Dinner pic.... Mmmmmm..... Meatloaf

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Dinner pic.... Mmmmmm..... Meatloaf

Posted: 8/13/2007 6:07:47 PM EDT

My first dinner pic. Keeping it simple.

Meatloaf was one of the best I've ever made. And yeah, the potatoes are instant, but they're the BEST ones. (I didn't have any real taters in the house....) Seasoned french cut green beans- my favorite veggie.

And before you ask, NO, it doesn't need any gravy. It's moist, hot, and yummy.... doesn't need any sauce on it. Every once in awhile I'll put a little extra worcestire, but no gravy. Or ketchup. The potatoes have enough moisture and butter they don't need gravy either. Get it? NO GRAVY!

Firearm= Ed Brown Kobra stainless 1911 with custom sights. Hubby's competition piece.

Comfort food at its best.

I'm afraid I've never seen a placemat with carpet on it. And why not put the food on said placemat?

eh, I just pulled it out of the safe for the pic. It's stored hammer down in there. Now if it was my carry piece, it'd be CNL, baby.

FTR, my protection piece was behind me on top of the fridge and it was ready to go.

And no, the food is up on the (beautiful baltic brown granite

) countertop, the angle just makes the edge of the carpet look close, I guess.

Thats what I was thinking. Go through all the work to make a good meatloaf and then use instant 'tatoes.

It still lookes delicious though BH!

I didn't HAVE any real taters in the house. I was using what I had.... I like real smashed taters better too, but sometimes when you're home alone with 3 hungry kids, you've gotta do what you've gotta do.

2.

No spare mags, no kick-ass knife, and what the fuck.........ever hear of a little something called "presentation"?

Is that a folded paper towel, you cheap-ass?

I'm going to have to go with 7/10. Instant taters is a negative, as is the hammer down. Do I spy sweet iced tea though? Very nice, and the foot looks excellent. It's been a long, long time since I've had some good meatloaf.

Very nice, just pull that hammer back next time, if only for the picture.... Or send that Kobra to me, thats one hell of a 1911.

Absolutely nothing wrong with having the hammer down on a 1911.
"Cocked and Locked" is one of several carry options.

I agree, meatloaf doesn't need gravy if it's cooked right.
But, you're lacking a spare mag and a knife of some sort. 7 outta 10.

8 out of 10. Looks good to me, BH.

You might want to "feminize" it a bit more...check out npd233's dinner thread for some estro-riffic tips.

10/10. Meat+gun=dinner.

I made meatloaf for the first time the other day. Looked terrible, but tasted pretty good, especially when reheated. Gotta dice them onions smaller next time, and sweat them a bit...
