Healthified Meatloaf
Warning: Spoiler ahead!
We are so happy that Top Chef is back on TV, and this week, the episode was one of our favorite challenges: update and healthify a classic comfort food.
I love comfort food. Well, duh, right? Why else would they call it comfort food if average Americans didn’t love it?

Nail. Coffin. Bye-bye Brown v Board of Ed.
My earliest memory of lobbying was during the summer before 4th grade.

Stomp!
Updated: YouTube does very irritating things to my blog. I blame them for the strange extra slash-marks that I can’t managed to edit out.
Noah enjoys the stomping. And mommy\’s hat. Here are 3 very short video clips. (The 3rd one is the funniest, all are under 10 seconds.)
