I've been grounded at home since December 28th after first hip replacement ended up with a fractured femur resulting in a second replacement January 28th. Wanted to cook something that didn't require a lot of babysitting. Came up with Smoked Meatloaf and Poblano Cream Corn using Melissa Cookston's recipe.

Used 2 pounds of Grass Fed Lowline Angus hamburger from my buddy Tom's ranch. 1 pound of HEB hot breakfast sausage. Diced up purple onion and celery, and added a cup of Panko bread crumbs. Seasoned with Oakridge SPOGOS and mixed it together. Put in foil pan and put in the refrigerator for a couple of hours.

Got the egg clone settled on 275F and put the meat on. At the one hour point I glazed with a generous amount of Yes Dear Red Sauce. Pulled at 165 IT and let it rest awhile.

For the corn I followed Melissa's recipe and hoped I didn't screw it up.

My in-house food critic liked the results.

Looks excellent Randy! I love corn, will check out the recipe. Thanks for posting!
 
You pick up that Shirley yet?

Unfortunately no. It's still safely tucked away in my son-in-law's garage. Hopefully when I go back to the doctor next Tuesday he'll let me get rid of the dang walker. Even more frustrating is Indycar testing is here next Tuesday and there's no way I could walk the garages and track all day. As soon as they'll let me drive I'm heading up to get the Shirley. I have a SRF brisket in the freezer waiting on it.
 
Hang in there, Randy.

That recovery is no joke. My Dad had x 2, and he didn't have complications.

You sure did well with stuff that doesn't take a whole lot of baby-sitting.
 
Wife had it done less than a year ago and is like a teenager again. Great looking cook!

I was doing great until I tried crossing my leg and the stem twisted in the femur. Second surgery put in a new stem and I have two metal bands around the top of the femur to hold it together. More fun than I planned on.

Time to move on to more fun stuff like cooking on my new Shirley 24x36. But it'll heal and I'll be good. Thankful that this is biggest problem I have. Plenty of others out there who aren't so fortunate.
