another hot muggy day here in Minnesota. I thought perhaps I would make a meat loaf today and so here is my special recipe for meatloaf. Of course you have to have hamburger lots of chopped onions chopped green bell peppers diced tomatoes ( happen to have the Italian style today) cracker crumbs a couple of eggs chopped celery all sorts of seasonings: salt and pepper of course, garlic, paprika, cayenne, and a few drops of tabasco. yes, i am making it on the hot side today. bake until done. you can tell I am a taste and stir cook. Don't measure too much. I am on a low carb diet due to diabetis. but I am sure going to break that diet on my birthday next week. Looking forward to the fish "n more Long John Silvers meal, a banana split from dairy queen and a real, real coke. probably won't get it but I can dream. I often wonder why I do some things that my kids can't figure out. Usually because it is something my mother or grandmother did. I always separate eggs when baking a cake....add the yolks well beaten, and then fold in the egg whites very stiffly beaten. Makes the cake fluffier. I put just a dash of ginger and a tsp of sugar in almost everything. It includes veggies. Seems to draw out the flavor. A 1/4 tsp of ginger in the yeast mixture acts as a catalyst in helping the dough rise. Well, off to the meatloaf. |
