Meatloaf....
Somethings in life are like when I attempt meatloaf-a nice thought, but better left as a thought. I think... this is going to be so yummy... a nice loaf of savory meat cooked in its own gravy.... Ben's favorite.... He's going to really appreciate this.... I dream of a wonderful dinner with the fam all around scarfing my perfect meatloaf.... Ok, then reality hits....I can't make meatloaf! What am I doing? What is THAT in my oven?? It smells good - even Ryan knows that. 'Mommy, what IS that anyway?' But does it look good? no. I pull it out to test for doneness.... Checking the middle, where's the middle??? There is no MIDDLE. Just mush, hamburger soup maybe? So, maybe I should stir it??? So I stir it...maybe it would be good over rice - - yeah! Rice and meat and gravy!!! YUM!! No, it isn't. It's edible, though and I have 3 men drooling for dinner - they just don't know what it is yet. So, SURPRISE!!! Ryan is excited, Ben is trying to be nice (yes Ben I can tell when you are only trying to be nice:) Ryan says, mommy, that's ewe, I don't like meat. It's yuck! Honesty is his best attribute:) except when he's in trouble. Hey, it looks kinda like my cat's food, wonder if she'll eat it.... Here kitty!! Kitty, Kitty..... Yummy food for you! Hey, it got two sniffs atleast... yup, it's still sitting on the kitchen floor.... Meatloaf is for SISSIES - right? Yeah, we are too good for meatloaf.... That's gotta be it!! We should start a group - MHA - meatloaf haters association - YEAH!!! Any one with me???

Funny! Thanks for sharing the story. I have to say though that Amy has figured the meatloaf out pretty good, in fact very good. I love it! But I could understand how it would be hard to make... I've never made it!
Funny story Debbie...Sorry it didn't turn out. Food is expensive enough, let alone when the meal doesn't turn out. Can be frustrating...I'm glad you had a good attitude about it. Meatloaf is one of our favorites, especially with mashed potatoes and green beans. It just smells so good. It's a great fall/winter meal. My meat loaf doesn't include gravy...it sounds good though.
Too funny. I think dad would agree with you Debbie. Now to me meatloaf is the "great comfort food." Dad asks the neighbors what's for dinner. I've had my own similar stories. Anyone want to share with Debbie the pineapple cake story?
I've never made meatloaf! My mo put onions in it once and I've never been the same since. I guess I should try to make it some time but everytime I think about it I decide that a hamburger is like a little meatloaf.
Yeah Erin!!!! You are a new proud member of the MHA!! Hold you head up high :) Oh, and you're pretty close - not much different than hamburgers and hamburgers are nice to you:)
