Pancake in a can

Went to the grocery store and found this. OF COURSE I had to try it out. Basically a canister for whipping cream with pancake batter inside. The can itself cracks me up. Right there on the top ... it proclaim that it's ORGANIC.

Here goes my first try with the stuff. Wish me luck.
The outcome? Not too bad. I like the "normal" pancakes' texture. It's usually a little more chew, a little more "cakey" The canned stuff's really fluffy. A little too much so. Looks good, but mostly airy and foamy.

Meatloaf!!!

So weather's a bit cooler now that it's supposed to be winter ... though we've been having really nice summery weather in the 70s lately ... but still ...

I've been experimenting with meatloaf lately.

First batch consisted of ground turkey, sauteed onion, carrots, celery along with ketchup, bread, salt and pepper. That was yummy ...

For the second batch, I used ground beef instead of turkey. Along with the aforementioned, I added hungarian parika and dried fruits (raisens, dried cranberries, dried cherries, dried blueberries). That was even better ...

Third batch had added bread crumb, less regular bread, and the addition of crumbled up soft tofu. It worked!!! The tofu actually made an already tender meatloaf even more tender. Tasty too.

Next batch will have some toasted pine nuts in it ... maybe basil too.
