I cut my hair short. I am making meatloaf tonight for dinner. Dave says I'm a grownup now.

Amanda just took her last final for the semester, so now she has a month off school, but we can't afford to drive up to Fort Worth right now, so I think you guys are gonna need to come visit us down here. There's nothing to shoot at, but we have cupcakes!

Yay for Amanda! I have some gifts for Amanda that I wrapped in Chistmas paper. So that's totally worth a drive, right?

We should totally come during the holidays! I have two weeks off from work. Ummmm.... We are also going to Austin on the 10th of January. Let me figure some stuff out & I'll call you guys!

Awesome! We have plans on Christmas day, obviously, but otherwise, yes. Weekdays are easier than weekends, but whatever works for you.

1 tsp salt
2 tsp pepper
2/3 lb. ground pork (not too lean)
1 lb. ground chuck

1/3 cup parsely finely chopped

preheat oven 350. soak breadcrumbs in milk. beat eggs with a fork. add meat, eggs, 4 oz. pasta sauce, salt, pepper and parsley. mix thoroughly and pack into a 9x5 bowl.

bake 1 hour and drain top with 4 oz. remaining pasta sauce. return to oven about 10-12 minutes. let stand about 10 minutes. serve with remaining sauce on the side.
