Yesterday day was meatloaf night at the John T house. While my girlfriend Dawn was at the store I decded to help out and make the meatloaf for her (she usually makes them). I thought "Bam" I'll kick evrything up a notch. Hey, more is better right. Wrong. Too many eggs. too many breadcrumbs, too many onions, well you get the picture. I couldn't find the meatloaf dish so I mounded up my masterpiece in the center of a full size casserole dish and into the oven it went. Needless to say, when Dawn saw what I did she was not overjoyed. Once it was finally done you should have seen it. It looked like a burned up meat turtle with no head, legs, or tail. Or possibly a cow pie dpending on the angle you looked at it. It had the cosistency of oatmeal or canned dog food because of copious amount of bread crumbs. And quite a special aroma because of whole onion I put in. The taste, well let's just say that our tastbuds may never quite fully recover from my abomination. Last night, I so could feel Skunkeye's meatloaf pain. It was if I had been magically transported to her kitchen except no dog yacking it up on the dining room floor. I am now banned from attempting anything more complicated than hamburgers or sloppy joe's. A couple of Dawn's more notable comments were:
"I will try to eat your slop"
and
"Mommy says you are definitely not a kitchen b*tch"
Ouch!
Now I've made SE's day!

Shrink a sweater and you won't have to do laundry, either! |

HA! Looks like that good old meatloaf Karma caught up and kicked your sorry butt, eh JT! I wondered how long you'd torment me before it'd finally catch up to you! Gotta love that Karma! BAM! Knock him down a knotch! (Emeril believes in Karma, too!)

Meatloaf Kharma? John T., as you reflect back on ?? years, entertain us with some more stories like Adventures in Meatplop! Or... Paradise by the cutting board light. He's rounding third... |

What the 'H' are you talking about? My Karma's good! My spell check never pointed it's finger at me and laughed? I'm not sure what you got in the mail - but I'll bet it wasn't a dictionary!
And I heard some where that it's the bees who deal with any bad Karma complaints from the flowers, so you just might want to stop what you're doing out there JT! Consider that bit of advise a gift - Happy Birthday!
Rs - I saw Meatloaf many years ago - put on a great show!

I give you for credit for at least trying with the meat loaf, JT. Did you not think to take a cursory glance at a few meatloaf recipes before rolling up your sleeves and wading in? That would have given you at least an idea of appropriate meat to bread to onion ratio. Try foodnetwork or allrecipes next time (if Dawn allows you a next time!) |

The sweater shrinking wasn't intentional, but my laundry duties were limited after that.
My daughter, home from college, took a heaping basket downstairs to wash. Normally, I do it all, so it warmed my heart to see this. I saw later she had stuffed the entire basket into one load. I mentioned that it probably should have been two loads, to which she replied "Dad, I'm in college where I'm used to paying for laundry".
She stuffed the heck out of that washer! |

Sorry, CC. I haven't yet printed out any of the fine recipes submitted by all the PSers. Definitely on the 2-Do-Soon list after this cuisine catastrophe.
Hey SE, go to unwords.com. The definition of kharma is bad or harmful karma which is more appropriate in this case, unfortuately. |

Hey, I just got an email from the Iranian Prime Minister. He's interested in my burnt turtle meatplop as a WMD- weapon of mess destruction |

With reference to the laundry baskets - here is a solution to the shrinkage of sweaters:
1 for whites
1 for colors
1 for DNFT - this is where you put the sweaters and fine washables

DNFT, eh? Do Not...F@#$% Touch?
Heat not, sort not,
Wash it all,
In cold water.
Don't fold,
The undies,
Even though you ought 'er!
It'll all be just fine,
And pretty much clean,
Stuff 'em all together,
In the warshin' machine! |

Hey! How did this one get by me? DNFT!- I like that. And why yes, I am bored at work and dusting of old topics. And I'm still banned from making meatplops. |
