It was delicious, moist meatballs and a delicious sauce we would fight over to scrape our bread in the pan.

On recipes where I think the amount matters, I will specify only 1/4 cup of chopped onion or a half tablespoon of minced garlic. I guess I think in a different part of my brain! <br /><br />Life is too short ladies to get worked up over onions and garlic!<br /><br />The meatloaf looks great Mary! I am not endeared to any one meatloaf because I like to try different things and no meatloaf was really passed down to me. I love the addition of prosciutto and will try that soon!<br /><br />And here's how weird I am. I totally understand the football shape thing! :)Mary | Deep South Dishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06030573009618096220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8986801201760240722.post-44566778855504993702009-11-10T10:51:50.613-05:002009-11-10T10:51:50.613-05:00For all your trouble it looks quite delicious, Mar...For all your trouble it looks quite delicious, Mary!

Last night she cried for 20 minutes. It is pitiful to say the least. She has a plan, I think. She starts with low meow cries then quickly crescendos to an angry loud cry and finally to a whimpering sound before she falls asleep. She needs to adjust to her crate for her own safety. sigh. She is otherwise, an angel. She is already trained to potty outside.<br /><br />Now the meatloaf. Your text made me smile. I am trying to imagine why a meatloaf cooked on top of the stove is better than the oven. BIG smile. You know me, the easy way out suits me better. I know it is delicious and I like the small size.<br />I will try it in the oven. I hope you aren't disappointed in me!!! LOL.<br /><br />Have a fun day cooking up a storm. We have our own storm going on here today. Ida is paying us a visit I think.<br /><br />Hugs xoxo, Jeannejeannehttp://backyardneighbor.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8986801201760240722.post-55678012057348228222009-11-10T09:09:13.539-05:002009-11-10T09:09:13.539-05:00All's well that ends well.
