Stephen King claimed he didn't like that movie.

It was probably leaking for many years before that. I wonder how
much damage they'll find underneath the leaky tiles.

1 lb Hamburg
1 egg
1/2 C breadcrumbs or crumbled up bread
1/4 C ketchup
1/2 C cooked chopped onions
Fresh cracked black pepper
 
Form into loaf, slather with more ketchup, place on rack in cast iron pan.
Bake at 350° about an hour.
 
I don't usually measure anything so this is a guesstimate, but I'm sure it's pretty accurate.
 
I only cook meatloaf on a rack cause I don't want it steeping in its own fat.

I would never order it out but like it at home. No veggies, eggs
though. Cheese would be good but it melts.
Seasonings optional and depends on mood at the time. I've made it with
Italian seasonings, tarragon (not too much) most always onions.
 
I saw the use of both ketchup and sour cream on TV and tried it. You
don't really get a taste from it but it helps with texture and moisture.
 
I have at times put a couple of strips of bacon on the top. Never
brushed it with ketchup but bill put some on when I eat it.
 
Like pizza, there is no strict recipe and every one is a slight
variation and I never measure.

Anything wrapped in those chopped mushrooms would be good.

i much prefer a burger.
 
meatballs are the closest to meatloaf that i really like.
 
meatloaf itself is not something i'd make again as i do
rather prefer a burger instead. why ruin good meat?
 
when we have made it in the past it is usually ground
beef of some kind, onions, mushrooms and some oatmeal,
as for spices not usually much at all there. probably
why i much prefer meatballs instead, with fresh garlic,
parsley, italian seasonings, cheese and breadcrumbs, an
egg or two to keep it more together.
 
for the top on meatloaf it has always been ketchup.
 
when i was in a more vegetarian mode of cooking i'd
make fake meatloaf out of oatmeal, cornmeal, pasta, TVP,
tomato paste, onions, mushrooms, garlic and some kind of
cheese. it was ok and i made it a few times a year. i
didn't put anything on top as i liked it to get browned.

That's the standard recipe except most would have a bit of milk in
there to soften the bread, add moisture and hold the loaf together.
I am really happy for you that his sickness campaign has be postponed.

Brunch (cat had a somewhat early vet appointment) was frozen waffles done
in the toaster oven and two sausage patties. Pretty darn good since I was
quite hungry. Mine was washed down with a glass of milk as well.
 
No real idea what supper will be.

I like those frozen waffles with a tiny bit of syrup and lots of
butter. Both eggo and walmart brands are pretty good. But wife
hates them, so haven't had any in a few years. I know homemade
batter poured into an iron is a little better, but then you have
that damn mess to clean. :( Not worth it for just a few waffles
for me.

I buy the Kroger brand. If your wife doesn't like them then she doesn't
have to eat them, does she? Buy yourself a box and enjoy.

Maybe that's why I don't like ketchup on meatloaf, it carmelizes;
changes the flavor harshly, at least it does to me.

Was it hard to learn? Did you fail the first few times? "I'd like some

The proper ingredients are important but so is the proper method just
as important... the method is difficult to explain, much better to
demonstrate. The end result is a chocolately soda with a thick white
creamy head that should have no traces of chocolate syrup. Not easy
to do at home even with syphon type seltza bottles... really requires
old fashioned soda fountain equipment, including the proper drinking
glass. The iconic eggcream is chocolate but vanilla and strawberry
eggcreams were also once popular. There's not much about NYC soda
fountais that I don't know about. and intimately... such as Sids Belly
Buster, a 48 ounce egg cream that if you could finish it in under a
minute you got another for free. Even better was a Mrs. Kushner's
Malted... I' d sit in her candy store booth reading comic books
with her malted imagining it was derived from her huge bosoms. She
always wore a bib apron so I could see her bouncing, I doubt there was
a bra made in her size.
