At our local QFC, they sell meatloaf mix. It's packaged on styrofoam
just like hamburger, and it consists of a blob of ground beef, a blob
of veal, and a blob of pork. I had never seen it before, and have
bought it twice now. Makes a good loaf!

Not sure what a QFC is, but do you have to put the veal in? Or, does it just
blend in with the other two meats?

I was sorta under the impression that meat loaf was just ground beef with
breadcrumbs mixed in, an egg and some salt..

I'm in over my head!!!

No you're not- QFC is a grocery chain around here (Seattle). No, you
don't need the veal, and I typically would not buy it, but it's in the
package, so what the hell. And you are right about meatloaf- there are
as many different "recipes", but you got the basics, altho I would add
chopped onion and garlic, a little worstershire sauce, BBQ sauce,
mustard, etc. Do you have a good cookbook? Try "Joy of Cooking" - you
can learn a lot by just reading it. You are heading in the right
direction- you seem eager to learn, and sometimes that's half the
battle. Trial & error are part of the deal, too. Good luck!
