It's "meatloaf season" at Haberman
Throughout your career, you've probably participated in (or smelled) an office chili cook off or "Crocktoberfest." But, we're willing to bet you've never hosted of a meatloaf-cooking competition. This month, Haberman is doing just that. Embracing the carnivorous camaraderie only a mashed heap of meat can provide, Haberman is on the brink of "Meatloaf Season."
Complete with a logo and a manifesto (which we're hoping they'll post, below, in the comment section) the friendly, intra-office competition is sure to instill an office-wide meat coma.
Do we spy a mustachioed nod to Movember in the logo? Yes. Yes we do.

Haberman Meatloaf Opener: A Manifesto
Minnesota is defined by seasons.
One season, in particular, cuts deeper into the psyche than the others.
It is the season of survival.
All beings prepare – squirrels with stores of nuts, bears with the final berries of the year, walleye and northern pike with yet another plump perch.
Humans, however, enjoy a distinct advantage.
We can prepare with meat loaf.
We can endure with meat loaf.
We can celebrate with meal loaf.
With meat loaf, we do not just survive the months of icy, wind torn darkness. Sustained by the noble loaf, we emerge in spring full bodied and stout with the big boned heft to till the soil once more and cultivate renewed prosperity.
Every season has an official beginning.
Winter and summer begin with a solstice. Spring and fall begin with an equinox.
Duck, deer, walleye, trout, wild rice and wild ginseng have openers.
Meat loaf is no exception.
Why do we not eat meat loaf in July? It’s not the season.
Were the Druids the first to mark the hyperborean cycle with the noble loaf?
Were the Vikings the culture of transmission that brought meat loaf to our shores?
Were voyageurs and lumberjacks their direct descendants?
Did Ma and Pa Ingalls gather the family at the table on the coldest days of winter to be nourished by the loaf?
We’ll never know, but what we do know is the 2011 Meat Loaf Opener is on November 1 at 12:30 p.m.
Haberman kitchen. Be there. Bring your best loaf to share with the tribe.
A sign up sheet for your contribution – meat loaf, sides, dessert, thirst quenching mead or Aber Gut – is up at the front desk by Stacy.
If you need to speak to the guru, that's Josh. For such a skinny guy, he embodies the essence of all things loaflicious
Remember, tribe, meat loaf is the reason your grandfather lived to pass on his genes.
Lift a fork.
