mousmeThe food, not the band.
I have washed all my dishes and made meatloaf. My evening therefore does not feel wasted.

ai731 paid me a surprise visit while I was making the aforementioned meatloaf, bearing a garbage can. An outdoor garbage can, that is, to prevent the stray cats in the neighbourhood going after our chicken bones and spreading the garbage all over the place. Yay for garbage cans!
The slight downside was that she startled the bejeezus out of me (she and t! usually come to the front door) and also because I was exercising the prerogative of those living alone and not wearing any pants. Oops.
*cough*
So after a mad scramble I got outside (the apartment is cleaner, but not quite ready for human visitation yet) and we admired the evening and the weather and expressed admiration for the "real" handles on the garbage can, unlike the stupid indentations in the plastic that most boast, which are useless in winter when one is wearing mittens or gloves.
News you need, folks. ;)
:::ETA:::
Okay, not so much meatloaf as meatcrumble. Anyone know why it's falling apart? Not enough rice? Overcooked? Help?
I'm hoping it's just undercooked, so I'm leaving it in an extra 5-10 minutes to see if that helps.
