My first record store job, the manager called us all over and held up a Four Tops album and said the following........

"I found this filed under T. Would one of you please point out which one of these gentlemen is Mr. Top."

I remember hearing Jimi Hendrix's "Are You Experienced" album for the first time in one of those little glass booths. From the first squawks of "Are You Experienced" my eyes must have bugged out wide! I doubt that I have ever been the same!:cool:

I believe he spells it as one word. He goes under M.

[saturn]

I believe he spells it as one word. He goes under M.

Nope - two words - AMG and Wikipedia agree on that ;)

And some newstories apparently refer to him as Mr. Loaf :rolleyes:

Ahh, the summer of '67. I bought that album, the first I ever bought. All were 45s before. And I bought it from the daughter of Stan Lewis, Susan. She was the "Suzie Q" that Dale Hawkins wrote the song about when she was a 2yo. She's still damn qute at 50. I also bought tickets to Jimi's concert there. Life changed in many ways when I was 12 years old, and not just musically.

[Amy Winette]

Hmm, well Meatloaf is under M in my collection. Yes, he is in my collection.

[sophisticated sissy]

Well, to further clarify, I file Muddy Waters under "M" and Howlin' Wolf under "B". For McKinley Morganfield and Chester Burnet, of course.:)

[ohio]

I file SD under F for Fagen

I have a great Meatloaf recipe-combination of my mom's and one of the cooks I used to work with and I file that und....OHhhhh, that Meat Loaf, well his website has it as two works but I file it under A for Aday as in Marvin Lee Aday, his birthing day name

[Zydekitten]

Well, as for myself, I prefer to think of Mr. Loaf as he was in The Rocky Horror Picture Show:

[mightyradgumbo]

His greatest role to date, I feel, Zkitty.

[NeenAtlanta]

Great thread drift - I think we need a new thread - what were the first few albums (or cd's for the younger t-heads) that you bought?

[Amyloves...]

Drift warning: I changed things up and made the best meat loaf I've ever made Monday night. This thread has inspired me and I shall call the recipe Mr. Loaf.

Does that mean you keep Bob Dylan under Z and Elvis Costello under M? David Bowie under J? Dr. John under R? Prince under N?

Must be hard to keep track.

[bluesgirl]

I arrange mine by color.

[tangledupinblue]

I am actually eating meatloaf right now and it is damn good. Mine is made with ground turkey though.

AND what about the Doobie Brothers? Are they a bunch of brothers with the last name Doobie?

[saturn]

And what about the Barenaked Ladies??

Talk about false identity!:p

Yep, among my nerdiness I worked in libraries and record stores, and delivered pizzas as well. I guess the liquor store and the nightclubs restored my cool quotient.

I make mine with ground turkey too, TUIB!!! In fact, you and Amyloves have inspired me to make my own Mr. Loaf tonight (with a baby red potato mash) - Hot Patooty, Bless My Soul indeed!!

He's been out the door since post-Taupin.

[Amy Winette]

I love love love the Barenaked Ladies Saturn! I put them under "B" :)

Somebody asked about first albums, mine were tapes Whitney Houston (1st & 2nd album), Tiffany and Milli Vanilli. Yes, I still have all of them.

[saturn]

... Milli Vanilli. Yes, I still have all of them.

Brave of you to admit to that! :p

[joe]

Maybe they should be "Rusty" Dan at this point.

[Amyloves...]

Here's the recipe...amazingly I actually wrote down what I did. I took some ideas from different recipes I'd seen and made my own. Hate when I do that and forget what I did:

"Mr. Loaf"
1 T butter
1/2 med onion, chopped (about a cup)
1/2 bell pepper, chopped (1/2 cup)
3 cloves minced garlic
3 slices white bread, lightly toasted then chopped up small
10 butter crackers, crumbled
1/4 cup ketchup
2 T worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup milk
1 or 2 eggs (I used 2, but not that big)
juice of 1/2 a lemon
salt and pepper
2.25 lbs ground round

Topping: 2 T ketchup + 1.5 T brown sugar + couple dashes worcestershire.

Saute the onion and bell pepper in the butter till softened and carmelized. Add the garlic just for a minute or two. While these cool slightly, add the other ingredients (other than the topping) to the meat and mix. (Don't overmix, just as much as necessary.) Then add the cooked veggies and mix. Form this into a loaf in a 9 * 13 pan and bake at 350 for one hour. (I used a stone pan from Pampered Chef) Mix the topping stuff, spread on top and cook an additional 15 minutes. Allow Mr. Loaf to rest for 10 minutes or so before you cut into it. This turned out great.

