And lots of extra stale Kaiser rolls to stretch the meat loaf and meat
balls... and add rice too. I don't mind the extra bread crumbs but
I don't like rice in my meat loaf or meat balls... I especially don't
like rice in stuffed peppers or stuffed cabbage.
Nowadays chicory costs as much if not more than coffee.
