Craig's Meatloaf Monstrosity

Say you’re really hungry, and you’re on a low-carb or Paleolithic diet.  You start thinking about Mom’s old stand-by, the humble meatloaf. Now, the typical meatloaf recipe uses breadcrumbs, rice, or oatmeal, but those aren’t allowed on the aforementioned diets. This is the solution.

Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 pound ground pork
• 1 pound ground lamb
• 1 pound ground turkey
• 1 pound ground veal
• ½ head shredded cauliflower
• 2 shredded carrots
• Small bunch chopped parsley
• 4 cloves minced garlic
• 1 chopped onion
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• ½ tsp cayenne pepper
• ½ tsp cumin
• ½ tsp paprika
• 1 tsp dry mustard
• 2 whole eggs
• ⅓ cup liquid egg whites

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
2. Put all ingredients in a large bowl and mix by hand until thoroughly blended.
3. Pour the mix into a 9×13″ pan and form into a loaf around 2″ high.
4. Bake for 45 minutes, then drop the heat to 400°F and bake for an additional 15–25 minutes until internal temperature reaches 140°F.
5. Remove from oven and let rest for 15 minutes.
6. Slice and serve.

Substitutions:

• Really, any combination of meat(s) adding up to 5 pounds is sufficient, especially if you can’t eat pork or beef for religious reasons.
• If you don’t want to use liquid egg whites, just substitute 1–2 more whole eggs.
• The spice combination is completely subject to taste.  Experiment with flavors you like.

Because I liked it so much, I went to Grooveshark and created a playlist of the suggested songs.

Neil then improved the software and relaunched it as a free download.

Actually, Neil’s a good guy. He says he’s “offering the software to help people grow their online businesses in these tough economic times.”

Neil says that all businesses have to leverage people’s assets to succeed and be profitable in a recession, and that’s exactly what his Internet Success Spider software does — it helps you to easily find potential joint venture partners, super affiliates, and link partners.

It makes sense that the guy who started one of the first consumer protection sites online, the ScamFreeZone back in 1997, and has sold over a million dollars of his own products, would want to continue helping other people succeed online.

Although, I strongly suggest you go and grab a copy of the Internet Success Spider right now — before Neil comes to his senses.

The Basic PaperBackSwap Flow:

1. Visit PaperBackSwap and fill in the registration form.
2. List ten books on there that you’re willing to part with.
3. You get two free “credits” for listing ten books. Just pick ten books you didn’t like or aren’t likely to read ever again.
4. You then use one credit to request a book listed on the site, and it gets sent to you by mail for free. When you receive it, you mark it “Received” in PaperBackSwap, and the sender gets a credit.
5. If someone requests one of the books you listed, you ship it out to the requestor’s address. When they mark the book “Received”, you get an a credit.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 indefinitely.

PaperBackSwap offers print-on-demand postage service, which I find preferable to doing manually. There are a few advantages to this:

• The postage and delivery confirmation charges are slightly cheaper than they are from the Post Office.
• When you choose this option, credits are instantly applied to your account, and you don’t have to worry about the receiver forgetting to mark your book “Received”.
• Both you and the reciever have access to the delivery confirmation tracking numbers, so you can be sure the book arrived or where it is currently.
• If the book is under eight ounces, you can drop the book in a mailbox instead of making a special trip to the Post Office.

After nine months, I’ve had a flawless experience with PaperBackSwap and recommend it highly, which is why I included it in my FreeBooks software.

Unlike similar software, mine supports five different redirection methods, instead of only HTML or only PHP. It’s also modestly priced, unlike some $40-and-up scripts I’ve seen tossed around.

Additionally, you’re in control of the redirection, so you don’t have to worry about TinyURL (or related sites) disappearing and/or deleting your links.
