Yesterday I had a cooking afternoon and made two meat loaves:

Scilla's Meat Loaf

1lb beef mince
4 oz breadcrumbs
1 onion, chopped
1 egg
1 tsp herbs
1 tbsp tomato puree
some stock

1. Fry onions gently, add other ingredients.
2. Cool and little then add beaten egg.  
3. Mix well, put into lined meat tin and cook for 1 1/2 hours.  

I didn't have a loaf tin so cooked the mixture in a pyrex bowl which was just as successful.  

Ham Loaf
1 cup oats
8 oz ham
1/2 cup milk
1 carrot
1/2 green pepper
1/2 onion
1 egg
herbs/pepper
1 tbsp flour

1. Blend all these together in the mixer.
2. Put into greased loaf tin.
3. Cook at 175C/Gas 4 about 35 - 40 mins.

This is a good way to eat ham for someone who normally finds it rather salty.

Whilst the oven was on I also added cooked chicken to some white sauce, seasoning and herbs - and a few almonds - with a topping of crushed crisps mixed with grated cheese.  This was cooked in the oven until the top was brown and crisp.  Yum.

Then I made some cauliflower soup and some vegetable soup - and now feel there's no need to cook for the rest of the week.
