Meatloaf and Roast Vegetables

Wednesday October 10

Today was finally the first tangible day of Fall - the temperature plunged into the 50s, the air conditioner didn't come on, and the sole surviving zucchini plant withered up (why, Lord? Why?). So it was a perfect day for a comfortable, warming meatloaf in the oven.

The infinitely-adaptable recipe ranges from HERE to HERE.

This time we had no celery, so used only a big chopped onion; and mixed it and all the condiments in the bowl with the beaten egg first, before adding the meat and breadcrumbs.

Alongside the meatloaf we piled sliced potatoes, carrots, and parsnips, in that order, to roast. The parsnips were even a mite crispy, proving that they take the least time to roast.
