I just did a blog search
or a search of my blog to be more specific for the term “meatloaf”
because I'm writing again about meatloaf tonight and I was afraid I
was becoming a bit redundant and you know what I must have 10 to 15
references, at least, to meatloaf. References to either making a
meatloaf, thinking about making a meatloaf, receiving a meatloaf is a
gift are other possibilities of meatloaf. I'm just blown away at my
seemingly preoccupation to meatloaf. With that in mind I know I
should probably pass up this, once again salutation to meatloaf but
you know what? It's my blog and I'm writing about meatloaf
specifically Saturday night meatloaf.
I'm not going to try to
fool myself, or you, that Saturday night meatloaf is different then
Sunday afternoon meatloaf are Wednesday meatloaf. It's all meatloaf
and it's all good. Meatloaf was the last thing on my mind today as I
really enjoyed the first full day of sunlight that we've had for some
time with even a little bit of springlike temperatures. It's a
Saturday and things are always a bit more relaxed on the Saturday. I
know a lot of retirees say that all the days of the same to them. I
was even thinking back on my buddy Albert, next door Albert who died
when his Mercury Cougar was tapped by another vehicle causing the
steering wheel air bag to deploy bashing him in the head causing an
aneurysm or brain bleed or whatever happens when the head gets
traumaed. Al commented more than once especially on national holidays
how each day felt the same there's no difference. Anyway it feels
like a weekend to me, regular staff is not here, there are visitors
who show up to see family that you don't see during the week there's
definitely a a weekend feel to the joint. The only task I really gave
myself today was to get over to the market and purchase ahead of
cabbage for tomorrow's St. Patrick's Day dinner. I thought I had a
couple of heads of cabbage rolling around my refrigerator but when I
checked on them indeed they were cabbage but pretty much in the past
tense. The leaves, when I started peeling them back trying to find
usable produce, had a really bizarre papery texture almost like
toilet tissue but tougher. I execute a couple pieces of cabbage leaf
and I had a distant flavor but was definitely not viable for the
celebration of an Irish holiday.
It's Saturday and I washed
clothes yesterday and folded the clothes. I decided to go over to the
food bank and get my weekly stash (I go over every week, as the
readers know, but I read the information bulletin on food bank today
– – really for the first time and it says that I'm only eligible
to go three times a month. I guess they like me) I really love this
exercise today scored big-time with a filet mignon, frozen shrimp and
high-end meatloaf! I decided to cook the meatloaf today that way I
will have the meatloaf for next week even though I'm going to have a
huge sucking brisket of corned beef. I'll freeze what I don't want to
eat.
I totally enjoyed having
this meatloaf, it's a two pounder all set to go in its little pan an
everything. I shoved it in the oven at 375 and cooked it for 45
minutes. The meatloaf is okay it's not the meatloaf that my mom
would've made and it certainly is not the meatloaf that I would've
made. Doesn't seem to have onions and definitely not the green
peppers I would use its even light on the garlic. However cooked up
nice and has enough tomato sauce/catch up on the top to let it pass
is delicious the best part I didn't have to destroy my kitchen
putting the thing together. I almost dropped it trying to get out of
the oven but decided just let it cool down naturally I did slice off
a couple of the end pieces just to do the taste test and I was more
than pleased. It will be cold by the time I go to bed and now drag it
out of the oven than quickly throw it in the refrigerator for this
coming week…
