Bread Making and Meatloaf

There can be a certain knack to making bread,it is like all things and takes some practice to get it good ,not perfect as some of the best things have their own flavor!.I remember the very first meatloaf I everrr made!! It was at my gramothers of course only a grandmother,one on a limited budget ,would let you use her supplies without "helping" and all by yourself! And sooo! I kept the ingredients a surprise! I watched as my Grandpa took the first bite! He made a kinda funny face at first,i could see he was struggling to find something to say..."do you like it?" I asked watching his face?? He was quiet for only a second in which he looked at my grandmother who had also taken a taste by now. I saw them exchange glances... then my grandpa said.. "yes, why yes.it's very good" well by now I also had tasted the creation !LOL!! I knew without a doubt my grandpa had not told the truth!! I also knew instantly that the cinnamon and cloves I had always seen my grandma add to her apple pie was not good in MEATLOAF!!!! I"ll never forget that day and how they both finished their portions! My grandpa wasn't one much for words,but I knew how much he had to have loved me to eat that horrible stuff! Well,so my first attempt at meatloaf was not so good ,but as the years passed Icame up with a recipe that was just what my grandpa could have truly eaten with a straight face!!

What a great story and so true..When you love someone so much, you hate to hurt them..Quite a few things our girls made that left us eating very slowly..but with the smile on our face.
