"VH1: In your family
meatball recipe, you guys talk about how someone got stabbed trying to get the
last meatball, what happened there?
Renee: Okay, you know who got stabbed don’t you? Let me
give you a hint, IT HURT REALLY BAD. That’s who got stabbed for the meatball!
Who stabbed me? That I won’t give away because I will never implicate anybody,
especially not my sister. But let me just say this, she’s the brains of the
operation. I’m telling you, I still have the scar, no joke, she took her fork
and jabbed me. A fork is hard to get through the skin. Yeah, she got me. It
hurt really bad.
Jennifer: It was my meatball. And I put it aside and
hid it for me. And she knew that!! I caught her sneaking to eat after I just
came back from a rough soccer game starving. So I poked her a little!! It was a
fork!!
Renee: I was bleeding and chewing at the same time.
VH1: Renee, the
meatball recipe in the cookbook also mentions how you ran out of bread crumbs
one day and used crushed up potato chips instead in your recipe. That actually
sounds really good.
Renee: I was newly married and having everyone over at
my house for the first time. At least 20 people were coming over. And I ran out
of bread crumbs. I couldn’t go out because I was cooking the sauce, so I was
like, hmmm, I need to improvise. And instead of putting toast in the toaster to
make bread crumbs — and we all know how much I hate crumbs — I was
like, gimme that bag of Wise potato chips, so I smushed them and was like
forget it, just put the potato chips in there, and do you know there was at
least six dozen meatballs, at least, and we didn’t even get halfway through
dinner and every one of them was gone. I held it in till the very end and was
like “I made them with Wise potato chips!” They still ask me for these
meatballs.
It sounds delicious,
I actually really want to try that now.
Renee: Did you just say ‘delicious’ to me??
Sorry! But how are
you going to handle people now that you have a cookbook coming out when they
tell you your food is delicious?
Renee: Honestly, I was never mad at the word. Food is
delicious. Not your girl’s man. Nowadays, I prefer the word delectable."
