Clouds ~ Heat ~ Thunder ~ Baby Turkeys ~ Slow Cooker Meatloaf Parmesan ~ Animal Friends ~ Bears ~ Chief Outlaw ~ Rice Pudding


Good 65º scattered cloudy morning.

Yesterday it stayed very smokey again. Warmed to 103º. Then by early evening we had a thunderstorm pass over. No rain. No lightening. Just lots of rumbling!


Earlier I was going to go out back and turn on the rainbird, but momma turkey and her babies were out there by the water tubs..... and eating the cracked corn I put out for the birds.... Hard to get good pictures sideways through a window!



Try this easy, keeping the house cool, meatloaf:

  Slow Cooker Meatloaf Parmesan


2 1/4 pounds lean ground beef
15oz pizza sauce, divided
2 T dried minced onion
2 t minced garlic (or use freeze dried)
1/2 cup fresh bell pepper, chopped
1½ t. Italian seasoning
3/4 cup shredded Parmesan
2 eggs
salt and pepper to taste
1½ cups shredded Mozzarella

1. In large bowl mix together 1 cup of the pizza sauce with the meat, onion, garlic, peppers, Parmesan, eggs, and seasonings.
2. Spray 6 or 7 quart slow cooker with cooking spray and pat meat down into crock, making sure the center is pressed down more than the edges.
3. Cover and cook on high 2 hours
4. With a spatula push the extra oil off the top of the meatloaf to the sides.
5. Pour remaining pizza sauce on the top of the meatloaf and top with cheese.
6. Cover and cook a few more minutes until cheese melts.
Use lean ground beef because the meat will shrink up and the fat will pool around the outside of the loaf. If you use higher fat beef the loaf will be a lot smaller and you will have a lot more excess oil around the outside.

Picture of the day... strange animal friends... 



And speaking of animals...
here is a bear momma with quintuplets, which is certainly not the norm!  
And mom and babies a few months later....



Later watching the news they said Portland had a new Police Chief. She came from Oakland Ca and was Assistant Chief there. Her name is what is wayyyyy too funny, Danielle Outlaw! Good grief!
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Hump Day. Ciao.
