My mother's meatloaf wasn't great, but it was good enough that they were
never leftovers. I make meatloaf once or twice a month, but it is
inspired more by the memory of meatloaf I had in restaurants than my
mother's. I make it in large loaves these days because I discovered
that it tastes better re-heated than the first time around.
