Meatloaf

Here is a recipe my cousin sent me for meatloaf. I have made it and it's pretty good.

1 ½ lb Pork/Veal/Beef mix (½ lb of each)
½ C Panko (Japanese Style) Bread crumbs
2 Eggs lightly beaten
½ C Milk
1 tsp Salt
1 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
1-2 Cloves Garlic
1 Small Onion
½ tsp Thyme
½ tsp Rosemary
2-3 Tbsp fresh Tarragon
1/3 C fresh Parsley
½ tsp fresh ground black pepper
1/4 tsp celery seeds
2-3 celery heart stalks with leaves chopped in processor
1 Tbsp soy sauce
2 Tbsp Balsamic Vinegar (don’t substitute another vinegar)
1 Tbsp Tomato paste

Glaze

8 Tbsp Ketchup
4 Tbsp Dark Brown Sugar
1 Tbsp Blackstrap Molasses
2 Tbsp Pickapeppa Sauce or A1 or Steak sauce

In a bowl mix all of the ingredients except Balsamic vinegar thoroughly. It’s good to use vinyl gloves and use your hands. When well mixed, add the vinegar. Place meat mixture on a glass or non-stick baking sheet and form into a loaf with your hands. Brush the glaze over top, and periodically throughout the cooking about 15 min or so letting it form a crust. Bake in a pre-heated 350 degree oven for 1 hour or until internal temp is 160 or above. Remove from oven and let rest at least 5 min before cutting. If you like you can place 3-4 strips of bacon on top before baking.

...Wow.
So much food!

[Crimsonthread]

Yeah, that much will easily serve 8-10 people as a side dish. But I think it's delicious... and I kinda put it together myself, without a recipe to go by. Since you julienne the zucchini, it looks like green noodles mixed with the linguini.

[Lilliputt]

Ah... italian food. Yum, yum, yum
Whaz that mean... "julienne"?

[Crimsonthread]

Uh... To finely slice an ingredient into 'needle-like shreds'.

This thread is making me hungry [except for that liver and onions pudding sandwich].

Simple potatoes: 4-6 medium size potatoes per batch, California style garlic salt (it has parley) 20 minutes total cooking time.

Slice peeled white potatoes in half and then slice each half into 1/8 " half moons.
Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in large cooking pot with lid
Add potatoes and stir around til evenly coated, keep stirring occassionly for even browning about 10 minute.
Add a little water (about 1/8th cup) to make steam and cover for 10 minutes stir occassionly to prevent sticking.
Remove lid and shake in salt to taste. At least a tablespoon.

These go good with just about anything and never any leftovers!
