I’m a sucker for some meatloaf. Dress it all up Buffalo-style and this comfort food is to die for. The little potato stacks are as cute as they are easy. They add a touch of elegance to the homey meatloaf.

“In Circles” is new from London-based band TALMA.

I absolutely adore the retro feel of the song. And my knees go absolutely weak when singer Henry Adams’ croons that hook that cooks.

“It wakes me up
when I try to sleep”

Check out TALMA on the band’s Website where you can learn of an upcoming show in London and get their music.

Cheers!
