Meatloaf and Mimosas

Jan, 12

If there's one thing about me it's that I love it is food and eating said food. And let it be known that I am Mexican and my family is Mexican. And I'm a hard core gangsta' Mexican! Jk. Obviously I'm not otherwise I wouldn't be here writing in a blog. I'd be busting caps all over the wonderful city of Reno...Anyways I'm getting off topic here.

So I had never tried meatloaf before. So for a couple weeks now my dad had wanted to make meatloaf because I had asked him about it. And the only reason I asked about it was because I had been watching The Amazing Spiderman (the new movie) and in it there's a jab at Aunt May's meatloaf. So I was curious.

So Saturday when we went out we bought everything to make the meatloaf. And we watched a video online and read the instruction from a little booklet. We were set. Between my mom, dad and I (and I suppose my sister, although all she did was set the table) we accomplished our goal and made meatloaf!

And my dad had gotten a recipe for some type of potato salad. And we made that as well. It has potatoes, beets, mayo and a teaspoon of salt and pepper. And you are all set! It was fast and easy to make and it was actually really really good. My favorite potato salad that's for sure.

And the meatloaf was great! I loved it. It was a nice family dinner. And it was delish. We plan to make other type of meatloaves and we will get to them.

Another first for the year and for me in general was mimosas. We made some to go along with our dinner. My dad had gotten some champagne as a Christmas gift from one of his friend so we mixed it with the orange juice and I downed that sucker.

All and all it was a pretty great dinner. And I'm happy that I'm 18 and I can still enjoy these special moments with my parents and little sister.
