No fixed plans. Not intent upon arriving.
Some new features…
Orange juice and two low-fat sweet rolls for breakfast.
Despite the demise of Emazing, <a href="http://southernfood.about.com/library/recipes/bl60197e.htm" title="Chef Nick Sundberg">Nick Sundberg</a>, the author of the two recipes below, seems to be alive and well as the Executive Chef at the historic Beaumont Inn in Harrodsburg, Kentucky — wait, this information appears to be from <a href="http://southernfood.about.com/library/recipes/bl60197c.htm" title="Chef Nick's Cooking School From About.com">1997</a>, so maybe it’s not an accurate reflection of the present…
OK, so he’s alive and well on the Internet, at least. There are a lot of his recipes floating around, probably from the same e-mail newsletter I got these two recipes from.
While we are at it, here is another from the now-defunct Emazing archives. I believe that the “Marinara sauce (optional)” it mentions is the recipe below this one.
Italian-Style Meatloaf
The flavors of Italy transform simple meatloaf into something special.
Serves 4-6
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground chuck
- ½ cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
- ½ cup Milk
- 1 Egg
- ¼ teaspoon Fennel seed
- ½ teaspoon Basil
- ½ teaspoon Oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 small Onion, minced
- 1 teaspoon Garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
- Marinara sauce (optional)
Directions
Pre-heat the oven to 350°. Mix together the chuck, breadcrumbs, milk, egg and spices. Heat the oil in a skillet. Add the onion and garlic. Cook until just soft. Add to the meat mixture. Put into a loaf pan and bake (on a cookie sheet) for 1 hour or until firm in the middle. Top with the sauce (if used) after slicing.

I am going to put this one up as well, from another blog of mine, since the original has now dissappeared.
Marinara Sauce With Meat
This all-purpose Italian-style tomato sauce can be used over pasta, in lasagna, on pizza, or with baked chicken.
Makes 8-10 servings
Ingredients
- 4 strips Bacon
- 1 medium Onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon Garlic, minced
- 4 cups crushed (or ground) Pear Tomatoes
- 1 ½ tablespoons Basil
- 2 teaspoons Oregano
- ¼ cup Red Wine (optional)
Directions
Render the fat from the bacon in a medium saucepan over low heat. Remove the bacon strips. Add the onion and garlic and cook until soft, but do not brown. Add the remaining ingredients and simmer over a low heat for about two hours. Stir often to prevent scorching.

I have been holding this recipe on a piece of paper in my computer bag for quite some time now. I found it on the food network site. Rather than continue to carry it around and possibly loose it, I thought I would stick it up here for posterity.

Orange juice and low-fat two sweet rolls this morning.
<ins datetime="2003-10-24T12:37:00-05:00">Lunch was orange chicken over lo mien noodles, hot and sour soup and a small sierra mist with a walk back home from the HUB — maybe a mile.</ins>
<ins datetime="2003-10-25T06:14:00-05:00">Dinner was a bowl of chili, cornbread, and a Waldorf salad.</ins>
OK. I just modified my Blogger template to automatically include a comments link using my script down in the post attribution line.
