Today has been a good day. Thatboy and I got up and headed to our local polling place. In the pouring rain. 15 minutes later we were on our way to work. A good omen, if you ask me. Work went as smoothly as could be and I headed home to hit the gym with Thatboy - tonight, dinner didn't burn. Another good omen. Then we settled in to watch the election results. While all the propositions for California haven't been totaled yet, there was something undeniably exciting about watching history in the making. A moment we will forever be able to tell our children and grandchildren about. A moment where we could finally prove Tupac wrong.
Tonight was not a night I wanted to be stuck in the kitchen, craning to see the television from the stove. While the last meatloaf I made was good, it took a looooong time to make. I wanted something quicker so I reverted back to an old school recipe - all beef meatloaf, which Thatboy has declared his favorite type of meatloaf (although I did get grief for using bread instead of cornflakes....I don't do cornflakes...)

ReplyDeletewe did mexican takeout so we could be glued to the tv last night. such a great night!
ReplyDeleteIt was definitely a great night!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I'd do cornflakes either. Your meatloaf looks good!
ReplyDeleteMeatloaf was the way to go - now why didn't I think of that??? I opened a bottle of red wine and stayed glued to the set. I really think that election was one of America's finest hours (well, many hours). Both speaches were incredible. McCain was particularly gracious.
ReplyDeleteWe made pizza and stayed glued to the TV.
ReplyDeletei have tried so hard to like meatloaf, but i just don't.