Hmmm, that's an interesting one - I'll have to try it, but with ground turkey instead of ground round.

I have a couple of great Mr. Turkey Loaf recipes - one "white" one with mustard and one "red" one with tomato sauce (both yummers).

NEVER any ketchup/catsup!!!

[Amyloves...]

It's not a ton of ketchup, but just gives some flavor to the meat. I was iffy on the topping and hadn't done that ever before but it worked.

[mightyradgumbo]

Au Contraire, Mon Ami-I saw them last summer and they were very much the Steely Dan I remember seeing back in the day. Michael McDonald was a great addition and they had some smokin hot musicians assisting them. Always have, if I remember correctly.

[breambob]

Let's don't forget about "Skunk"...

Well, whatever works and plucks your chicken, Amyloves Luv!! I really just don't like ketchup myself . . . I use tomato sauce/pasta sauce for the topping myself, which I personally prefer.

[Turbodog]

Joe, they will be Steely sharp, you can bet that. Have you heard there recent recordings? These guys are not only pros, they are all pros. Will be one of the best sets of the fest. Rusty, I don't think so.

Last night my husband got frustrated with me because he couldn't find our Professor Longhair cd's. Looked under "P" and then under "F"for Fess. But of course it was under "L"for longhair.

I told him he can't complain, and least I didn't file Meat Loaf under "L" for Mr. Loaf!

[Amyloves...]

Some recipes called for ketchup and some for tomato sauce. I had ketchup on hand so I used that and it was good. Sauce would def work pretty much the same.

NOTE: edited the recipe above cause I forgot to put the egg! Sorry.

[Amyloves...]

LOL neen....love that Mr. Loaf!

Last week I made a bacon, cheesburger meatloaf, David went nuts for it. Make a meatloaf any way you make it. Put half the the mixture in the pan & shape & put on a layer of cheddar cheese slices. Put the rest of the meat mixture on top & pinch edges to seal. Put bacon slices on top. They get crisp as meatloaf cooks. pretty good. (I like ketchip mixed with chipotle tabasco on top.)

[Amyloves...]

Sounds good Jenn....might have to give that a try.

I really think the most important thing is sauteeing the onion and bell pepper before mixing them in. That makes a huuuuuge difference.

[ibjamn]

agreed!

[ohio]

Yum! Sounds good Jenn! I mix a little sweet/hot BBQ sauce with the ketchup for on top. Mix a tad into the meat as well. Nothing beats a meatloaf sammich for lunch the next day!!!

[ibjamn]

I'm gonna try BBQ sauce mixed in with the meat next time. A BBQ bacon cheeseburger meatloaf! man o man, don't get that dish anywhere NEAR the diet & exercise thread! ;)

[eat_mo_crawfish]

I always like a bit of ground pork (oink, oink) in my loaf of meat, and you is right on Bry, the next day meatloaf sammich is da bomb.

[ozzie]

Try cooking the meatloaf about three quarters and then spreading a layer of mashed potato all over (not too sloppy now). Grate some tasty cheese over the top and finish it off in the oven... wait for it Scoop... blast it with some fan forced heat at the end and you have a nice crunchy, tasty crust on yer loaf!

[MzJoey]

and i don't even like ground meat...i'm eatin at your house!

[ohio]

I always like a bit of ground pork (oink, oink) in my loaf of meat, and you is right on Bry, the next day meatloaf sammich is da bomb.oh hell yeah, I thought that was a given. Our grocery used to sell a meatloaf pack- 1/2 pork & 1/2 beef.

[pokerchick66]

Yum! Sounds good Jenn! I mix a little sweet/hot BBQ sauce with the ketchup for on top. Mix a tad into the meat as well. Nothing beats a meatloaf sammich for lunch the next day!!!

Mine is 1/3 cup of ketchup, 2TB. apple cider vinegar, and 2 TB. brown sugar.

Now yall got me wanting meatloaf. I substituted diced water chestnuts for onions one time and it was pretty good. Now I use both. I also add some sage sausage to my ground meat mixture.

[Frosty]

So, have we decided if it's OK to call them Steely Dan or not?

LOL!!!

or maybe Mr. Dan?

I love your bacon cheeseburger recipe, but I think I'll try it with ground turkey and turkey bacon (as I don't eat red meat - except when I'm at Jazzfest, just can't help falling off the wagon with all dat incredible Fest food).

and I third sauteing the peppers and onions before mixing with the meat!!!
