Sounds like you have your own white tornado ... drives me nuts
going crazy looking for something only to find, oh, I threw that out,
I didn't think you wanted it. Grrr.

I just make two loaves, freeform, and cook them in a baking dish
side by side. I don't think I'd like meatloaf cubes, but to each their
own. Leftovers make nice sandwiches on white with butter ... I can
only imagine that's something leftover from my childhood. Or I reheat
it until barely warm and have that with ketchup or gravy on it.

Meatloaf and mashed potatoes ... hmmm, soon as it cools down.
Don't forget the peas. The all (mostly) mushy comfort food dinner.
