On Making Meatloaf

Perhaps the most surprising dish I have made so far has been meatloaf. Never in my right mind would I ever imagine myself making meatloaf! The reason why I decided to attempt this dish was because my attempt to make flour tortillas and Chile Verde were not what I expected. And the most infuriating part is that I can’t taste my own cooking, not for another ten days anyway. I took a look at my Chile Verde and I took a look at my tortillas and decided that the best thing to do in such an ugly situation was to combine the two and serve it on a platter, but because I was unimpressed with myself I decided to add in a Meatloaf as well. I have been following two individuals on Twitter, Hilah and Nicko. I followed Hilah’s recipe on making flour tortillas and I really liked her YouTube channel because she is so funny and nonchalant about cooking. After pinning various of her videos on Pinterest, I found a video of her visiting with another chef, Nicko. Nicko is from Australia and also has a YouTube channel of his own. Wow, his food is amazing. They both made meatloaf seem so easy, just mix a bunch of ingredients together and pop it into the oven. Since I have a small toaster oven, and since I made two loafs, baking these to perfection was nearly impossible. I think they were on the oven for about three hours rather than one and a half. I concluded that the next time I make this dish, I will put the meat loafs into the oven for about an hour and a half first and then add the ketchup-mustard-barbecue sauce that goes over it for the last hour and a half, this way the top of the loafs don’t burn. My boyfriend seemed to like it. It was the dish he seemed to enjoy the most so far. Apparently, he thinks that I can only cook deliciously when he’s in the kitchen bugging me since the Spanish rice I made with him around me was actually the most delicious thing I’ve made on the first try.
