Meatloaf is one of those foods I remember so distinctly eating as a kid. When I heard about National Meatloaf Appreciation Day, I realized I had completely neglected it for the past 12 years!     beautiful, isn't it?     Shame on me, because meatloaf is still one of America's greatest comfort foods.
