Cooking 101 #5/52 Meat Loaf


Tonight was meat loaf night.  Homemade meat loaf (2 lbs ground beef, 1 cup diced onions, 1/4 cup ketchup, 1/8 cup mustard, 2 cups bread crumbs, 1 clove roasted garlic, 1 egg, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp pepper, 2 tsp parsley) along with garlic/Parmesan mashed potatoes and corn.  Another success, I can tell because my father was here and actually had seconds.  My father eats little, even less if he doesn't like the food.  

Dicing onions was yet again part of the prep, I'm pretty sure I have that mastered at this point.  Peeling potatoes is another item I'm getting a bit of practice with.  That still needs work, too much potato getting wasted with the peels.  Still, I definitely took less this time than last and I'm sure it will get better next time.  Still trying to master the basics.... proper knife handling.  Getting there.
