He-e-ey-y, I can use my knives just fine, thank you. I thought about
grinding the veggies and then decided it was too much bother for what I
was sure I was going to end up with. I don't think my crappy meatloaf
is the fault of the fp-chopped veggies -- it lacked seasoning and
moisture. Your mention of the meatloaf came after I'd done my shopping
and had picked up a coupla pounds of ground round. That I had; a chuck
roast I do not have. You might be right about DIY grinding. Maybe next
time. The idea of grinding/including veggies in the loaf was
interesting to me; I might do it again.
