Title: MEATLOAF
Post by: bk on May 24, 2013, 12:18:46 AM: Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of meatloaf, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - frankly, they don't want to know from meatloaf.

Post by: Ben on May 24, 2013, 03:31:15 AM: We will be on LI for the weekend. Ant will be out early so he can pick me up at the train station after I leave work. We will visit friends and relax and eat a piece of wedding cake from last year. It's in the freezer on LI. It should be fine.

We will also watch Sweet Charity. Anthony has never seen the movie and it's at the library out there. We requested a copy here but it's very popular and we've been on the waiting list, literally, for months. We are now at Number 5 on the list. When we watch the movie on LI I will cancel the reserve in the city.

We are also fans of the late Phyllis Diller and there is a documentary from 2004 called

Goodnight, We Love You (http://www.goodnightweloveyou.com/home.cfm)

which chronicles the final stand-up comedy performance. It's available at the LI library so we will take that out for viewing as well.

And that, dear friends, is our weekend.

Title: Re: MEATLOAF
Post by: ChasSmith on May 24, 2013, 05:12:27 AM: Loved the meatloaf notes.

It was a favorite of mine, too, growing up. There were three things my mother made that I could binge on, even now, if they were set in front of me: the meatloaf, the macaroni and cheese, and the pot roast.

She made hers with all beef, not a combo of meats, and I am very happy to report that I asked her for her recipe while she was still around to give it. I'm even happier to report that I came across it recently, in my penciled notes taken over the phone. I'm ashamed, however, to report that I've only made it a couple of times, the last being many years ago -- but delighted to report that I was surprised at how wonderful it came out. So, enough with the reporting. I'm getting it out to make it sometime this week, after Memorial Day. Interesting that BK was uncertain about the bread crumbs. I was, too, but there they were, right there in mine own handwriting.

Meatloaf is a very special comfort food, and it's a rare thing when a diner (the best place to order it) serves one that comes close to being as delicious as one's own mother's. Now and then you get lucky. More often, though, it's a ghastly pale dry imitation of the real thing.

I'm always surprised when I come across someone who hates meatloaf in any form. But those people exist. They're out there. And the world needs to be warned about them.

I got the macaroni recipe, too, which if I recall is basically what's in the traditional Betty Crocker cookbook, but she always did one thing that made it unique: she added a can of stewed tomatoes to it. For years, I never knew anyone who had heard of doing this, but in more recent years I've actually seen it done a couple of times. But I grew up thinking tomatoes were a natural part of macaroni and cheese. I'm thinking that recipe also called for Velveeta cheese (not positive), and I also grew up thinking cheese came in boxes.

The pot roast would have been our goyische equivalent of BK's brisket -- I don't think we knew from the word brisket -- and I distinctly remember some Sunday dinners in which I would sit there at the table after everyone else had long ago left it, stuffing myself with more and more of that wonderful meat. That's probably at the root of my being such a carnivore, and of my passion for the tender stringy cuts.

Good Lord, will you just look at what those notes made me do! I'll shut up now so somebody else can have the floor.

Blu-ray (rental) SLEEP TIGHT. Excellent Spanish psychological thriller. Annoyingly the U.K. disc doesn't include the lengthy documentary and deleted scenes which are on the U.S. version.

After Perry and Pam left, Richard and I took Mom home, loaded up a bunch of stuff she's donating to the AAUW garage sale, and went to explore the new building on her campus. I went to bed quite early and, today, am looking forward to some down time.

Post by: John G. on May 24, 2013, 06:48:51 AM: Mom's meatloaf was never her best dish. I don't know if she got it. She used so much filler that it was hard to taste meat in there and the only moisture she got was from the cross of bacon that blessed each one, which she baked in a Dutch oven.

But lately I've come to love the dish -- if it's done right. And I can get very picky.

Post by: elmore3003 on May 24, 2013, 06:56:20 AM: Good morning, all! I was wide awake at 1am,and I slept terribly last night. Part of it's depression, I'm thinking, and part's recuperation/rejuvenation/refreshment/whatever my system's going through. I think that I'm worrying too much about future employment rather than enjoying the free time, but no one else is paying the bills for me.

