Pretty Good Meatloaf and Oven-Fried Vedge


Friday 11 May
Barbara is still trying to get back to that Best Meatloaf Ever she once achieved almost by accident.   
Today's try was pretty damn close.  She used saltines, and actually measured the amount she whizzed up (it was 4 oz. of crackers, which makes about 1 cup crumbs) and the amount of kosher salt she put in (it was 1 tsp.).
And since any vegetables cooked in the meatloaf pan just get cold while it's resting, she made a separate pan of steak-cut potatoes and parsnips, tossed them in oil and salt, and put them on the top rack.  And they were good with ketchup too.
The flavor and consistency were good, if a bit soft, and the crust was not quite crusty enough.  So not quite the best ever, but we'll keep trying.
