Making Meatloaf

     The first time Rissy and I made a meatloaf together, she was aghast when I used my hands to mix the ingredients. In fact, her very words were, "Ew - gross!" However after watching for a few seconds, she couldn't resist and asked to try her hand(s). Suffice it to say that every piece of onion, etc. was never more thoroughly incorporated. So her initial question, "Why use hands instead of a spoon?" to which I answered,  "For two reasons: Because my mother did and because it mixes up better", was also answered in a more tactile way. I don't think she ever enjoyed eating meatloaf as much as she did that night either.
