Reader Patricia sent us this old food funny:

A newlywed husband comes home to find his wife in tears. "Goodness!
What's wrong, Honey?"

"It's awful ! I made a meat loaf for you. I got it out and set it on
top of the stove to check it, and the phone rang. When I came back
into the kitchen, I found that the cat had eaten the entire meat
loaf!"

"Aw, don't cry Honey. I'll get you a new cat in the morning."

This dish is unbelievably aromatic, and the flavor is sublime. Try
serving it with just about any chicken or fish dish.
