I have been on annual leave this week, I've done chores, a bit of mooching, a smidge of lolling and a wee bit of liggin'. Also, I have been cooking, I made a couple of vats of vegetable soup - which Mr Fink and Nelly both liked!! (can you see the shock on my face?) On Friday I made my first ever meatloaf.
It was ok-ish, a bit pale looking, I put that down to using a silicone loaf tin instead of a metal one?? Nelly and Mr Fink polished it off no bother so it can't have been as bad as all that - I'm a very reluctant cook as I seem to have more disasters than other people.
Anyway, earlier I was sharing the Glums brunch (I know the best times to visit my 'sista'!) and asked Mrs Glum (excellent cook) why my meatloaf was insipid looking? She asked what I put in it, I replied, "lean minced beef, carrot, celery, breadcrumb, eggs, onion, garlic, salt and pepper." Both Mrs Glum AND Marsha looked at me in horror and both chimed, "You mean you didn't put any sausagemeat in it???????????????"
Well, it's called 'meatloaf', not 'meat and sausage loaf' isn't it?
