Back in the day, Mom would come home from work to make a delicious home cook meal, my brother and I was hungry and ready to eat it. On our plate sat delicious mashed potatoes and green beans then a slab of meatloaf. Looking back I felt so bad it really wasn’t her cooking, she made delicious meals. The meatloaf was so entrenched with grease, that was all we could taste. We couldn’t taste all the spices and herbs that went into it. When I got married, my husband wanted to try the meatloaf.
