Lizzie Borden's Meatloaf Recipe
Lizzie’s meat loaf
1 lb. steak
1/2 lb. pork steak
1 egg
1 small onion
3 soda crackers
herbs
salt and pepper
Grease tin. Cover loaf well with hot water and bake about one hour.
(This recipe might be best left to the experienced, adventurous cook! Obviously, the meat must be ground to make Lizzie’s meatloaf, and all ingredients mixed together. As for oven temperature and cooking time, I would try approximately 350 or 400 degrees. The water used in this recipe produces a steamed loaf. The soda crisps used, I would suspect, are today’s saltine crackers, but wonder if they were sold in sheets then, since three doesn’t seem to be enough for 1-1/2 pounds of meat. I wouldn’t cover the loaf since it may boil for too long without evaporation, but I would keep an eye on it and be wary of water boiling over into the oven. Best of luck with this one!)
you know..... maybe we'll have a little silo in the woods....How many of Y'ALL would live in this old silo ?
there's a silo B&B in Missouri I thought about sending Mom & Dad to for their 50th....but it was a drive. I would love to check it out sometime!

Ohio Bigfoot Conference
10 Haunted Streets In Missouri...I hereby vow to one day take 10 days (and nights!) to travel to these haunted roads...and take naps and sightsee in the daytime as well!
Independence: Noland Road is said to be haunted by a ghostly lady wearing gray with short gray hair. Sightings are especially frequent near the Woodlawn Cemetery.
Phelps Grove Park in Springfield is known to be haunted by a ghost known as the Bride under the Bridge. According to local legend, a just-married couple lost control of their car at that location, killing them both. Evenings under the park’s third bridge, the bride can be seen holding the hem of her gown, with darkness in place of her face.
9 Mile Bridge, Auxvasse Known for being a bridge where black women were once hung and slave children were drowned in the creek below. If you stop your car on the bridge, it is said that it may not start right up again, or if it does, it will be making funny noises. If you sit on the bridge and dangle your legs, you might feel a strange tickling sensation on your feet. Blinking lights that look like eyes have been seen under the bridge and in the surrounding trees, and if you leave your car you might come back to footprints around it and hand prints on the car itself.
Animal Safari Road, Branson Cold chills at night on this road are said to be caused by the ghosts of a wagon train in the past on which many people were killed.
Old Coalmine Road, Brookfield A man found on this road who had been deemed a suicide, later concluded due to the location of the bullet wounds that he had been murdered. Another occasion had some teenage kids who found a trash bag full of hound dogs as well as some all over the road and some shot gun shells. Apparently, the dogs had been kidnapped from a nearby home, let loose and shot. However, the kids didn’t see any of this happening on the way to their fishing location, and did not hear any of the shots being fired. The strange thing is that these two cases, though ten years apart were from a shotgun of the same gauge based on the shells. The ghost of a miner who had died in a cave in also apparently haunts the nearby mine shafts and if upon going into the mine you survive the gases, you will be hunted down by the host of the miner. Some believe all of these to be related.
Highway Old 213 Higginsville Around ten years ago, a young woman ran off the road into a light pole. At this location, apparently with a highway sign across the street, if you stop your car under it the light will go off, then back on again when you move forward. If you sit at the spot long enough, you might see the figure of the woman on the side of the road, and she may walk towards your window. 
Avilla is well known for being a haunted place. The Shadow Folk haunt the old abandoned part of this historic village along Route 66. They appear as shadows and can be seen walking along the street and going about daily business, usually from the corner of your eye. In addition, the Avilla Death Tree is said to be haunted by a Civil War-era bushwhacker named Rotten Johnny Reb. It is unknown exactly which tree it is, but it is said to be haunted by the headless ghost looking not only for his head, but also vengeance.
Upper Blackwell Road, Blackwell Besides possible Satanism at a restaurant located there, many disappearances have also been reported. Also, on a bridge called Black Tram, if you drive over and flash your lights three times a ghost car will chase you away. A sign disappears upon approach and a couple might wave you down for a ride and then disappear when you slow down.
Noland Road, Branson After driving down this road off Sycamore Church road and 248 Highway near Branson, people have experienced imprints of saddle blankets and hand prints in the dust on the back of their car.
Route 36 Marceline On an old railroad bridge that crosses Rt 36 near Marceline, witnesses have spotted a misty white apparition hovering above the road, under the bridge or above the bridge. It sometimes will disappear before you get to it, but many have claimed to have driven right through it.

Frenchmen Hotel October 12 · From reynomd of Billings, MT: “Great little place” 5 of 5 stars This hotel on the end of Frenchmen street very close to the clubs. You will be able to hear music. Our room could hear music from one club which made it sound like music not noise. Room was small but with character. I would come back.
