Apparently having the flu has made me lose my appetite for anything other than comfort food from my youth. Usually I want vegetable or seafood based dinners but this week I am all about lamb chops and ground beef.

Since I do not eat gluten we had tried a rolled oats preparation the last time we had meat loaf. It was a bit too crumbly so I zapped the oats in my mini- prep until they were bread crumb-like in consistency. I also minced the garlic and onion in the same way. I really do not want to be touching food so that was the end of my participation in dinner prep.

The meat loaf, cooked to 140F was quite good. I ate some broccoli and rice but mostly I just wanted meat loaf and ketchup. I am looking forward to a meat loaf sandwich tomorrow even if I have to eat it on horrible, gummy gluten free bread.
