    Good to see you back posting. Even if my first thought on seeing
    the title of this recipe was that we'd be cruising to "Gay Bay". Bv)=

    Thanks! Here's a recipe with a gay title.

    Title: A Very Gay Meat Loaf
    Categories: Meatloaf, Pork
    Yield: 1 Meatloaf

    5 lb Ground pork and veal; or
    - pork, veal, and beef in
    - equal amounts
    1 Bottle chili sauce
    2 c Sour cream
    Salt
    Pepper
    Nutmeg
    Summer savory
    4 pk Fresh spinach
    3 c Fresh mushrooms; quartered
    - (optional) -OR-
    1 Additional pkg fresh spinach
    6 Eggs; up to 8; hard boiled
    - (optional)
    Bacon slices; (optional)

    Mix chili sauce, sour cream, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and summer savory
    in with the meat.

    Have ready a large pot (the biggest you own) of boiling water with 1
    tb salt added per qt of water. Take the fresh spinach, which you have
    washed well, and cut the stems off (the stems can be boiled and
    chopped and added to the meat, saved for making soup, or thrown
    away). Put handfulls of the spinach in a strainer or collander and
    dip for 5 seconds in the boiling water. Each time put the dipped
    spinach aside and repeat the process until all the spinach ahs been
    dipped. Toss the spinach (and mushrooms) after having wrung out the
    water into the meat. Do not overmix and do not try to get the spinach
    evenly mixed into the meat--there should be pockets of spinach in the
    meat.

    Put the mixture into a huge broiling pan (disposable aluminum is
    fine) or several smaller ones. Leave space for the melted fat.
    (Insert boiled eggs gently into the mixture and cover them with it.)
    Spread this with a thin coat of sour cream.

    You can cover the surface with bacon slices if desired.

    Bake at 350°F for about 1 hour; test done-ness by sticking a fork in.
    During baking, spill out the melted fat which the store included in
    your meat. Boiled carrots are a good side dish.
