL
