[QUOTE="'Chelle, post: 153813, member: 1161"] Meatloaf, I find, is a very personal thing for taste, and usually nothing is ever like mom's (or whoever's meatloaf you tasted and liked first). I like the idea of going over the recipe with her and figuring out what about it she didn't like. Maybe it was the oregano in it she didn't like. Getting the recipe of the one she did like is a great idea, and then you can go over the two for differences and decide why she didn't like the one she made. It would be a good lesson for cooking, where you can show how you can add or take away spices/herbs and make a recipe more to your own tastes. That's the bad thing about asking my mom about cooking. Like my grandmother, she never measures anything. Just adds what looks about right for taste. I do the same for a lot of things, my spaghetti sauce never tastes exactly the same as I don't measure. I know I feel bad when I try a recipe and it doesn't quite turn out as tasty as I thought it would. Made chicken & dumplings from a recipe not too long ago, and while it was ok I wouldn't make it again (dumplings were great, didn't like some of the herbs in the chicken part). Sorry she let it get her so upset. Just let her know it happens to the best of cooks too. It's all a learning process in what you like for flavors. [/QUOTE]
