Monday Meatloaf

So, on Saturday I gave you a simple baked potato recipe that goes great with a lot of dishes. One recipe that we tried it with was Alton's meatloaf recipe.

There are so many types of meatloaf recipes out there, handed down from generations, that there is no "right way" to make a meatloaf. This is the recipe Alton Brown gave in his cooking guide in the roasting section. Here are the ingredients you will need:

  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 pounds ground meat
  • 1 1/2 diced onion
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 2 slices sandwich bread, diced
  • 3 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
Not all the ingredients, but most of them.

Now, I know these are a lot of ingredients, but this recipe is actually very simple. You start with this:

Now pre-heat the oven to 350ºF. Next,

     Once the meatloaf is done cooking, let it rest on a cooling rack for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the meatloaf from the pan, and discard the extra fat.
     This meatloaf has a lot of flavor, and, maybe it was just the meat we chose, but there was a lot of fat on the top of the meatloaf after it was done baking. I hope you try this recipe and enjoy it. If you have a recipe or comment you want to share, feel free to comment in the comment section below or on Facebook.

    Like you said, there are thousands of meatloaf recipes out there. And I have my favorite, so I had doubts about this one. However, I liked this recipe. The color was a little pale, but the flavor was really good.

    It did have a good flavor. A bit "odd" of a flavor, but still very good. There are other recipes that I like as well. Variety is nice!

The Great Red Dragon of Revelation 12

Sorry this post is a little late! I wanted this project to be done last Sunday, but I kept noticing details that could be added to make it a little better. This post might seem a little random, but it helped me to practice the drawing skills and techniques that I know. This includes: drawing dragon heads, adding small details to half-finished ideas, and adding shading. The idea for this design came from my Mom, when she saw me drawing dragon head designs and challenged me to draw the seven-headed dragon from Revelation 12:3 "And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads." My initial idea looked like this: Click to enlarge. I realized that this wouldn't work, for my drawing skills at least, so I changed the design to this: Click to enlarge. I wanted a large center head that captured attention, so I worked on that next: Click to enlarge. Click to enlarge. F...

With Apologies to Robert Frost

I have a class for school called Speech. This is supposed to help me learn how to stand properly while speaking, pronounce words properly, and so on. The most recent section is on how to give meaning and feeling to a  poem when reading one out loud. My teacher, Mrs. Autrey, has been reciting poems to us as examples, and she uses a variety such as happy poems, sad poems, thoughtful and so on. One of them that caught my attention was a funny remake of the famous poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost.   The original is one of my favorite poems, and I have always loved the other poetic works of Robert Frost. Here is the original poem: Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening By Robert Frost   Whose woods these are I think I know.    His house is in the village though;    He will not see me stopping here    To watch his woods fill up with sn...

CBP Prohibited and Restricted Items

Recently we went to a Back to School festival near to us. At the event, they had a car show, snacks, booths for school children to get supplies , and also booths from the local police and border protection agencies. One of the booths, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, had a variety of unique items on display, including gem-covered beetles, vials of weevils in food products, leather from a sea turtle and elephant, and a bird claw. The officer on the right talked about all the items on display. Click to enlarge. What do all these items have in common? Well, we learned from one of the officers at the booth that these were all illegal items to try to bring over the border. Lets start with the gem-covered beetle. This is not the beetle the officer had on display, but simply an example. While this may look like a harmless product, it is actually quite cruel. That is because the beetle is captured while still alive and has the jewels pasted to its back before being put on sa...
