One Third Nerd

Okay, so you probably guessed that it isn’t a real meatloaf but pretty darn close! It has been cold around here lately and I haven’t cooked a good old fashioned Sunday Dinner in a while. Steph mentioned she might be around for dinner so I pulled out this recipe for Lentil Loaf that I had on stand-by for a Sunday like this. This recipe is one of Josh’s from his site, My Vegan Cookbook. Sounds like I know Josh, but I don’t. I guess you could call me a secret admirer of his blog (not so secret now!) I recently read his ‘About’ page and realized how much we have in common; he’s a twin, he cares about health and nutrition, he blogs, and his veg-love is something he shares with his brother. So cool. Back to the meatloaf, it was very good and very filling. Steph and I made it together. She made it look pretty.

Since every meal needs some green, I whipped up a quick batch of my ultra-favorite, Rainbow Chard with Cherries & Pinenuts from Tiny Morsels. This recipe is definitely in my personal Top 5 as you can probably tell from this previous post and this previous post. My husband is a wonderfully honest critic, and with this one he freely admits that it just tastes great.

Dinner was ready with plenty of time for Steph, R, and I to hang out before the last episode of The Wire. I would normally rave about how much I love The Wire but according to this hysterical blog, that would make me a typical white person. So now that I’ve accepted that I am a typical white person..The Wire seriously is one of the best shows on television. I recommend renting all seasons, watching them consecutively, and highly recommend taking the time to watch the ‘making of the wire’ pieces. The producers of the show went the extra mile to include real Baltimore people in many many episodes. Loves it!
