darksabre Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Taught my last class tonight. Might be the last class period, if I move to Buffalo. I had to give a negative speech addressing some of the problems this class had this semester. It wasn't easy for me. So I bought a decent bottle of Cab Sauv and am drinking it until my feelings numb. :beer: You made it though. And you did a good job. Proud of you.

Teach for a couple more years and telling students how bitterly disappointing they are will become the best part of the job! :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfreeman Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 At my son's request, I made meatloaf for the first time last night. It was also, I think, the first time I'd eaten meatloaf since I was a kid. Served it with baked beans, broccoli and those buttered rolls from a can that you bake in the oven for 15 min. Pretty simple and pretty tasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good meatloaf is a thing of beauty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josie Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Wait til you have kids :P This is precisely why I don't want kids. But I'll probably have to at some point. Wine was good- took a long bath, drank a few glasses, no hangover today. A+ in my book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just looks so unappealing, and the chain restaurant variety is usually pretty awful. Meatballs are awesome and meatloaf is mostly just a giant meatball, but you almost have to overcook it so the middle is done, which turns it into a giant well done slab of beef... ick. If someone has a recipe that actually stays moist and doesn't taste like a hockey puck with ketchup on it, please share! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was turned on to this recently. The oats absorb any, uh, cow juice and plump up. It really is good. At my son's request, I made meatloaf for the first time last night.

I concur, the recipe I use (that I haven't made in years) is oat-based and turned out like big slices of meatball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASabreFan Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Oatmeal in meatloaf? Hmm... sounds odd, but I'm intrigued. Go on.... It's just a standard meatloaf recipe, but you use oatmeal instead of bread crumbs. Or half and half. I still do a shake of bread crumbs for all the seasonings (salt!). You use eggs in your meatloaf, right? Meat, 2 eggs, ketchup, a little mustard, then add enough oats so it's not sticky anymore and not too dry. Use your hands to mix. Stress buster. I was always taught that when you can stick a finger in and pull it out dry, you're good to go. (Just the opposite of what you'd think, heyo.)

I also think meatloaf is one of those things that is much better the next day, when all the goodness has congealed. Or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone has a recipe that actually stays moist and doesn't taste like a hockey puck with ketchup on it, please share! Here's the one I used: http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/turkey-meatloaf ...with the following changes, based mostly on what we had in the kitchen: - beef instead of turkey - baked beans instead of canneloni beans - 2 eggs instead of 1 - a bit more tomato sauce and barbecue sauce, plus a bit of hot sauce, instead of worcestershire It was pretty moist.

Much appreciated, good sir! I've actually never made a meatloaf myself, but I had no idea beans were typically part of the recipe rather than a side dish. I think the double egg will be a requirement with the altitude here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weave Posted May 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Use a meat thermometer. Pull it at 160 degrees and let it rest covered for 15-20 minutes. Unleas you are using real lean ground, it wont be dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once tried to buy beer at a Wegmans at 6:30am after getting off of a shift, not thinking that they wouldn't sell it to me. But apparently there are "laws" against that.

Which made the process of buying some last minute, hard to find ST bombers for the Mrs. a little tricky this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
