Yesterday I made meatloaf for the first time. What an unappealing name…meatloaf. It tastes better than it sounds, thanks to a new recipe tried from FOOD magazine. Called Mr. John’s Meatloaf. Why was it good?

a) Substitute some of the usual amount of ground beef or ground pork for fresh de-cased hot italian sausage

b) divide the meat in half, put one layer down, then add a row of de-cased fresh chorizo sausage before covering the layer with the rest of your meat mix

c) slather Frank’s Red Hot sauce all over the top

Let’s just say that Lee almost licked his plate. And THAT is how I know it was good.

GEE everyone I know is pregnant! well almost….

I thought this was a popular phenomenon in the spring time…not in the winter (er fall for the rest of the world). You know, long dark, cold winter…better to stay in bed/kitchen/living room and do things… but the summer! Hot…sticky…sunny…too nice to be indoors. Unless perhaps doing things indoors is not your style. I wouldn’t blame you either - because there are a lot of quiet, pretty places in the world with a nice view (not that I’d know)…but it’s risky! What if you were spotted? Arrested? Jailed for the rest of your life for unknowingly getting it on a little more than a km down the road from a rural daycare during a recess hike? Oops!

So congratulations to all you pregnant and socially irresponsible types. Perhaps parenthood will sober you up.
