Tasty Tuesday Meatloaf!

Looks like Donna has been in the kitchen again, and this time she's playing with the meat instead of the buns!

She sent me this recipe and said all I had to do was provide the hunk, and when I think "meat," I think of Derrick, so here he is. Be sure to click on him!

I'm blogging on Casablanca Authors today, so after you get done drooling, come on over!
