They have no beef with that.

sooo why not bring a taco, sprinkle sugar on it and wrap it and then everyone lives happily after !

That’s a lot of sweet with your meat. Perhaps consider canceling dessert.

I’m glazing over…

That’s about as bad as Harriet’s angel food cake with seven-minute frosting! (Peanuts, May 12, 1980.) My daughter made one once. Sugar on sugar! Sugar city! Ms. El-Dweek and Mr. Schulz sure have thought alike . .

All that talk about sugar subdued Angermemnon’s anger?

I read somewhere that restaurants that specialize in oyster dishes will take up arms if a patron puts sugar on the oysters. The restaurants consider it an insult.

Oh, that sounds YUMMY!!!

Are you going to warn Dan first, or just let him be surprised?

So Angermemnon (is that the creature’s name?) is tuned in to Omar Khayyam (as imported by Edward Fitzgerald)? Cool!

Meat? Good! Sugar glaze? Good! Together? AWESOME!

Want some meat with your glaze?

Many so-called “natural” products use several different kinds of sugar so it does not show as the Number One ingredient in their product. It’s a loophole in the law that requires ingredients to be listed in weight percentage order, larger to smaller.

Be careful Amanda – we don’t want to see type 2 diabetes become part of a future story line.

Sounds delish, I’d like to know how it turns out.

I would probably just add the preserves. And mix in the Worcestershire when making the loaf. Don’t forget to line the loaf pan with bacon.

SHAWEEET

Add in some white flour or bread and you’re good to go! : )

That’s the way I’ve always known it. Save for the Apricot. It’s only on one edge so the decision is which end to start the cold meatloaf sandwich. Of course, your dad gets the end pieces in sandwiches, wrapped in wax paper, and taken to work for lunch.

I can’t abide sweet and savory together. I know it’s a quirk, not a moral principle.
