Dad and I nearly throttled Mom every time she made a decent meatloaf.
99% were horrible, but those few she made well were never recipeed.
Her excuse was that she just used whatever was on hand, and she liked
variety.

She was a great cook overall, but those damned meatloaves really teed
us off. When I taste something great, I want the recipe, damnit!
Meatloaf can't often be called decent, let alone good.

Recipes are rules and my step mom was above following rules.
