SC - Re: SC: Watermelon Rind

[Ceridwen]

Actually, meatloaf as we know it began during WWI when there were food
rations and such. Personally, I take the veggie leftovers from the
fridge - no matter what they are - and puree them in the food processor.
Add an egg or two, and some grain product (corn flakes, oatmeal, bread
crumbs) and mix with lean ground sirloin. Makes a great tasting
meatloaf, and those in my household who don't "do" vegetables get all
the vitamins and such without actually tasting them. <grin!>
