One Hit, One Miss

You know how sometimes you throw together a few ingredients into a simple dish and the dish never comes together, but rather tastes like those few ingredients?  I was concerned we might get that with this cabbage and rice casserole that was glued together with a can of tomato sauce.  It surprised and came out good, and even better as leftovers.  It did have bacon, that could be it.  And it did have low expectations.

The half beef, half bean meatloaf however did not work.  Maybe when the Depression comes we'll applaud Emily for her ability to stretch that special meat purchase, but until then we probably don't need to hear from C again how we ruined her favorite meal and that we never make what she wants.
