Pilgrims, Meatloaf and abundance

- Mr C's says, "Pilgrims loved meatloaf and trivia." Doubtful. :) Just for the heck of it, I typed in "origin of meatloaf" into the Bing search engine and the answer seems to be that it is just a large meatball that Italian immigrants came up with to save time or it is a product of the Depression, when people needed to save money by stretching meat.

- The first time I misspelled the word origin and typed "origen", with an "e" - the number one listing was a Spanish version of a performance of the singer Meatloaf on YouTube. :)

- A lovely pre-Thanksgiving lunch at the printing company, with an abundant table. I made friend Bev's crockpot corn. It was a hit! Here's the recipe in case you need a quick and easy side dish any time:

Crockpot Creamed Corn

2 (16-oz) packages frozen corn
1 (8-oz) package cream cheese
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup milk
1 tablespoon white sugar
Salt and pepper

Melt butter and cream cheese, mix in milk, sugar and salt and pepper. Pour over frozen corn in crockpot and mix together.

Cook on High 2-4 hours or on Low for 4-6 hours.
