Oddities...

Quite possibly I'm not being fair. You be the judge...

Juicy Meatloaf from "Another Taste of Aloha; recipes from the Junior League of Hawaii"
2 lbs. lean ground beef
1 egg
1 cup carrots, grated
1 cup potatoes, grated
1/2 cup cooked white rice
1/4 cup onions, chopped
2 T steak sauce
1 teas. ground pepper
1 8 oz. can tomato sauce

Preheat oven to 350, mix everything together but the tomato sauce which is to be spread out over the top of the meatloaf. Bake for 60 minutes and cut into 1 in. slices.

I have noted that Hawaiian restaurants like to serve their starches... rice AND macaroni salad with a sandwichor meat course. Maybe it makes sense to put the potatoes in the meatloaf; saves having to make mashed for a side?

Mediterranean Carrot Salad from "Relish" a Daily Breeze Wednesday supplement
1/2 lb. carrots, peeled and grated
2 T extra-virgin olive oil
2 T fresh lemon juice
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 T chopped fresh mint

Combine and toss, chill before serving. Serves four.

Okay, olive oil is better for you than mayonnaise, but ...mint?
