A meatball is made from an amount of ground meat rolled into a small ball, sometimes along with other ingredients, such as breadcrumbs, minced onion, spices, and possibly eggs. Meatballs are usually prepared and rolled by hand, and are cooked by frying, baking, steaming, or braising in sauce.
There are many kinds of meatball recipes using different types of meats and spices, including vegetarian and fish alternatives, and various methods of preparation.
The ancient Roman cookbook Apicius included many meatball-type recipes.[citation needed] From the Balkans to India, there is a large variety of meatballs in the kofta family.[citation needed]
Kofta is a Middle Eastern and South Asian meatball or dumpling. The word kofta is derived from Persian kūfta: In Persian, کوفتن (Kuftan) means "to beat" or "to grind" or meatball. In the simplest form, koftas consist of balls of minced or ground meat – usually beef or lamb – mixed with spices and/or onions. The vegetarian variety like lauki kofta, shahi aloo kofta, malaai kofta are popular in India.

Agnes: [narrating] He probably won't kill me. It ain't happened yet. But, it's like when people tell you that their dog doesn't bite. How do they know?
Agnes: [narrating] I remember when I was ten somebody gave me a diary for a present. But I felt like it was too late, so I didn't write in it. Too much had already happened. So, it wouldn't be the whole story. I feel that way again, and I'm fourteen. Nobody'd believe it. Ain't nobody to tell. A girl falls in the city, but nobody sees it. Did it happen?
Agnes: Hey Bee, you coming back?::Bee: You making breakfast?::Agnes: I can make macaroni & cheese. Only we don't have any milk, or any butter.::Bee: Orange water macaroni?::Agnes: I found some Nacho Cheese Doritos, I can smash 'em up in the bowl with the water.
Agnes: [narrating] I left my mother and the man I thought loved me in that house. I left my mother and my rapist in that house. I left my mother and my mother's pimp in that house. Look at all the people it takes to make up a person. Ain't that nothin'?

Plot
A friend delivers John Twiller greetings from a long gone high school girlfriend. This makes him open his school's yearbook - his "Book of Love" - and remember the old times, way back in 1956, when he was in his last year of high school and his family just moved to the town. He hung out with geeky Paul Kayne and tried to get the attention of Lily, who unfortunately was together with bully Angelo.

Plot
During the Second World War, onboard a small insignificant ship in the U.S. Pacific Fleet, an event occurs unlike any that the United States Navy has ever experianced. A Ship's Captain is removed from his command by his Executive Officer in an apparent outright act of mutiny. As the trial of the mutineers unfold, it is then learned that the Captain of the ship was mentally unstable, perhaps even insane. The Navy must then decide: was the Caine Mutiny a criminal act? Or an act of courage to save a ship from destruction at the hands of her Captain.

At last on the screen!
Fred MacMurray as Keefer... the brain who plotted "The Caine Mutiny"
Jose Ferrer as Greenwald... who understood the reason for "The Caine Mutiny"
Van Johnson as Maryk... whose damning diary sparked "The Caine Mutiny"
Humphrey Bogart as Queeg... the Captain and the cause of "Caine Mutiny"
Lt. Keith: Situation quiet; the Captain's been put away for the night.
Barney Greenwald: I don't want to upset you too much, but at the moment you have an excellent chance of being hanged.
[Regarding Captain Queeg]::Lt. Keith: Well, he's certainly Navy.::Lt. Keefer: Yeah... so was Captain Bligh.
[Discussing Captain Queeg's sanity]::Lieutenant Tom Keefer: Will you look at the man? He's a Freudian delight; he crawls with clues!
Barney Greenwald: I'm going to be frank with you two. I've read the preliminary investigation very carefully and I think that what you've done stinks.
Captain DeVriess: Disappointed they assigned you to a minesweeper, Keith?::Ensign Willie Keith: Well, sir, to be honest, yes, sir.::Captain DeVriess: You saw yourself on a carrier, or a battleship, no doubt.::Ensign Willie Keith: Yes, sir, I had hoped...::Captain DeVriess: Well, I only "hope" that you're good enough for the Caine.::Ensign Willie Keith: I shall try to be worthy of this assignment, sir.::Captain DeVriess: She's not a battleship or a carrier; the Caine is a beaten-up tub. After 18 months of combat it takes 24 hours a day just to keep her in one piece.
Lt. Keefer: This is the engine room; to operate, all you need is any group of well-trained monkeys. 99 percent of everything we do is strict routine. Only one percent requires creative intelligence.
Captain Queeg: Ahh, but the strawberries that's... that's where I had them. They laughed at me and made jokes but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt and with... geometric logic... that a duplicate key to the wardroom icebox DID exist, and I'd have produced that key if they hadn't of pulled the Caine out of action. I, I, I know now they were only trying to protect some fellow officers...
Lt. Commander Philip Francis Queeg: Mr. Maryk, you may tell the crew for me that there are four ways of doing things aboard my ship: The right way, the wrong way, the Navy way, and my way. They do things my way, and we'll get along.
Chief Budge: [Queeg is distracted while the Caine is turning] Hey, Meatball! Am I seein' things or are we about to run over our own tow line!::Meatball: That's crazy; we can't be... we are about to run over our own tow line! What are they doin' up there?
