I was zooming in on the pic on my phone. My goodness it looks so glorious!!! It's literally gourmet meatloaf without the pretentiousness.

I'll share a recipe if I can get one. It's been years of refinement so there is nothing she measures. It's all about "feel".

It was glistening with flavor.

I'm a food snob and I will put that right up against the best things I eat.

There is beauty in simplicity.

She makes another dish we call "beans and cornbread". This is a depression era meal. She uses Lima beans, Cajun smoked ham hocks, ham chunks, seasoning. It's literally one of the best things I've eaten.

Probably costs less then $15 to feed a family of 6. And is absolutely amazing!

My wife call that hobo beans. So good. MIT wife makes a mean meatloaf too. It’s just awesome.

I rinse the seeds in water but not too much. You want to keep some of the pumpkin guts in there. The butter and seasoning just melts in your mouth with some of the actual pumpkin stuff.

I use 3/4 to a whole stick of butter and melt it first, and then Lawry's Seasoning Salt. That's it. Pretty generous amount of the seasoning to your liking.

Cook in oven on 350-375 for 30-45 minutes. Will broil on about 450 for maybe 5-10 minutes at the end to get the desired char on them I like.

Pretty simple overall.

Tomorrow is my birthday and i get the dinner of my choice, as of now my all time fav, even above Filet, is Cattlemans Prime Rib! Pretty sure that restaurant is regional, but it is incredible! Melts in your mouth. I was thinking lobster and filet cooked at home...but im in a red meat mood.

I would love to cook one again, we did once, it was more work than just buying one LOL My whole fam arent really meat eaters, just my pop and I.

We will occasionally plan a family dinner with everyone over and cook up a 8-10 lb prime rib. Always ends with a little bickering over me not cooking it to a medium. Love it medium rare, pull it at 125-130 and let it sit to 130-135 and slice.

Just got back from Hurlburt Field (Ft Walton Beach). I had to transport equipment so I drove down and back. I took an ice chest and loaded up on boudin and other Cajun meats in Alexandria LA. Gonna make stuffing out of the boudin for Turkey day. Had some duck and andouille sausage gumbo that I gotta try to duplicate. The gator po'boy didn't suck either. The dirty rice was a disappointment...hamburger instead of chicken livers. Man, I miss living down that way.

Don't know how I missed this. Good Lord, those noodles are what my old folks used to call "slickers". It must take magic to make 'em right cause I can't. Absolutely beautiful.

Very few ingredients. All about the technique. Wife really has it down. My mom passed it down to my wife. And my wife will pass it down to our daughters. And the broth is silky smooth like velvet.

Happy BDay Georgie!

Speaking of Birthdays, my wife threw her mother an 85th Birthday party at our house today. It’s been raining for two years straight here it seems so I cleared out my shop and the covered carport and patio areas just in case the weather was bad. Of course with all the cleaning up I did, the weather was absolutely beautiful. Laughing

Our painter at work has been hononig his BBQ skills the past few years and just got his pit fired up after some upgrades. Had him do up a 14 lb brisket and a few racks of baby back ribs. I whipped up some beans, dirty rice (packaged) , hot dogs and boneless chicken thighs. Wife made some banana pudding to go with the cake and cupcakes.

Damn it Joe!

You're Making me hungry for some real food, eating all this packaged/ pre-made crap is getting old.

It sux to be restricted to one hand where you can't do anything, but it will get better & I'll fire up the pit

Nearly 80 degrees this week and it snowed this morning...winter is a fighter. Felt like some comfort food today. Blade cut pork chops simmering in cream of mushroom soup with plenty of portabellas and new potatoes. Crusty French bread for sopping. What are you fellas whippin' up?
