I made way too much meatloaf a couple days ago. Im sure that Im not
the first to cut big cold chunks of meatloaf into cubes, simmer in
spaghetti sauce and use for spaghetti and meatballs.
Well...penne and meatballs in my case. The meatloaf cubes tasted just like
meatballs to me, and as a bonus, they didnt roll around on the plate
like those round ones do.

Nope. I dont have to spear them when they slide onto my lap which is
painful. Ive suddenly become a big fan of cubic meatballs.

Cast off the bib and apron, and embrace the cube! My trips to Emergency
have gone down dramatically in the last day or two. In this time of
pestilence, thats a good thing. Im paying my revelation forward.
Youre welcome!

I just make cold meatloaf sandwiches. I don't like meatballs very much but
my meatballs don't taste like my meatloaf.

Gimme about 45 minutes. My wife ate all the meatcubes but two. Luckily, I
had even more meatloaf, so I cubed it just now, and I need to fake a sauce
simmering.
Ah, the hell with it, most of the meatcubes havent been simmered in
sauce and were just thrown in at the last minute and microwaved with the
leftover pasta. Ill choke it down. I already had a Prilosec, because,
for me, beer and tomato anything dont mix without help.

it would be acceptable food to me for sure but i wouldn't
consider it the same as spaghetti and meat balls. the flavors
and textures of each are so different (at least the way we
make meatballs here the ingredients aren't the same nor is
the prep the same).

Any leftover meatloaf here never sees the inside of my freezer.
I'll just snack on it for days. I'll cut off a slice, put
in a bowl with dish lid, and microwave it back to hot.

Better to me than a sandwich. I'd be afraid to use some
for spaghetti type dish too.

My largest is a 5lb meatloaf. It's always gone within 3 days.

I do the same with homemade lasagne in a 9X13 pan.

Wow!!! It all must be jolly good!!! I have only made meatloaf a few
times but we didn't really like it much. I tried a few recipes but have
dumped them

Please share yours ?

I never make less than a five pound meat loaf, not worth all the
trouble for less, sometimes 8, 9, 10 pounds, and that's the weight of
the meat, not the other ingredients; veggies, crumbs, eggs, etc.
Sometimes I'll use all beef but more often I'll add pork to the
mixture, usually shoulder pork chops that I'll save the meaty bones
for making pasta sauce. Naturally I grind everything myself...
mystery meat loaf is stupid dumb.

I never thought to cut meat loaf into cubes and cook them in sauce
like meatballs, unless well browned on all sides they'd dissolve and
it'd become a meat sauce. If I wanted meatballs that's what I'd make
to begin with. I slice the leftovers for sandwhiches, wrap and freeze
the slices. I would only defrost the slices in the fridge, not heat
them, I happen to like cold meat loaf sandwhiches with horsey sauce.

"Found a peanut, found a peanut, found a peanut just now, just now I
found a peanut, found a peanut just now." Goes on to say it was rotten
but "ate it anyway".

How about this one? "The worms crawl in the worms crawl out, from your
stomach and out your mouth. Don't ever laugh when a hearse goes by or
you will be the next to die..." That one has origins from soldiers from
the Crimean Wars and WWI but as a kid we used to sing it.

And

"Ta ra ra boom-de-ay, there is no school today. The teacher passed
away, they found her in the bay. When they fished her out, she smelled
like sauerkraut. Ta ra ra boom-de-ay, there is no school today."

Cheerful kids songs. LOL

the version we sang was something like:

(gross alert for the squeemish)

The worms crawl in
the worms crawl out
the worms play pinochle on your snout.

All goes well for about a week
then your casket starts to creak
your eyes get all gooshy green

As young kids, my brothers and I travelled across this country, coast to
coast, in Mom & Dad's station wagon. We had sleeping bags to take naps
in the back; my oldest brother would stretch out on the back seat. Our
parents got a little tired of us singing. Only so many peanut songs
allowed on a 2600 mile trip!

The most annoying traveling song to me was that
"100 bottles of beer on the wall" song.

Kids on a school field trip used to sing that
on the bus. Highly annoying. I would have happily
shot everyone on the bus except the bus driver.

Then tell him to stop the bus and let me out.
I could have done a "drop the mike" thing with the gun,
then strolled off into the sunset.
