I'm actually cooking tonight to have a decent meal as a very hard semester
of algebra comes to an end with my final tomorrow. I figure a good meal
rather than the junk I've been eating lately will help me with my all night
studying.

So tonight is a meatloaf made with fresh ground chuck and pork, onions,
garlic, seasonings and the ground bread that helped push the meat through
the grinder. I stuck some potatoes in the oven for some bakers, and will
probably have baby peas on the side.

Happy Mother's day in advance to those of you to whom this applies!

I'd eat at your table ANY day! Sounds fabulous! We have a butcher that
makes a "meatloaf" mixture that's 2/3 beef and 1/3 pork. I've made some
pretty good burgers on the grill with that mix as well.

Thanks, Cheryl! You have a wonderful day as well.

Home ground meat loaf is my favorite. Good luck with your algebra
final.

Nice. I don't mean to be a downer, but food like that would make me
tired. You're probably different. I'd do stuff like a fresh fruit
smoothie etc.

If x is pork, y is chuck, and z is onions, please formate the recipe
as an equation.

I still don't understand why this is necessary. My grinder pushes
out 80% of what's in the Archimedes screw . And even with my bread
only costing $.68 for a 2-lb loaf, it's still wouldn't be worth it
if it was just 50% empty (or 50% full) to push out that little bit.
I just scoop it out with my finger and throw it into the mix.

I take it he doesn't serve any Hindus or Muslims. A couple decades
ago one of the restaurant chains (Safeway?) was sued by one or both
of those groups for not properly cleaning their grinders between
those two products. All ground pork came prepackaged from then on,
and now, come to think of it, I haven't seen ground pork at HEB
ever.

Dunno. I suppose they are free to process as they choose as those that
wouldn't want to partake of the product can go elsewhere. It's NorCal
after all! ;-)

That would probably fall under something having to do with the size of
the company and how many they employ. I can't say that I've seen more
than two - three people working this place at any given time.

I have seen ground pork in our local Safeway. I'd hope they would clean
between cuttings, but you never know (and that's why I prefer to grind
my own when given the choice).

I have.

I used to purchase ground pork along with ground sausage, then mix 2
parts fresh ground pork to 1 lb. sausage to cut the salt by 66%. The
amount of salt put into most commercial sausages was too much for me.

Mixing it 1 part to two parts made for a very decent sausage mix and cut
the price. Sometimes I'd add a lb. of ground turkey or beef in place of
1 lb. of the ground pork.

Now I grind and make my own sausage for a LOT lower price by purchasing
pork for $1.58 per lb. It was $.99 per lb. a couple of years ago but
it's gone up.

I will still make sausage tho' when any meat prices go below that
threshold...

Ok I'll try this for practice.

2y + .5x + .1z (there are no like terms to combine so I guess that's it)

Wow. That sounds like the college cafeteria food we had to eat as
undergraduates in our dorm day after day. That and cooked broccoli.

My Algebra is rusty (or rather, non-existent). I even took Algebra
2 (optional) and I can't think of anything that gave more more
trouble in high school which I had a had absolutely no use far at
all once I got out in the real world holding technical jobs that
often required a fair amount of math. And other than the
Pythagoream Theorem and a little bit of set theory, you can have all
my geometry, too.

Meatloaf = 2y + .5x + .1z

the last time i used algebra was to dope out the proof of my homemade long
island ice tea. it probably took me ten times as long than it would have
in high school.

never did get around to calculating the proof for the limoncello in the
freezer, though.
