* 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 looks good! And you can’t go wrong with sweet corn.

Rich,
That plate looks delicious! I’m hoping you got a 2nd serving!

Hot air balloon rally and arts festival in Macomb. Each year about 20-25 hot air balloons fly in for the weekend. Food trucks and live music too, make for a great weekend.

Are those canned peas?

Did you drink the juice?

That looks yummy. (Except for the canned peas, sorry.)

Oatmeal in meatloaf is such a good binder.

Not a cook (just ask my housemates), but what would happen if you cut the potatoes before baking them in the gravy?
Weekend plans:
- Neighborhood meeting with the mayor and alderman.
- Picking apples at the family lot.
- Kids have sleepovers with friends and Mass with Mom.
- Laundry.
Wherever you are, and whatever you are doing, I hope to see you back here on Monday safe and sound.

Going to see The Who.
Wouldn’t miss it.
Long live rock!

Are those oats in the meat? That’s a choice.

Been out to LA. Going to keep driving home on old 66.

===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.

There’s something beautiful about a plate with no kale on it.
