Smell-O-Vision

There's that magical moment. That delicious instant in every cook's life. That particular second when your entire apartment or house smells like what you created.

It's meatloaf. Classic 2/3 beef and 1/3 pork. Half sauteed onion, carrot, celery, and garlic and half is fresh (minus garlic). A little surprise of Swiss and cheddar in the center. Oregano and basil. Bread crumbs. Glaze is tomato paste, BBQ sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce.

And my whole damn apartment smells like it.

Let me tell you, in a small apartment like mine, that's a LOT of beefy, porky, loafy goodness.