So, I'm not going to Toyland today. I must go tomorrow. Holiday traffic will be very mild in the morning and I want to taxi a large oscillating fan down to the office. Last year, when my AC was dead, I went a bit mad buying oscillating fans for the apartment, I tossed out last winter the one I'd had for around five-six years, but I don't need all the ones I have here, and my 10 year-old fan at Toyland died last week and needs replacing.

Hickman gave a wonderful performance in this film. Unhappily, it was not a pleasant experience for Hickman. The director, John Stahl, was mean to him, according to Hickman in an interview he gave on TCM alongside Jane Withers, Margaret O'Brien and Dickie Moore. He said the shoot in the water was particularly brutal for him.

Title: Re: MEATLOAF
Post by: Cillaliz on May 24, 2013, 02:10:18 PM: DR Jane, I have a theory on why you don't see as many cats in the shelters. Cats tend to stay close to home or to what was home They are more likely to hunker down and hide but stay close and not respond if they are afraid. Dogs on the other hand, are more likely to wander, perhaps looking for their masters. Just a theory.
Title: Re: MEATLOAF
Post by: John G. on May 24, 2013, 02:10:40 PM: If you think that people will miss the announcement because they won't be reading Monday, then I can understand delaying a day. But other than that, I would think they'd be more likely to treat themselves to a little something extra on a holiday. IMHO.

I agree with this. I also think fewer people get a microchip for their cats vs dogs. About the first thing a rescue group does is check for a microchip.

DR Jane, I have a theory on why you don't see as many cats in the shelters. Cats tend to stay close to home or to what was home They are more likely to hunker down and hide but stay close and not respond if they are afraid. Dogs on the other hand, are more likely to wander, perhaps looking for their masters. Just a theory.

I agree with this. I also think fewer people get a microchip for their cats vs dogs. About the first thing a rescue group does is check for a microchip.

I think our Humane Society requires you to microchip when you adopt. I know I had to when I got Ricky. All my cats are chipped.

And one has been reunited :) Thanks Cilla.

The photo in that story that amazed me was the horse being taken out of the rubble of a day care center

I don't think much work is being done today on the ghost sites, but the plan is to try and have everything ready by the end of the week. We'll do the final tweaks to the board, including adding CAPTCHA for new registrations, which will at least cut down on the enormous spam registrations that come in every day, and get Donald all set up with the new and improved radio show software. And work on the house begins Monday.

But I'll have hands then. I get the truck at 8:00 - friends come between 9:00 and 9:30 - we'll pack things up, drive across the bridge, unload quickly as I have to return the truck by 2:00. It all seems doable

Title: Re: MEATLOAF
Post by: vixmom on May 24, 2013, 07:47:34 PM: I use seasoned bread crumbs, a couple of eggs, Lipton's beefy onion soup mix (reconstituted with a little boiled water and some red cooking wine) and once the lovely loaf is made a little beef broth is poured over and around to help make a the base for a nice brown gravy --

and little new potatoes should be placed all around it in a pan so that they can roast in the drippings

Bruce I think you might have to quadruple your jog to work off the dinner but it is delish

Post by: John G. on May 24, 2013, 11:00:40 PM: Went to a fun local production of "In the Heights." Great voices, though, seeing the show for the first time, I couldn't help but think that all of the ballads -- and there are many -- are power ballads. Does no one but Kander and Ebb see the quiet things?

Also, terrific 10-piece orchestra, though the sound system could have used a little work. You have to understand all of the lyrics to understand the story, and that wasn't always possible.

I had their half-priced cheeseburger sliders (half-priced because it was during their "happy hour" of 3-6 pm), and they were good. I had to leave before everyone else was done because I had to get to the theater.

DR Doug R, I am beginning to wonder how our May here will average out. I know I'll be turning the furnace on for Saturday and Sunday, but also very possibly today. It's ridiculous.

Woops, there I go, posting my 4000th! Better sign off so I don't do it again, and wait for George!!! :)

I don't (yet) know if anyone else has saved the momentous moment, but here you go:

DR George which version of STAR TREK did you prefer?

I was frustrated with the changes of the first one (the reboot), mainly because the characters are all different ages and J.J. Abrams had them all at Star Fleet at the same time. That didn't make sense. For this movie, that doesn't matter. It all seems to make sense and was done very well...and the quality of special effects have been improved since the first movie. :)
