Haven't felt like sharing much, plain and simple. I've tried to keep up with you all; but as most of you know, that hasn't worked either.
Such is life.
Too much craziness in the world.
Anyway. We are mostly over our colds, but they keep hanging on.
Hubby went to the dentist Thursday. A few weeks ago, he broke a tooth on an ice cream cone! A plain, old fashioned ice cream cone. I still don't understand that one; but he did. It caused the tooth next to it to break, too. The reason is he has a partial upper denture plate and these were the teeth that held it in place.
As you know, he just recently got a pacemaker. Going to the dentist is now an adventure that his cardiologist has to approve. For a while he made do without and was doing well. But he could tell he was starting to get an infection. Very not good. So after many antibiotics, Thursday he saw an Oral Surgeon, to be more specific. That dentist removed the two broken teeth and did the required root canals. Now hubby has another weeks worth of antibiotics to be sure this does not affect his pacemaker.
I don't worry. Much. I pray a lot though.
It's pecan season. As soon as the dew dries, I need to get out there and get busy. No side tracks today. Got rain coming later in the week. They're forty cents a pound right now. Every little bit helps.
Not feeling the holidays. More anxious and annoyed than anything.
Well
Wayne, I surprised myself and made a meatloaf. As I posted
here (ages ago, I know, sorry); that my brother gave me our Granny's cookbook. I thought the first thing might be to try baking bread with it; but I barely have time to make jerky. And anyone who knows us, knows how much I (my family, more to the point!) like making jerky. Heck, we just went fishing for the first time in over six months. I actually can't remember. Last year sometime.
But I sidetrack, sorry.
Anyway, I found a meatloaf recipe. This one.
I substituted mushroom soup for the vegetable soup; because mushroom soup is like bacon for hubby. And we didn't have any corn flakes, so I used Chicken-in-a-biscuit crackers as that was the only crackers I had. (Hubby and youngest boy like those, too.)
Here it is in the pan. Hubby's artwork.

I like the meatloaf more domed, he likes it more loaf. At any rate, it turned out great! Very flavorful. A bit crumbly, as the bottom was a little too moist. I should have used more crumbs maybe. We will definitely try it again. Oh, I left out the salt and pepper. Everyone seasons as they like. And I didn't baste it, either.
I
did remember a picture before it all got eaten.
We haven't been able to find anyone to work on the roof for us, so we need to get another tarp back up there. Looks like a few days of rain coming next week, if the weatherman is right.
I'll try to post more often, but no promises. You all know how that goes. Take care and have a blessed Sunday. ♥
