Day before yesterday I was
fortunate enough to score a 3 pound chub of ground turkey at the
sharing shelf. I'm kind of getting into ground turkey over this last
winter. I used one Pound of ground turkey I got from the sharing
shelf and mixed it with a pound of hamburger. Typically, I would
never have used ground turkey. I thought ground turkey was horrible
are gross to say the least but to my surprise the mixture of these
two proteins resulted in what I felt was a near perfect beloved. A
meatloaf with juicy soft texture and great flavor. It's not that I'm
a hamburger purist I think I kind am still but I am really beginning
to enjoy mixing the turkey. Anyway, my idea was to take the chub
break it into three 1 pound
Packages freezing two and
then produce a meatloaf for Sunday dinner.
I knew that Dianne likes
my meatloaf in fact she says she loves my meatloaf so I gave her a
call and invited her for dinner. Seemed like a perfect thing to do
for a Sunday afternoon for two seniors at something else to do. I was
kind of excited. My new thing to do when cooking is to prepare as
much of a meal the night before as I can. I thought sure I had
everything that I needed but on closer inspection I realized I did
not have a working green pepper. The green pepper I got last week was
toast I found green pepper and onion from a breakfast I made a couple
weeks ago in the back of the fridge all slimy and gooey. It was 9 PM
on Saturday night. I so much wanted green pepper that I was going to
head out to the market but guess what? I couldn't get out of the
building like to gather building but were gated community and all the
gates are closed and the only one gate that I have controls for
doesn't work. I suppose it could've got out the front door which it
be totally circling around the block which I could've done but I
elected not to. I figured I could get up early and run across the
street market.
I was up early but I
figured the market had gone to specialized hours because of the
Coronavirus. I was right I finally got out of here around 7 o'clock
figuring that was a good time. Boy, was I wrong the market was closed
uptight. In fact I couldn't even tell if it was going to open today
was so confused. I thought perhaps I could catch the bus going
southbound to a couple markets on 5400 S. but when I checked the bus
schedule that bus wouldn't be there till 9:45 AM!. I actually rolled
to a Wendy's and got a breakfast sandwich I went back and read the
door and found a notice which indicated they opened at 8 AM and it
was now 7:45 AM. At 8 o'clock I went to the door, I could see people
moving around inside, but the door was an opening finally a young
woman who I guess is management that she had keys to open the door
let me know that the market was an open till 10 AM! That's when I
begged her for green pepper and she actually got my one what kind
person.
I was so pleased the
meatloaf when together quickly and I put it in refrigerator to put
into the oven at 12 o'clock (we're planning on eating at 1 PM).
Dianne brought vegetables, potatoes I can't remember the name they
were great and a beautiful desert and Jeff would cake with lemon
covered in the meringue toasted. It was a perfect lunch we watched
Netflix after four perfect afternoon. It was an adult Sunday may be a
senior Sunday. We sat next to each other enjoyed the meal, cleaned Up
and went our way.
