meat loaf
Next time you make meat loaf, make it your regular way, put half mixture in loaf pan, take a can of green chilies....put pieces of pepper-jack cheese in each chile and close them. Add top layer of mixture, cook as you usually do. You'll love it!

Stove Top Dressing Meat loaf
with home made smashed potatoes, gravy and brussel sprouts....tomorrow night, sketti and meatballs, made with the extra Stove Top mixture.
I just make like a meat loaf mixture with egg, cracker crumbs, salt, pepper, egg and milk. SM
Form into patties, cook with some chopped or sliced onions, then add an envelope of gravy mix and water, cook a few minutes. Easy, you can add other stuff or use canned gravy. Enjoy!

Been there - could not even afford a loaf of bread once sm
I mean really had not a penny for 2 weeks. We just emptied the cabinets and whatever was in there, we made do. Personally, I know what a terrible feeling that is, downright awful! Remember there is always light at the end of the tunnel. If you have anyone close to you who can help you out - that is one thing, but if not - you will have to make do with what you have.
Try the really cheap stores - the ones where usually you wouldn't even look at before. They have great deals, like Aldi, or the dollar stores, the outlet stores like Wonder, Hostess, etc.
I have to say that experience has humbled me and my family significantly.
Good luck - things will work out. Sometimes, we get wake up calls, and this might be yours. I think I have had quite a few already.
Gravy train?
I wouldn't call it ever being a gravy train. We are highly trained professionals who work hard at what we do and we do it darn good, thank you very much. It's not like we sat here eating our bon bons and getting upset because the banging away at the keyboard ruined our new manicure! To say it was a gravy train is downright insulting, IMO.
That said, I don't have 30+ years in this profession but I do have 15+ years including working in-house and remotely from home. My first at-home was around 1997 for a small company doing straight transcription, none of this VR stuff, which lasted only about 4 months until the work dried up. The pay was good while it lasted though and there was 24 TAT, no punching a time clock and sticking to a strict schedule. As long as the work got down within 24 hours it was fine. That same company is still around today as a national but not huge like others out there. I ended up having to go back in-house and was there until about 4 years ago when I signed on with a very well known national that screws people to the Q, if you get my drift. I don't know when the MT biz as a whole went into the toilet, but up until 2 years ago I had no problem. I was working hard all the time as work was available basically 24/7. Never did I get NJA except for an occasional week or two around the holidays but very quickly the workload would start to pick up. I had a GREAT supervisor who made working fun and made us feel like we were a real team. The company always had bonus incentives with quirky little games. It may sound corny but it actually made us feel valued and brought some fun into it while making good money at the same time. Then about 2 years ago, things started changing for the worst and it's been going downhill FAST every since. Maybe the offshoring and technological advances have something to do with it, I really don't know. One thing I do know, I DO NOT advise anybody new starting in this profession now. What once was a professional and lucrative career has basically been made into a sweat shop scam for the so called "training programs" and large nationals to make a nice profit at the expense of the MTs. It is such a cut throat business with accounts going to the lowest bidder just to save a few bucks. I only hope that things will turn around some day soon and MT can be the professional career it once used to be.
Please don't say it was a gravy train. Thank you.
i didn't say the reduction was gravy
i said what you have been getting up til now IS gravy -- you've been paid high-dollar for ASR when you don't have to do anything but edit.
Just ate some B&G that DD made, except I like my gravy on toast. nm

I have gravy accounts, but I still plan to get out.
I have my own accounts, 14 cpl, and average 300 lph - or more. You do the math. Great $$, but I am tired of typing. And I am tired of the lack of the respect MTs get. And I am tired of the not so great MTs that make all of us look bad. And I am sick of the wages being driven down because of big MT companies wanting to pay 7 or 8 cpl and make a big profit for themselves. And I am sick of the companies sending work overseas.
Steak and gravy recipe...sm
I have eye of round and want to make a steak and gravy dish!!!!!!!!! Any recipes? I have never made this before and I am not good with cooking meat, mine is always tough as shoe leather. What is the secret to tender meat?
What exactly is YOUR beef??
 There's been plenty of people here who said they liked her house, and you're complaining about that. Then you're complaining about the people who don't like her house! Why don't you GET A LIFE?

crockpot chicken/gravy over rice
Brown up chicken breasts and put in crockpot. pour mixture of Cream of chicken soup,dried onion,parsley and 1/2 can water over the top. cook on low all afternoon and serve over rice.
buffer bites, taters and gravy with
broccoli and cheeze ... (bite = cut up buffalo roast into little bites and fry them up)
roast beef
I have found the less water you use in the crock pot the better off the roast will be. It makes moisture of its own. I usually just add about 1/4 cup of robust red wine, some seasonings and let it go.
Beef in Wine
Brown roast.
In separate pot cook two onions, two cloves garlic, two stalks celery,chopped, two carrots, in butter until soft. Add to meat. Mix 2 cups of tomato puree and 2 cups red wine. Add a tablespoon of salt, 10 whole peppercorns, 2 bay leaves. Cook on top of stove until tender, about 3 to 4 hours. Do the day before. The next day clean up the meat and slice it. Serve over noodles. It is delicious.

