Over the course of Project Recipe, I've produced a lot of organic waste. I should be composting—I've known that all along. So what's the hold up? I live in an apartment. One that is devoid of outdoor space.

What meatloaf is to Americans, pâté de campagne—a sublime mixture of pork and bacon—is to the French. The two merged during, of all things, a trip to a Dallas beauty parlor, and the result is one unforgettable recipe.
