I’m posting this as something of a reminder to a later Me who peruses the journal archives at random, possibly searching for entries on the topic of food.

Hey, Me: When you think about what a neat idea meatloaf is in principle, try to keep in mind the old axiom that “In theory, there’s no difference between theory and practice, but in practice there is.” The theory behind meatloaf sounds appealing, but in practice it’s almost always underwhelming.

Keep this in mind when shopping in the future, won’t you? Your taste buds and digestive tract thank you in advance.