To really beef up your expander... sm
read the ShortHand and Instant Text boards at Productivity Talk at http://www.productivitytalk.com/forums/index.php. A lot of the techniques can work in other Expanders as well.

Beef about account managers
I'll say right off which company I'm talking about, it's DTS out of TN. I'm not mad, just at the point of head banging. I'd really like to know what it is that some account managers do and where they get them. I transcribe on several accounts and without fail, not one of them seems to know anything about the account. One particular one, "GK", I'll email with a question and IF she answers back, it will be somebody else's question, an "I don't know" or "where did you read that" (well DUH I read it in the account instructions). You get doctor lists that came out before modern medicine was invented and after requesting new ones 10-20 times, you just give up (some you can't get online). Then you get emails if you leave a blank for a doctor or feedback from QA that they can't find them either. Two accounts are GONE just this month, wonder if this has anything to do with it?

Eat less meat or no meat
Lots of beans, tofu shakes, whole-grain cereals, rice and breads, green and other veggies. Meat is expensive, especially if you're feeding several. Cut back on carbonated drinks, also not good for you..
meat is not for me
I have been a vegetarian since 1979. I did it for ethical reasons and because I dont eat anything that had a face. The smell and look of meat makes me sick to my stomach.
meat
Not sure about the changes to the factory farming, but the changes most anti-factory farming people want is to get people to eliminate meat from their diet, thus ending the need for these farms. Each person doing their small part, makes a big difference in the long run. I was a big carnivore, cannot believe I am a vegitarian now, still lots and lots of food to eat, a little limited when dining out, but not really, even the restaurants are catering to the vegitarians more and more each day. Give it a try, you won't regret it.
Unfortunately, this guy had a nervous breakdown and that gravy train came to screeching halt!

and dog is labeled beef in the chow mein
Do you think it was a round-up because of rabies or at the restaurants, markets, etc., they were having a shortage of "beef?"
I have an aunt in Arizona who had a lot of cats in her neighborhood that kept disappearing too and found out about 2 blocks away at a restaurant, they were the House Special. lol
Personally, I like beef, but if I ever went to see the process of rounding up the cows and how they are committing mass murder of them, I would probably never eat beef again. Strange world all over. Take Care and keep your dogs inside. :)
Meat in your diet?
That is a misconception that we need meat in our diets, we do not need meat at all, there are many other sources of protein out there to substitute for the meat, please go to the many vegitarian sites for more information.
it is not wrong to eat meat
and that comes from God's own word. It is not unhealthy either, done in moderation. Our ways of growing or cooking the meat may be unhealthy, no doubt esp combined with lack of exercise. and yes, it is wrong to be cruel to animals. Much of our problem is based on mass production, which is now the 'norm'. We have all but eliminated the small farms in favor of this mass production. Small farms don't need to have cesspools of waste, they don't stink and the animals live a natural pleasant life as intended. But when we go to using feedlots, and finish the beef out, for example, with grain, which is unnatural to their digestive system (starting the grain has to be done methodically and gradually or it kills them), we create different physical reactions in the meat which I believe has caused ill health in humans (along with the unnecessary vetting). Yes, the chicken farms and slaughter houses etc are managed terribly, nasty and mostly with inhumane operations. How to avoid this and still eat meat? Seek out those who raise range-fed chickens (a natural environment), or raise beef that are not given growth hormones or unnecessary routine antibiotics. You will never have mad cow disease for example on purely grass-fed beef. These growers are around. I have a nephew in MO who offers this alternative. We ourselves used to offer such in the way of chicken -- these "natural farmers" generally struggle to make a living, but if you want healthy meat, want an alternative to mass production, seek them out.
Yuck, I don't eat red meat, but (sm)
do eat some chicken for more protein. Also eat lots of fruit with cottage cheese and lots of green, leafy vegetables. Also, a way to get more protein is nuts, like cashews or almonds and feta cheese with your salads.
For lunch today is pasta with some cheese biscuits with garlic salt, also a green salad with feta cheese. Melons with cottage cheese for a snack. No meat at all and I don't miss it! You get used to it. 
fried
so what happens if we all go back to MTs, then they lose all the ME. I think we should all rebel and tell them to take us off
I'm having a homemade roast beef sub and chips for lunch.
DH can probably BBQ hot dogs and burgers for dinner because I don't feel like cooking.
Dinner help! I have a beef round rump roast.. help!
 any interesting ideas?
