That got me thinking. I figured that <a href="http://www.ro-tel.com/">Ro-Tel</a> would make an interesting addition.<br /><br />Here's how it ended up:<br />____________________________________________________<br />Ingredients:<br /><br />1 10 oz can Ro-Tel (undrained)<br />2 lightly beaten eggs<br />2/3 cup panko (any crumbs would do)<br />1 lb ground beef (I actually had 1-1/4)<br />Seasoning (I used Mrs. Dash in the loaf) to taste<br />1 packet onion soup mix (I omitted this accidentally)<br />Heinz Hot & Spicy Ketchup (enough to top loaf)<br /><br />Directions:<br /><br />Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine first six ingredients and mix well. Pour into a loaf pan. Bake at 350 F for 50 minutes. Remove and cover (to taste) with ketchup. Bake 10 minutes more. Enjoy.<br />____________________________________________________<br />For an experiment, this turned out pretty well. I wish I had remembered to get onion soup mix at the store. That was a my bad. Suzanne said the spicy ketchup made it a little too kicked up. I liked it just fine....<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3731551-8110539537655129487?l=vejadu.sdf-us.org%2Fmt%2Fblog' alt='' /></div>Arthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09797793287741960874noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3731551.post-62976110799658138302010-01-01T00:00:00.001-06:002010-01-01T00:00:04.024-06:00_______________________________________________<span style="font-size:64px;">Happy New Year!</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3731551-6297611079965813830?l=vejadu.sdf-us.org%2Fmt%2Fblog' alt='' /></div>Arthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09797793287741960874noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3731551.post-65481779988844744342009-12-25T00:00:00.000-06:002009-12-25T00:00:00.501-06:00To each and everyone out there....<span style="font-size:64px;">Merry Christmas!!!</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3731551-6548177998884474434?l=vejadu.sdf-us.org%2Fmt%2Fblog' alt='' /></div>Arthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09797793287741960874noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3731551.post-34690877798794296532009-12-23T00:47:00.003-06:002009-12-23T00:50:45.071-06:00I've tweeted this already, but I figured I'd embed it in my blog as well....<object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/6QyTLEey-IE&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/6QyTLEey-IE&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object><br /><br />The pictures are scans of pictures I took when we lived in the northeast during the Winter (1990s vintage).

I just figured that it kind of fit. This blog is about everything and nothing at the same time. Sometimes it is mundane and sometimes I might even have an interesting take on things. When you "enter here", I hope that you're not expecting a great deal of profound material. I blog about things that come to mind that are interesting to me. Often, I'll talk about music or politics. I might even talk about the latest and greatest sandwich that I ate. Hence, the idea of "abandoning hope".<br /><br /><a href="http://etcweb.princeton.edu/cgi-bin/dante/campuscgi/mpb/GetCantoSection.pl?INP_POEM=Inf&INP_SECT=3&INP_START=1&INP_LEN=200&LANG=2">http://etcweb.princeton.edu/cgi-bin/dante/campuscgi/mpb/GetCantoSection.pl?INP_POEM=Inf&INP_SECT=3&INP_START=1&INP_LEN=200&LANG=2</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3731551-7082122333968527216?l=vejadu.sdf-us.org%2Fmt%2Fblog' alt='' /></div>Arthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09797793287741960874noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3731551.post-24025222875065805772009-12-06T19:32:00.002-06:002009-12-06T20:17:02.176-06:00Weekend report....Hmmm, where to begin? Friday was an off day, but I had to go in for several hours due to unforeseen circumstances. It's all good, I was only there for several hours. After that, the day was a VERY lazy day. I don't even think I ran on Friday. We did have a fine pizza that night...<br /><br />Saturday started with a kickin' morning exercise hour and snow. After a good shower, we went out to <a href="http://www.cheddars.com/">Cheddar's</a> for a pre-birthday birthday lunch for my wife and a friend of ours. The Cheddar's in town has just opened in the last month. Our best friends got there 20 minutes early and were seated by the time we got there. It's good they arrived earlier than we did, because the wait would have been a little while. For as busy as the joint was, the service was pretty good. The food arrived in a decent amount of time and was as tasty as I remember. On the negative side, the food could have been a little bit warmer. Other than that, the experience was great. We'll be going back again...<br /><br />And then there was the Bama game....<br /><br />I don't consider myself any kind of big fan or anything, but it was good to see The Tide win. We didn't even stick around the house to watch the entire game. I had brought up going to a <a href="http://www.shahala.info/">fundraising event for Toys for Tots</a> that was being put on by a friend from high school earlier in the day. It just so happens that the event was a number of dance acts by women specializing in belly/tribal/world fusion dance with the appropriate accompanying music. I had seen my friend's group perform at Panoply before. My wife actually thought the whole thing was pretty cool. We left a little early for some grub and a chance to stop by to see the Mother Unit (1 each).<br /><br />This morning started with another hour of sweaty exercise. That's always an exhilarating way to start the day. After that, we had breakfast with friends. The monotony of shopping occupied the next couple of hours. It was a lazy enough afternoon until I decided to finally get up and run on the treadmill for five miles. The most exciting part was the catfight in/near our front yard. The run was very refreshing. After a little dinner, here we are: Watching <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1114740/"><i>Paul Blart: Mall Cop</i></a>. Obviously not award-winning, but this flick is mildly entertaining....<br /><br />Well, I think I'll run along now. Y'all have a great week! Peace!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3731551-2402522287506580577?l=vejadu.sdf-us.org%2Fmt%2Fblog' alt='' /></div>Arthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09797793287741960874noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3731551.post-75723579986037079552009-12-05T11:00:00.001-06:002009-12-05T11:00:33.098-06:00Mmmmm, Cheddar's....<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'><p>We first tried Cheddar's in Newport News, VA back in the mid-90s.

I've had the Pumpkin Eggnog and the Sugar Cookie Eggnog. I like both flavors, but of the two, I TOTALLY DIG the Sugar Cookie Eggnog. If, like me, you're an eggnog fan, find some.
