(#151) Snoop Dogg - Doggy Style

24 years on this holds up musically, Snoop sounds fresh and smooth, but his braggy, vulgar -- 50/50 funny-vulgar/offensive-even-today-vulgar -- lyrics often get in the way of Dr. Dre's top-notch G-funk production. This track has them both running on all cylinders:

No coffee yet. I have developed a coffee dependency.

Last week, I went a full day without caffeine kinda by accident. Surprisingly, I had no adverse effects that day. It was weird.

That's a really good theory, but in my experience it creates unpleasantly greasy stuff in your meatloaf that the panko is sadly inadequate to address, and egg creates a meatloaf texture issue. I would suggest no egg, and mixing very sharp cheddar or some other nice cheese like a gruyere into the whole meatloaf, and adding about 1/3 cup uncooked rice or barley to soak up juices. Barring that, crushed saltines or Ritz/Club crackers work better than panko or bread crumbs. IMO meatloaf absolutely needs at minimum a few tsp chopped garlic, and preferably a chopped, sauteed banana/poblano/anaheim pepper or a heavily drained small tin of precooked green chilies or a spoon of minced adobo peppers in their sauce for flavor. Also needs a liberal sprinkling of onion powder, two tsp Worcestershire sauce, mustard powder or squirt of mustard, and if you're using mild peppers add a drizzle of A-1. Use a loaf pan. Squirt the ketchup and a little hot sauce on top - what is this "dirty a brush" business? Slap the bacon on that. I make really good meatloaf so I am not speaking idly here; it's one of those things. Another something good, on a different route, would be adding a half-cup of peas and half cup of mashed potatoes to the meat (add onion powder, garlic, Worcester, mustard powder, and banana or mild sauteed pepper), and mix the ketchup or tomato paste straight in. That one is good with gravy and good cold the next day. The cheesy one is not so great for cold meatloaf sandwich.

Also I object to adding brown sugar to meatloaf. You want the Worcestershire sauce thing, the mustard, garlicky umami thing, not a sweet thing! Ketchup is already super sweet.
