Meatloaf Story: I won’t go into all of the ‘sordid details’ but one of the reasons Beau wanted to ‘Wife Me’ is that I’m a pretty good cook - and he likes to eat, LOL!
But, my Meatloaf was sorely lacking! We dated for 5 years before he talked me into anything more permanent, and I made COUNTLESS meatloaf recipes - I tried everything!
His response was always, ‘Nope. It doesn’t taste like Linda’s’ - his deceased wife - who I knew from age 15.
As I grew increasingly frustrated, I thought, ‘This is NOT the hill I need to die on! It’s MEATLOAF, fer Pete’s Sake!’ He has never complained about anything I’ve made other than meatloaf!
Turns out, the ‘secret recipe’ she always used was the d@mn McCormick Meatloaf spice packet from the grocery store!
And order and sanity were restored to the household...and I always have a pack or two of that spice mix on hand at all times! You never know when there’s going to be a ‘Meatloaf Emergency!’
