~THE MEATLOAF KING~
We take our meatloaf very serious around here.
Last year, my daughter and I placed first at the PAXICO MEATLOAF FESTIVAL
and rode in this year's Parade as HUBBY entered this year's competition.
HE WON!!!!
What a gorgeous meatloaf!
The loaf was mighty tasty, the potatoes delicious and the carrots sweet.
~BUFFALO BUTLER'S MEATLOAF~
Using his own recipe, he fixed a good looking and mighty tasty beef meatloaf
with carmelized onions on top placed on a platter
surrounded by twice baked cheddar cheese with bacon potatoes and carrots.
The meatloafs in the competition are judged on
Presentation, Flavor and Texture.
Extremely hot outside waiting to hear the winning announcement.
Temperatures were 100 plus degrees.
AND the FIRST PLACE BLUE RIBBON WINNER IS...........BUFFALO BUTLER!!!!
First, Second and Third Place WINNERS were all men.
In fact this year the majority of entrants were men.
Now that's some cooking!
Back inside of WOODMEN HALL,
Hubby is able to talk to people and share some meatloaf.
This dear Lady wore pearls and a hat to the competition.
How sweet is that!!!
As the Winner, he received a cash gift, apron, t-shirt, handsome flipper,
recipe books and recognition.
As last year's WINNERS, Daughter, Lil Miss and myself
rode in the Parade in a 1968 Brownish-red Convertible Camaro.
Terribly HOT outside and the humidity did a number on my hair,
but we waved anyway!
We were announced as the Meatloaf ROYALTY....so of course I had to wave
the QUEEN WAVE!
PROUD TO BE AMERICAN
TOPEKA DRUMS were fantastic performers.
Made for a great day.
So proud of my Hubby!
Happy Meatloaf to you,

Thanks sweetheart! I learned from the best (you)! It was a real challenge to make twice baked potatoes while also baking a meatloaf and boiling/broiling carrots. It came together though. Was really shocked that I took first place, but it was truly fun to win!!

Congratulations! That is quite a presentation for the Mister's winning meatloaf!
You guys are some ser-i-ous competitors, aren't you? I'm sure it must be so much fun, and what wonderful family memories you are creating.
BTW, that lady's pearls and hat are just precious - love how that little pearled pillbox is anchored with bobby pins! So cute! I wonder what her name is? Violet? Mavis? Virginia? Ruth? (Can't help it. It's the writer in me...!)
Oh what FUN!! Congratulations! Now I'm hungry!!
It's RAINING here...and the temps have cooled down 30 degrees. It was 106 earlier and just baking everything-except meatloaf!
Have a safe and happy holiday.♥♫
Congratulations to your Hunny! It looks delicious for sure and I am sure those potatoes did not last long either. Good old comfort food.. love it!
Have a great week.

yummmmm. beautiful meatloaf! congrats to your hubby. :o)
thank you for visiting my blog, deanna. while visiting yours i came across one of your quotes (below). you have no idea .. really .. no idea .. how that touched my heart. right. now. bless you dearly.
""No matter how badly you WISH with all your might that the something devastating that happened in your life hadn't happened and want so badly to go back in time to prevent it from happening...it isn't humanly possible to do this. You can't change the fact that it happened...it did. But Jesus can change the meaning of what happened to you and give you peace. He can show you the way in which you are to go. God richly bless you. ~Deanna~""
My Dearest Hubby,
Your meatloaf was gorgeous to look at AND it tasted divine. AWEsOME.
Please make another!
