Lacey, my recipe is close to yours. I've changed my mind and am now making meatloaf. I just bought bunch of ground sirloin on sale, so it's just perfect. With some mashed potatoes, brown gravy and buttered carrots and peas. YUM! Fish and spinach salad can wait another day...
I was given a meatloaf recipe by an italian neighbor of mine who got it from his grandmother, it is:
1 Lb of ground beef
1 Lb ground veal
1 Lb ground Pork
Dry Salami
9 eggs (raw)
3-4 hard boiled eggs
1 1/2 cups seasoned italian bread crumbs
3/4 cup grated Loccattelli or Peccorino Romano cheese
Parsley
Some salt
About 10 cloves of Garlic
Mix all ingredients together, the texture should be wet but firm, if not wet enough add another egg.
Put half the mixture in a loaf pan then take the hard boiled eggs and lay them on their side and press them in a bit. Add sliced salami in a layer and then add the rest of the mixture so the hard boiled eggs are encased in meat.
Bake at 350 deg until done.
The idea is when you slice it you get a slice of hard boiled egg and Salami as well.
Note: If it won't fit in you're loaf pan you can make a loaf of it on a cookie sheet.
I've made this many times and boy is it good!

Greetings all, once again a family health issue has kept me from this forum...and I sure have missed it.
My elderly father was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma early last week and then hospitalized with pneumonia, so I've spent a lot of time at the hospital with him and the rest of my family.
Needless to say I haven't had much time to cook, or log onto C-D...
Tonight is going to be my first meal at home since last week, and I've got a chicken roasting in the oven, and will have roasted potatoes, broccoli and a spinach salad.
Nomad, I haven't read back to see how your son is doing...I hope things are going well with him!
Lacey - Sounds like you have a wonderful doctor and I am so proud for you! Most Doctors would not be so attentive! My thoughts and prayers with you too! Love ya - Mean it!
Wow, another busy day here. But then, they all are, aren't they?
Seattlerain, I am so sorry to hear of your dad's illness; that's a scary thing to contemplate, I know. And to deal with it at the holidays seems to make it worse somehow, doesn't it? Just adds to the stress. On the bright side, there have been some wonderful discoveries made in treating non-Hodgkin's, and in the hands of a good specialist, your dad will very likely make a full recovery. It'll be a tough road, but he can make it. I'll send him healing thoughts - and to you as well. Kats is absolutely correct that you MUST take time for yourself as well, else you risk illness and worse. Please be gentle with yourself in the weeks to come.
Lacey, what a wonderful, wonderful report about Mr. L's doctor! He is indeed a rare breed among physicians, and you are fortunate to have such a caring and thorough practitioner on your team. Don't blame you a bit for liking him so much - I just wish he was closer to Madison!
On the meatloaf question that was asked a few pages back, I don't think that any two meatloafs we've made have tasted the same. Sometimes we make them all with ground beef; sometimes a mixture of ground beef and ground pork; sometimes even a bit of ground lamb in the mix. For the thickening/glue, we've used oatmeal, breadcrumbs, tortilla crumbs, cornflake crumbs and masa. For spicing, sometimes we go traditional with garlic, onion, chopped green pepper, Worcestershire sauce and ketchup on top, sometimes we go Italian with fennel and oregano and extra garlic, sometimes we add a Mexican taste with cumin, chili powder and salsa on top - the sky's the limit. It's all good!
Tonight's supper was supposed to be beef-barley stewp with the daughter and sig-other and his daughter, but our daughter is having back problems again and isn't up for anything but lying flat on her back and taking muscle relaxants. Doc referred her for PT today, but her insurance coverage ends the end of this month, so she's stressing over the cost. Of course we'll help her, but she's trying so hard to be independent.... It just takes a while to get there. She'll make it.
Since we won't have a crowd around the table, we put the stewp on hold until the kids can join us, and the spouse whomped up something that involves shrimp, noodles, and, judging from the aroma, lots of garlic. In fact, he just announced that supper is ready, so see y'all later!
