Glory be sunshine, mmmm hmmmm. I am in a good mood today, windows thrown open, fresh air swirling around my house and my skirt, no lie. (It's windy!) La, la, laaaa! Love spring, when it's, you know, springy.

And what says spring like...meatloaf? Yes, meatloaf. I had some ground beef, I had leftover walnut ricotta pesto, I put the two together, with an egg and fresh breadcrumbs, and popped it into the oven. We'll see... I'm thinking I'll serve it with rice and perhaps a simple and light tomato-mushroom sauce. Not too heavy, right? Should make a damn nice sandwich tomorrow as well, which is good, because we have a baseball game, and that means mealtime is optional at best. And I won't even care, if the weather is like this. La, la, laaaa!

Well, the pesto does makes a delicious meatloaf (I'll post the recipe in comments, below). With a simple tomato sauce. NICE! Oh, what surprising temptations emerge from the innocent pairing of heretofore unbeknownst to each other ingredients, the alchemy of which is made possible and indeed almost obvious by the unlikely and yet not uncharming happinstance of being set, in fact placed, next to each other in of all things, a refrigerator... (I'm reading Hardy...sorry...)
