Christmas can [still] change the world. This year, Give Presence.
The story of Christ’s birth is a story of promise, hope, and a revolutionary love.
So, what happened? What was once a time to celebrate the birth of a savior has somehow turned into a season of stress, traffic jams, and shopping lists.
And when it’s all over, many of us are left with presents to return, looming debt that will take months to pay off, and this empty feeling of missed purpose. Is this what we really want out of Christmas?
Today is Veterans Day, so please make sure to take a moment to stop and thank a veteran, and all currently active service men and women, you know for their service to our great country! Without their loyal and dedicated service none of us might even be here today.
Servings: 2 to 6, depending on how hungry you are!
Meatloaf:
1 lb Lean Ground Turkey
1 cup of Cracked Pepper Triscuts (or your favorite breadcrumbs)
2 Large Eggs (if the turkey is extra lean you might need to add an extra egg to help bind the meat more)
Few shakes of Salt & Pepper
Put ingredients in mixing bowl, wash your hands well and get messy mixing it with your hands. Don’t be a pansy now, it’s fun! It’ll make the food taste better when you use your hands, I swear!
Cooking time depends on the dish and oven. I use a greased 7in corningwear dish and takes about 45-50 min at 400f.
Topping:
1 Tablespoon Lawry’s Garlic Spread (microwave to melt)
1-2 Tablespoon Dijon Mustard
1/4 – 1/3 cup Miracle whip or kraft olive oil mayo
1/2 – 2/3 cup Kraft Parmeasean Cheese
Few shakes of Salt & Pepper
Prep: Once the meatloaf is done spread the topping on and toss under broiler so topping gets a light golden brown crustyness. For some added spice lightly sprinkly with cayeene pepper.
Extras: If the turkey is very lean or just gets very dry once cooked I will mix up a little bit of mayo and mustard as a “dipping” sauce on the side.
Disclaimer: I have never actually followed this recipe exactly or measure anything. I just eyeball and add what looks right to me, so most of the measures are just best guesses. For me cooking is about experimenting and trial and error. Just go with it and have fun!
The opening of the magical box. I always love getting new stuff!
Bahia BLU Churchills. Look pretty good!
Gran Habano 3 Siglos Robustos. I’ve heard very good things about these cigars. I can’t wait to try one.
One of the great reasons to buy from Cigars International, freebies like lighters!
Well there you have it folks. The siglos are for me and the bahia blus are for a co-worker but we’ll probably trade a few. Besides that i have two bottles of CI’s special Cigar Juice, a special propylene glycol/distilled water mix, for keeping humidors humid and a 4oz Humi-Care jar of Humidification Gel, also for the co-worker to keep his humidor humid.
