Meatloaf In The Breville Oven & Good Books

Yesterday my youngest daughter picked me up and we took Andrew to the park. 

Then we went to lunch. Her birthday lunch. She's 38. And she's my baby. 

I had a little stack of magazines for her, and she had books for me. You can see them below. We always trade books.

I finished a book on my Kindle last night. So I will start one of these tonight. Hm. Which one?

Read any of these?

I got a year's subscription to four magazines through Discountmags.com for right at $20 total. If you subscribe to their updates, you will get daily specials.

I ordered Family Circle, Woman's Day, Better Homes & Gardens, and Midwest Living.  

She brought me home and later in the afternoon I cooked a meatloaf in my Breville oven. I'd never done that. But it was delicious! 

A couple of eggs, some milk, catsup, bread crumbs. And I had a packet of meatloaf seasoning.

Moist, tender, and yummy! That and a glassed of iced tea really hit the spot.

I think tonight I will make a pan of cornbread. Also in the Breville oven. I love cornbread. Rarely a week goes by that I don't make cornbread.

Last week I made taco soup in the crock pot and cooked cornbread. 

I don't know about you, but I was raised on beans and cornbread. Fried potatoes. Sliced tomatoes and onions from the garden. Okra.

I didn't know what canned food was until I was in high school I don't think.

I'll eat meatloaf leftovers for a few days and then I'll freeze individual meals for later. I love to make my own "frozen dinners."

I froze at least half a dozen baggies of taco soup in my small freezer last week. 

Thanks for all the suggestions for the mice problem in the comments. You readers are a great source of information.

I finished The Woman In Cabin 10. I thought it was actually better than Girl On A Train. 

I love books that keep me guessing all the way to the end. And I must say The Woman In Cabin 10 was a consummate thriller from beginning to end. Girl On A Train was a close runner-up.

Would you rather watch TV or read? I'd much rather read. 

There's nothing quite like silence, but for the steady snuffling of sleeping dogs. A good book and flannel sheets to snuggle into. The good life.

City sounds surround me, so I turn on my sound machine, which is always tuned to rain. 

I love rain just about as much as a good book to read.

What book are you reading? If you find a book not quite up to your standards, do you plow through till the end? Or do you start something else?

I just can't bring myself to read all the way through a book that I find boring.
