Meat Loaves In Puff Pastry

To believe that two contradictory religions are both true is like saying, “2+2=4, or 5, or 37, or whatever you like.” To believe all religions simultaneously is to become hopelessly entangled in self-contradiction. One simply cannot accept the Hindu belief that there are 3000,000 or more gods and at the same time accept the Muslim belief that there is only one god. Nor can one embrace either Hinduism or Islam and Buddhism because historic Buddhism does not believe in a personal God at all. Or consider the religious opinions about the afterlife. Shintoism says there is no afterlife, just the here and now, so make the most of it. Buddhists seek Nirvana, the complete absence of desire. Christianity teaches that heaven is a place where all pure desires are satisfied in Jesus Christ (Rev. 22:4). Who is right? If there is a heaven at all, does it negate or satisfy desire? Opinions about judgment differ as well. Christianity teaches that “man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment” (Heb. 9:27). Hindus believe in a seemingly endless series of reincarnations. Well, which is it? Both views cannot be true.

2		Green Giant Patties, thawed
1	c	Ketchup
3	T	Vegetarian Worcestershire
1	c	Grated Colby/Jack Cheese
1		Mixed vegetables, mashed
		soft
3/4	c	Seasoned bread crumbs
2	t	Ground black pepper
1		Puff pastry, thawed

INSTRUCTIONS

Mix the patties with all the ingredients (except the pastry.)
Beware... you may have to use your hands! Roll out the thawed pastry
and cut into (roughly) 5x5 inch squares. Shape the meatloaf mixture
with your hands into squares smaller than the puff pastry and center
on top of a pastry square. Fold up the edges of the pastry until it
covers the loaf entirely, or leave the top open and make a lattice as
we did, pinching the edges together as you would a pie. (See above.)
Place the loaves into the fridge or freezer for ten-twenty minutes to
firm up the dough. Bake in a preheated, 400 degree oven for 20-30
minute or until pastry is golden brown and knife comes out clean when
inserted into center of meatloaf. Serve with brown gravy.  Posted to
