Recipes For Lean Times - Meat Loaf

The almost endless variety of meat loaves are delicious hot and cold ( the cold ones slice more easily ). For a crusty loaf, shape the meat and bake in a shallow pan. A moister loaf is made by cooking in a loaf pan, which may be lined with heavy waxed paper, leaving the edges sticking out above the loaf to facilitate the removal of the loaf from the pan. Dressing can be baked between layers of the ground meat. Tomato, mushroom, vegetable or other canned soup can be used for basting any meat loaf, or place strips of bacon over the top. Below is a simple recipe for lean times.



1, slightly beaten egg

3/4 cup of milk

1 cup of dried bread crumbs

2 pounds of ground beef

2 tablespoons of finely chopped onion

2 teaspoons of salt

1/4 teaspoon of pepper

1/4 cup of ketchup or chili sauce



Combine egg and milk; add bread crumbs and soak for 10 minutes.



Add beef, onion, salt and pepper; mix lightly. Do not pack.



Place in a loaf pan or shape into a loaf on a shallow baking pan. Spread ketchup or chili sauce on top.



Bake in a moderate oven ( 350 deg. F. ) for about 1 hour.



Final Note: Ground pork may be substituted for part of the beef - not more than half; or use equal amounts of beef, pork and veal. Tomato juice may be substituted for milk; or for a drier loaf reduce or omit the liquid. In a loaf that will be served cold, hard cooked eggs, olives and pickles can be added.



Cheap and tasty eating to you.

Recipes For Lean Times - Hash De Luxe

Here are secrets to success with hash: Add 2 to 3 ounces of raw chopped meat, such as bacon or liver, first fried in drippings in which a sliced onion has been cooked. Add the previously cooked chopped meat and cook only long enough to heat.

Occasionally substitute tomato juice, diluted ketchup, canned soup or other liquid to moisten the hash.

Use carrots instead of potatoes.

Or make the dish entirely of meat, thickening it if necessary.

Serve on buttered toast, as shortcake on hot biscuits, or in a casserole topped with mashed potatoes, or with buttered bread crumbs with cheese. Or bake in tomato, green pepper or onion cases.

Hash is also good served on fried slices of eggplant

Online Business Opportunities - How Do I Start?

How to start your own online business venture is a great question. Mind if we start with a little story to kind of set up the picture?
Awhile back, I knew this kid who had always wanted to be a doctor. While he was in high school, a relative of his went on to be with the Lord, and left him with a fair sum of money. Although he grieved the loss of his relative, he never wavered in his plans of being a doctor. Soon after graduating from high school, He took his inheritance and purchased some office space and equipment he thought he would need to set up his practice. Let's get this party started, he had thought to himself. It wasn't long before he'd realize his folly. He didn't know how to use the equipment. He didn't know the procedures. He didn't know the terminology. All the required necessities to run a successful practice, he didn't have. What he did have, was an empty bank account. What he did know was that he had misspent his fortune.
All was not lost though. Other members of his family had also received an inheritance. So after humbly approaching them, he told them how he had foolishly jumped into the arena of medicine without the proper preparations. They all happily agreed to give him the money he needed to go to college and get the education he needed to become a successful doctor. Well, he did indeed develop a successful practice unto which he was able to repay his family with interest. Than the lawsuits from the previous venture began to... Well, that's another story.
How do I start an online bussiness, as I said before, is an excellent question. The lessons that I hope we learn from the story above is, we need:
Education / Training -- Learning the fundamentals of how to Use your equipment. Computer, copier / fax, and telephone.
Terminology -- Understanding what SEO, FTP, FTP pathways are. Of course there are many more.
Procedures -- How to utilize the above points to your advantage. Please understand that the foundational groundwork that ypu build upon isn't free. Trial and error, if you try to learn on your own, costs time and misspent money. Be willing to spend a few dollars to get started on the most interesting and profitable adventure you could ever dream of. There are many on-line money making sites to choose from. Unfortunately, they don't offer comprehensive training, like designing and building your own money making web site. Or how to get your site up and running, hosted, and listed on the major search engines, like Google, Yahoo!, or MSN, to name a few. Looking for other platforms like affiliate marketing, Google AdSense, and selling information products to be included in the package, is a great start.
Remember. Finding an affordable, comprehensive package that has 24/7 support and gives you a life time membership for a one time fee is the most valuable investment you can give yourself towards your long term goals.

Recipes For Lean Times

Lean times have definitly hit my household, as well as yours, most likely. Laid off on the last day of the year, followed by a heart attack eleven days later, I spent nine days thinking about how am I going to take care of my family. Of course God, in His word, told me He'd take care of everything! In that, I was reminded that I've been cooking for a long time. What have I done in the past when things were lean? I MADE HOBO STEW! I'll explain all about Hobo Stew and where it comes from in future blogs, and give you great tasting, family pleasing recipes that I've made and tested with my family. ( That sounds cruel, I know. They trust me. That's pretty cool, huh?)

In the fridge I found some left over corn. About one and half cups worth. Maybe two. Two hamburger patties that I chopped into small bits. {The patties were from the other night's barbeque.} About two and a half to three cups of mashed potatoes. Put it all in a micro- wavable casarole dish { bowl or what have you } and nuke {microwave, cook} for about a buck and a half. {1min. 30 sec.} Stir and serve.
