Organizing your wardrobe and making Halloween decorations sounds like a thoroughly fantastic way to take advantage of some of your time off (those are two of my favourite things to do as well). I hope that you have a fantastic break and that the weather doesn't get to bitingly cold this month. <br /><br />How wonderful that your husband is your favourite cook. That made me smile so much to read. Aww!!! It's definitely a smart idea and a great way to make a bit of meat go further (something, I would argue, that our foremothers and fathers excelled at). I really hope that you guys adore this tasty dish if you give it a spin. <br /><br />That's really exciting regarding the flea market. I absolutely, hands down, no questions asked adore selling in person, so my eyes lit up when I read that you'll be doing over the next couple of weeks. I'm wishing you endless luck and wish I lived in your town so that we could either each have tables there and/or I could come shop from yours. <br /><br />Wishing you and your family all a fantastic October!<br /><br />Tons of hugs,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-34999952711538541492016-10-08T08:45:31.009-07:002016-10-08T08:45:31.009-07:00I have to show this to DH, who is my favourite coo...I have to show this to DH, who is my favourite cook. When I see the recipe I cannot help thinking why we ever have thought of that! Such a delicious and brilliant idea, right to my vintage recipe Pinterest board it goes. In Denmark it has gotten seriously cold all of a sudden, so I've started longing for soups and other traditional cold weather comfort food again.<br /><br />I've got a week vacation now, yeehaa! I've spent today making Halloween decor for son, shuffling my summer/winter wardrobe and thousand shoes, sigh. Hard work, and each time I remind myself that I don't need more dresses nor shoes, haha. <br /><br />Tomorrow I have hired son to be the muscles and help me setting up my flea supermarket for the coming two weeks. Wish me luck. I hope to sell most of it, both to get rid of it but also to earn a little extra. His lovely girlfriend has said she wanted to help too, so I will invite them out to dinner afterwards. Just the three of us, since DH is abroad bicycling. Have a lovely weekend, dear. :)SANNEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12973437247117000140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-19474484397976182982016-10-07T20:54:36.692-07:002016-10-07T20:54:36.692-07:00Thanks, hon!

I think that,...That is a bit of a mystery for sure. I think that, in North America at least, that perception arose from a few different sources, such as their prevalence at school cafeterias, the fact that they were often made in many homes when money was tight and a pound or two of beef could be stretched amply with the addition of things like breadcrumbs or oats, and that that, if we're been totally honest, not all meatloaves about with flavour. Get a good one though, and it's an absolute culinary delight. Hearty, richly flavourful, filling and just as good (if not better!) the next day, hot or cold.<br /><br />I'm with you on adoring them and hope that as time goes on, they'll be able to shake off more of their unjustified bad rep.<br /><br />Many hugs & happy fall time cooking wishes!<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-7529092353356176802016-10-04T21:44:37.477-07:002016-10-04T21:44:37.477-07:00It's interesting, isn't it, how a dish can...It's interesting, isn't it, how a dish can be a decades (or even centuries) old classic one part of the world, but those in another may never have tried it (or even heard of it).

I sometime make an Italian inspired version (how can I not when I'm married to one of Italy's native sons? :)) in which I swirl (pre) slow roasted garlic into the raw meat. The double cooking, in the end, mellows the flavour gorgeously and with a rich tomato sauce plus a sprinkling of cheese on top, almost makes one think of a pasta-less lasagna. Highly recommended if you like garlic. <br /><br />Many hugs & happy early October wishes,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-8173477364712159342016-10-04T21:40:27.040-07:002016-10-04T21:40:27.040-07:00Yum, yum and yum again!

Ove...Why do meat-loafs have such a bad reputation?!<br />Over here, it's quite the dish, and there are so many varieties. Let me think.. heck, there's just too many versions of sauces to cover them with, and all the various meats you can make them from, the potential herbs you can add up to give them a bit o "zing". They can go as gar as being "meatless" - using soy chunks. And they can go as plain as using wet old bread as a binder.<br />Basically, what I'm trying to point out: why would anyone mock a dish that is set it's place as "everything goes"?! Why would people make fun of the meal that can be made so elaborate to suit a fancy dinner-table and yet remain so plain that a less fortunate family can have it on a cold winter day..<br /><br />Thanks for this!<br />Have a lovely Sunday.<br />Marija<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04034764185511908294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-60503983045203800542016-10-01T22:05:41.637-07:002016-10-01T22:05:41.637-07:00I've never really eaten meatloaf before, but l...I've never really eaten meatloaf before, but love reading your vintage recipe posts, including this one too!

Stew and dumplings, shepherds pie, meat and potato pie and the unbeatable Sunday roast, mmmmmmm, sorry about the pool of saliva.

One of my rebbetzins makes a delicious vegan shepherd's pie for those of us who are vegetarian or vegan. Textured vegetable protein or vegan taco filling/hamburger crumbles would be a good beef substitute.<br /><br />Years before I was either kosher or vegetarian, I loved my junior high's meatloaf they served in the hot cafeteria. (We had a hot and cold cafeteria, with the hot cafeteria segregated by sex. Girls sat on one side, and boys sat on the other.) Though the scent of beef makes me feel slightly sick after almost 20 years of abstention, I do have fond memories of that wonderful cafeteria meatloaf!Carrie-Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05810154378449825641noreply@blogger.com
