I have this nose hair...
...that grows from one side of my nostril to the other. I have to pull it every so often. I guess it’s just a little reminder that time is passing by. I was sitting in my recliner, minding my own business, when all of a sudden, the nose hair made it to the other side. It’s been driving me nuts ever since. I can’t find the tweezers...can ANYBODY find a frickin pair of tweezers when you need them? I buy them...I use them once and they’re gone. I never see them again. Somewhere in this house is a shitload of tweezers. But, I digress.
That damned hair is about as far as he’s gonna go. I can’t get a grip on it and I look like I’m sitting here picking my nose. The nail-clippers are no good, tried that before. After you shove a nail clipper halfway to your brain, it only CLIPS the hair, thereby making it shorter and even harder to get a hold of, even if I DO find the tweezers. God, it must suck to be men and have these things coming out of every orifice, freckle and pointy spot that you have. Shit, this hair is making me nuts. Where in the hell are those tweezers?
I am making a loaf O’ meat. It’s a special recipe. Don’t you just adore SPECIAL meat loaf recipes? I know I do. I decided to add a little of Bonnie’s favorite food into my loaf....Bonnie from Bonnie and Clyde, that is. Yep. That’s right...I added red beans and rice to my loaf. I was out of bread and apparently every kind of bread known to man, not a hot dog bun, hamburger bun, bagel, biscuit...nothing, you name it, there is not one piece of yeast leavened food in this house.
So, I remembered when I was a kid and read the side of the oatmeal box. I lead a very sheltered life. On the side of the box they had a recipe for meat loaf and it didn’t have bread...it had oat meal. From that thought, it was just a hop, skip and a jump to the red beans and rice. And this is the stuff of which famous recipes are made.
Where in the HELL are the tweezers? I can’t stand this...I have to walk away. OK, I’m back. I think I got the bastard. I pulled a couple. I hope I got the right one. I’ll know if it’s still there because the hair will come undone from whatever other hairs it’s tangled up with and it’ll pop back onto my nostril wall. That’ll wake a person up.
Hey, would you like to have some fun? When you are sleeping with someone, stick a string, or a long hair, up their nose and twist it a bit while their eyes are closed. Now THAT’S entertainment.
Anyway, the red beans and rice are not the only thing that makes my loaf special. Not by a far sight. Instead of ketchup, I looked in the fridge and pulled out a jar of pizza sauce. I thought...that’ll be tasty.
Yep....this is one tasty meat loaf. I also took one third of it...the third at one end...not the middle, and I made two little craters. They had deep meat loaf walls that went straight up and down. There was one crater on each side of the one third that I was working with...are you with me here? Then, I chopped up some onions and green peppers and I put them down inside the big meat loaf craters. Oh yeah, before I went all pizza and pepper nuts, I was going to make a normal loaf O’ meat so I put an envelope of brown gravy mix in that sucker. Them’s some eats. So, right now, my big ol’ crater loaf pepper, red beans and rice (by the way, the seasoning was in the same envelope as the red beans and rice, it went in too.) pizza sauce mess is cooking at 350. Also, I’m making some julienne potatoes and peas. No bread. I will make a salad though, but no croutons either.
OK, what else? I have some popsickles. I guess I’m set for the night. The pillow’s on the couch and the movie is in the movie thing...I’ll be going now. If I don’t come back, tell the doctors it was the meat loaf that done her in.

My son is home, he LOVES the dinner. Of course, he hasn't seen my secret recipe. And still, he finds the need to put ketchup on that thing. I wanted you to see what I was talking about so I posted a picture of my loaf. The green part is the top of a pile topping the two craters full of peppers and onions. Mmh...mmh...good.
