Good morning!
Friday, Sep 5, 2025 - Posted by Rich Miller * I tweaked my mom’s meatloaf recipe just a little bit yesterday and then added fresh sweet corn to the gravy. Man, it was good… 
* Those are my own homegrown tomatoes, by the way… All winter without ‘em’s a culinary bummer Weekend plans?

===That’s a choice===
And a good one. Good binder, tastes great.

1. Mom’s meatloaf: Bread crumbs and egg added as a binder. Those peas look kinda pale, but I’m all in.
2. Weekend: Thinking about projects (like whether one should just be cancelled) and housekeeping. Yeah, it’s a show-stopper weekend here.

It’s a taste thing for me. I have always preferred canned peas to fresh or frozen, preferably LeSeurer.

Really loving this content Rich! Please post more with recipes in the future. 😍👍

Over the years I have noticed I share the same musical interests as Rich and now I see we share the same longing for can peas over frozen peas.
This weekend is the Elnora Guitar Festival at Krannert.
