Sun, 3 February 2008 Kristina and I made a wonderful meatloaf for dinner tonight--so good that we wanted to share the recipe with you. It's based on this recipe from the Food Network, but we added the mushrooms and beer. Salad oil 1 carrot 2 stalks celery 1 medium onion 1/2 pound mushrooms 2 pounds ground beef 2 eggs Salt and freshly ground black pepper Dash Tabasco Dash Worcestershire sauce 3 slices bread Beer 1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs Ketchup Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Dice carrot, celery, onion and mushrooms. A food processor is ideal, but you can do it by hand if you're more patient than we are. Saute the veggies in a saucepan with a couple of dribbles of salad oil. Set aside to cool, then drain the excess juice. Meanwhile, soak the three pieces of bread in beer. In a large bowl, put the veggie mixture, ground beef, eggs, salt, pepper, Tabasco, and Worcestershire sauce. Squeeze the beer out of the bread (like a sponge) and tear the bread into pieces into the veggie and beef mixture. Add the bread crumbs and mix thoroughly. Roll the mixture into a firm loaf and place in a loaf pan. Spread ketchup over the top. Bake in preheated oven for 45 to 55 minutes. Take out and let sit for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Wed, 5 December 2007  What is a podcast? A podcast is an Internet audio or video show that users can subscribe to via Really Simple Syndication (RSS). But I don't own an iPod. One doesn't need to own an iPod to subscribe to a podcast. Users can subscribe to a podcast using an aggregator such as Itunes or Juice. You can also visit Podcastready or Podcast Pickle, where you can create a free account to subscribe and listen to any number of podcasts. Can't I just download the audio file from the web site? Sure. But that requires you having to remember to visit the web site to see if there are any new shows. Subscribing to the podcast's feed pushes the new content to your aggregator. This stuff is neat. Where can I find more podcasts? Visit Podshow, Adam Curry's Daily Source Code, and/or Podcast Alley. Mmm... need more information... Then visit wikipedia's entry for Podcast or visit Itunes. Or just Google "what is a podcast" and go crazy. Category: help -- posted at: 9:16 PM Comments[0] |
