MOM! MEATLOAF!

seriously, this is my mom's meatloaf :)
i think it's the best ever.

sometimes i like to sit on my couch, like will ferrell in wedding crashers

and scream, "mom!!!! the meatloaf!!"

followed by maybe one of my favorite lines from that movie,

"what is she doing in there? i never know what she's doing!"
and, like my dad's daughter that i am,
it makes the best day after sandwiches!

sounds delightful with some mashed potatoes with this nasty weather...
