Meatloaf A La Kitchen Floor

I was making meatloaf today, and we were all excited about it because it was pepper jack meatloaf and it is SOOO good.  It was taking forever to cook.  I was going back and forth between checking on the food and rocking baby B who had 4 shots today.  It was finally done.  I started taking it out of the oven... mmm... it smells sooo good..... BAM!  While I was taking the meatloaf out of the oven, I dropped it on the floor.  Glass flew everywhere.  I'm not sure what happened.  I stood there, looking at the meatloaf, the cheese oozing out onto the floor.  Time had stopped.  My beautiful, cheesy, yummy meatloaf.  Well, I decided there was nothing I could do.  I couldn't eat around the glass and dog hair.  So, my husband ordered pizza.  I started cleaning up.  Sweeping up the glass.  Bye, bye meatloaf.  I had to wash the floor since it was all greasy.  Hubbby was ordering pizza.  Baby B was crying.  I grabbed the swiffer mop and mopped the whole floor, feeling ambitious.  As I walked around on the newly washed floor, I realized that it felt like I was walking on ice.  I figured it was because it was wet, but after awhile of slipping and slidding all over, I realized that I didn't wash the floor.  I had only smeared the grease all over from wall to wall.  Oh bother.  Baby B is STILL crying.  Get out the bucket and mop.  Try again.  This time use Murphy's Oil.  Ah.  Much better.  (This was no where near the mess I made when I made "the cake").  Pick up baby.  Rock baby.  Watch family eat salads.  Hear tummy rumble.  So after Baby B settled down and fell into a semi-sleep, I sat down in my lazy boy to eat my salad.  I was eating with my left hand, trying to keep rocking/bouncing so that Baby B would stay asleep.  Boy, am I talented.  heheh....

Feb. 21, 2006 - So sorry about the loss of your supper...

Posted by eakrabel
The same thing happened to me once with an apple pie, only I dropped it upside down half in the oven and half on the floor. Don't ask me how, cause I still don't know how it happened. Such a mess and such a disappointment. I almost cried.

I hope it was a good pizza. :)

Feb. 22, 2006 - Where was Abiga?

Posted by Abiga51
OK You are all wonder ing where was Abiga when this happened, probably blogging and ignoring it all. No, I was upstairs im my room geting organized, cleaning etc. Sometimes I go up when my son-in-law gets home so they have family time. Besides the meatloaf was in the oven and everything was ok when I went up. I came down smelling the delicious aroma of that meatloaf only to find it was in the trash. Sorry dear daughter. Pizza was good too. Never could buy this kind down in Georgia anyway. Blessings.
