Food, glorious food This blog is dedicated to the magic and science that is food and cooking. To the ingredients, cooking methods and cuisines, that when combined in the right alchemy, turn simple, ordinary ingredients into something extraordinary. And my fascination with it.

Meatloaf: Comfort Food for Carnivores
My favorite of all foods is comfort food. Good, simple, and damn tasty. I figure the mastery of home cooking starts with the foods we all know and love. The ingredients are easy to find and the meals are generally inexpensive and go a long way. I have put together a great tome of recipes I've collected from magazines and websites over the years and most pages consist of different comfort foods. I take no credit for any of the recipes I put up here, they are generally a combination of two or three recipes from my collection with some additions of my own. This one I have made with lean ground beef, I'd like to say I ground the meat myself but I was trying to make something quick and simple. I also added the chipotle with some of it's adobo sauce for a bit of heat and smoky flavour. If it's up here then it means I enjoyed it. If I brand it with my "Old Man" stamp then it means that this will be my staple recipe when making this meal in the future. I also made a quick onion and mushroom gravy which I will post a little later. along with a nice cucumber salad my wife and I had a wonderful meal and two more dinners that followed. Maybe even a lunch. Can't quite remember.
