Beer and Bacon Meatloaf, and curly hair.

First a run through of the meal. I had some lovely ground beef and a plan. I had about 4oz of bacon leftover in the fridge. I chopped it and slow simmered it to render out much of the fat without burning it. I scooped out all the bacon and drained it on a paper towel and then slowly carmelized some chopped onion in the bacon fat. I Placed the onions and bacon in a bowl and added some bread crumbs, an egg, some Worchestershire sauce, the meat, and some beer. I combined all that by hand, (remind me to clean my rings) and then made a loaf shape on a glass pan, covered the loaf with seasoned breadcrumbs and baked at 375F until an internal temperature of 165-170F was reached. Very, very good. You should try this!

D had been wearing her hair in a top knot for the last 2 days because she had a ballet recital on Thursday. (We were lucky she was feeling well enough to attend. I was afraid her cold would cancel our plans.) When I took her hair down for her bath, I was amazed at the volume of flowing curls. She looked stunning! (Remember now, Mommy has alopecia and anything to do with hair is a new learning experience for me!) I was sad to see her curls dissappear in her bath, so right before bed I put her hair in another top knot with some mousse and I'll leave it like that until we go out in public again.

She had gymnastics class this morning so the hairstyle was perfect. Later, she was practicing her hand stands on the sofa while watching TV with Daddy.
As for the alopecia, there's a movie out called, "HappyThankYouMorePlease" where one of the main characters has alopecia. It was a wonderful movie and hit the nail on the head. Everyone should see it.
