I've had a few requests to get the ugly flooring picture off the top of my blog. So here ya go. Sorry about the quality of this pic, but it was taken thru my dining room window. Although it might be hard to tell the scale of the birdhouse, it is tiny. Like the opening is about the same size circle you would make when putting your index finger and thumb together in an "A-OK" sign. We meant to throw it away along time ago. Jeff thought that (and a lot of other things left behind by the previous owner) were tacky. But now we're so glad we didn't because we have baby birds in there! We found them because they're so dang noisy! We can sit in our dining room, listen to the chirping, and watch Mama bird fly back and forth feeding the babies. A few days ago we could see three little birdie mouths poking out. Now they half way climb out to take food from Mama. I tried to get a picture of the babies, but if you walk close to the house they pipe down real fast.
So is that a better picture? I did the meatloaf first so you wouldn't be left with that one.

Baby birds!!! How precious is that!! And if you click on the picture to enlarge it, you can see an itty bitty mouth in there, wide open, waiting for a juicy worm.
And about that meatloaf...it looks perfect to me, just right for sandwiches. You don't need it, but here's the most famous meatloaf recipe on the planet, almost 50 years old, from "Dear Abby" (or her twin sister, "Dear Ann, I can never remember which one).
It's called EVERYBODY'S FAVORITE MEATLOAF.

3/4 cup ketchup
1 teaspoon Accent® seasoning mix
1/2 cup warm water
1 package Lipton onion soup mix

1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
Directions:
Mix together all ingredients except bacon and tomato sauce. Mix very well. Form into a loaf and put into a bread loaf pan. Cover with bacon and pour tomato sauce over loaf.

Did that recipe really say "Cover with bacon..." Anything covered in bacon is going to be TASTY!!! But to be honest, I actually liked the linoleum photo. I see a lot of that around here , you know, a former communist country can be stuck in the past...
New blog entry please......
