As the wind and the rain raced around outside the apartment, I have been hiding inside, wearing the editorial hat. And watching old horror movies on t.v. And cooking. Because, y'know, what else is one to do when one has spoils of the hunt from William-Sonoma?



suri's presentation meatloaf
1 lb lean ground beef (20% or less fat)
1 red onion, shredded
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
4 oz sun-dried tomato paste
1/5 c. shredded baby carrots (optional, but healthy for you!)
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1 egg, scolded firmly
2/3 c low-fat milk
1/2 t. beef demi-glace

combine all ingredients gently and form into a loaf. Make a depression in the top of the loaf and cover with more tomato paste, then sprinkle shredded reggiano into the depression. Bake at 350 degrees for about an hour. Let sit to firm up, and serve. Yum.


You could probably get away without the egg, if you added more of another liquid, but I'd suggest keeping the milk -- I've made meatloaf with dark liquids (stock, beer, wine, etc) and it has a rather different taste.


And now, onward to clean the kitchen. Dishes. Wheee. I need Staff. Or at least a kitchen-boy.
