Mish-Mash Meatloaf

I don't know what it is, but it was good with steamed rice and stir-fried napa cabbage. I wish I had a recipe, but I don't. It's a meat and vegetable loaf with a Vietnamese twist, but not quite like those pork patties you sometimes get with a Vietnamese rice plate.

Fine, I confess, it's the equivalent of a leftover casserole. I mashed together a carrot, some spinach, a portabello mushroom, some wood ear mushrooms, a pound of ground pork, three eggs, some matzoh meal (!), and a lot of nuoc cham (fish sauce with garlic, chili, and lime juice). Then I poured it into a loaf pan and baked at 375 for an hour, cooled it a little, sliced it up, and called it dinner. Surprigingly good, and Mr. I Love Meatballs enjoyed it.

Lunch was Kraft American cheese and chopped ham on buttered potato bread. Who says I'm a yuppity eater? Today was strictly blue collar eats.
