In recognition of yesterday's Thanksgiving celebrations I made an American style dinner last night, Meatloaf. A recipe given to me about 30 years ago which I adored but have not made in the last 20 for some reason. It seemed as good a time as any to resurrect it.
It was every bit as yummy as I remembered. WH loved it too although for the stated reason that it tasted like faggots! I served it with barbecued cabbage and mashed potatoes and the whole combo was divine although WH wasn't so keen on the cabbage which comes in a tomato laden sauce that is just perfect over the meatloaf.
They're both a cinch to make.

Serve with mashed potatoes; comfort food at it's best.
Oh and the meatloaf is good cold too, just how WH likes faggots.

Hi Jas:
Am I missing a 'how to' here? Can't find the recipe anywhere, it looks yummy. I collect recipes and try out interesting ones. This is like being allowed to look but don't eat. (grin).
Strange, the recipes are at the bottom of the post. Try refreshing your page, there should be a picture and about 6 paragraphs.
Jas, the only thing on my computer is a black line under the picture, very strange.
