It's a hot one today! Guess what my daughter and I cooked up for week-end fun? That's right, MEATLOAF. We didn't place at the First Paxico Meatloaf Festival Meatloaf Contest, but we sure had fun trying. We had delivered our Award Winning Italian Meatloaf on time at the check in and were on our way back to the car to drop off the cover pan when CHEF ALLI came out of the building and asked us if SHE could take our picture? We said, "Sure!" So this picture of us is by Chef Alli! Check her website out http://www.chefallis.com/ .
Though we didn't place, I still felt like a winner. A couple of weeks ago, Beauty and I practiced making meatloafs and came up with the one we wanted to enter. We had fun as mom and daughter creating our award winning loaf.
During the week, we decided on what to wear and like a couple of Donna Reeds we wore aprons and pearls. We looked MARVELOUS DARLINK.
Then early this morning we whipped the meatloaf up for the contest,
baked it in our small oven,
let her cool before flipping her onto the platter,
selected a platter for presentation,
and figured how to transport our entry as we drove the distance to Paxico.
It was all in good fun. We stood abit stunned that there were as many entries as there were AND the work others applied toward their presentations. We walked away full of ideas for next year, Lord willing we do this again.
We officially are two Meatloaf Mommas that set a goal and then went after it with vigor. Why I even wore lipstick and shaved my legs for this!
God Bless,
