Saturday Beefcake

For more than a few years Jack Scalia has provided fuel for much fantasy life. All My Children made a mighty mistake letting him go, although according to imdb.com it seems that he has been busy. This shot is from his Dallas days. It's been said that Rock Hudson was smitten with him. So who wouldn't be smitten with a guy who speaks both Spanish and Italian? Remember the Devlin Connection?

Anna Muffoletto's recipe for Polpettone, although not 100% beef seems approriate here, because it's mighty meaty.

1 small eggplant
olive oil (150 ml)
500 gr ground beef
250 gr ground pork
250 gr ground veal
bread crumbs 200 gr or so
parmigiano -- grated 100 gr or so
minced medium onion
3 eggs
salt and ground black pepper

Skin and dice the eggplant plant salt it and let it drain for about 20 minutes. Rinse, drain and dry and then saute with the olive oil and then set it aside.

Combine the remaining ingredients, add the eggplant. Then pour into an oiled loaf pan and bake for about 90 minutes at 350 degrees fahrenheit.
