What on Earth do you call meatless meatloaf? I tried to come up with the answer to this as many times as the kids asked me the question (no, not where did I come from...what's for dinner) yesterday. I settled on loaf, but being as it was Meatless Monday, they quickly decoded my response, narrowed their eyes and asked disgustedly "Does that mean it has tofu in it?" What could I say? "Yes", I confessed, as they walked off to plot their next move. Once I had served it to them, the questions began again. "What is this green stuff?" "Celery. You like celery." "What else is in it?" "Ketchup, egg, bread crumbs, onion, garlic salt, and liquid aminos. And some agave barbecue sauce on top." "Do I have to eat it?" "All of it?" "Yes, and hurry up, cause Mom and Dad have yoga class and we need to go!" So, eat it they did, and off we went. The Mailman and I ate when we got home; he asked fewer questions and declared it to be good, but was not helpful in coming up with what to call it. All in all, loaf was a moderate success, and as for the kids, well...Nothing erases the memory of Meatless Monday like bacon on Tuesday.
