Meatloaf

On the mundane meatloaf I must opine 'Tis an all time favorite grub o' mine With smashed pertaters And fresh termaters Topped off with a two dollar jug o' wine Robert L. Hinshaw, CMSgt, USAF, Retired © All Rights Reserved

Meatloaf is a worthy victim for this great spin.

As I sat reading this I have two meatloaf's in my smoker over cherry wood! Takes one of my favorite foods to a whole new level!! Maybe I'll write a poem about it!

Sounds good to me, Sarge. One of my favorite meals, minus the wine. I'll have a glass of milk instead! Excellent piece. Ralphie

OH, my God! How many times have i polished off a two dollar bottle of wine. Dish made no difference - meat loaf usually took too much time to make. Ah, but a load of spaghetti? I'm a thirstin'. From one USAF Sgt. to another - wonderful recipe poem. Love, daver

Ah, the joys of the simple life, Bob. Guess Dad didn't like meatloaf because Mom never made it and she tried to please him. Love the way you top off the meal with your $2-dollar jug of wine! If this is for the contest, you know I'm pulling for you. Love, Carolyn
