Been stuck inside for over a week now and starting to go loopy, but I'm just feeling well enough to cook something up. So, any suggestions? Em x

Mine is a bean and cheese burrito with a ton of hot sauce. But I get it at a taco shop, I don't make it myself.

How's the Mexican food in Wales? Cheesy

Meatloaf = Spam. What a horrible image!

Em, it's 2/3 lb. ground beef, 1/3 lb. ground pork, and handful of either breadcrumbs or oatmeal, an egg, ketchup, brown mustard, some onion, garlic, worcestershire sauce, and probably a few things I'm forgetting. Mix, shape into a loaf, put it in a bread pan, and roast it until it's done (about an hour). Use the dripping for gravy.

One word..........
ARTICHOKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They always put a smile on my face!
Emily, meatloaf, as made here, is ground round......kinda like a giant hamburger patty...with filler and seasoning and goes perfectly with mashed potatoes and spinach! Gil's fave comfort food, actually......unless it's sharp cheddar cheese macaroni, nice and creamy inside,with a big ole cheese crust on top.

Oh, and mushrooms make me smile, or(with a big dill pickle on the side) a turkey sammich from The Trident in Sausalito, CA, and, of course, cheesecake..did ya know cheesecake is like green m&m's-they make you.err.... amorous!!! Or, so I'm told......I wouldn't know firsthand.......... Shocked

I might give that a go with my mash and gravy later. I have some lamb instead of pork though. Mmmm... Thank you!

Believe it or not, Dad makes spicy hashbrowns that are to die (or get stabbed by a fork which has happened at my house) for. Cubed potatos cooked in butter or olive oil with onion, crushed red pepper, garlic, italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and Becky likes mushrooms in her's(yuck Smiley

). They are the BEST with a little ketchup on top. Just makes sure you like hot things or have a glass of milk with them though because they will make you sweat a little. Speaking of those yummy delights, Dad's making up a batch right now. Where's my fork? Grin

Emily, Marks and Sparks do quite a good meat loaf, but king of kings dinner has to be a good roast dinner with all the trimmings, it does not matter what meat you use you must have yorkshire Puds, stuffing at least two types of roasted veg and a varity of steamed veg, roast pototoes pre boiled, shaken in a little semolina then roasted till crisp and crunky and lashings of thick gravey.

or

Beans on toast with a fried egg on top, spread with loads of butter and marmite that is nearly as good as a roast
