I already miss the wheat berries. The salad got so many compliments, and I had several people ask for the recipe (and MANY requests to explain wheat berries - "no, you don't harvest the flour"). Anyway, I gave some away, and I somewhat regret that because it only gave me enough for about 2 more servings. I suppose I'll have to make more while I'm home...

Meatloaf with oats
The beginning of this week was brutally cold (highs in the teens with wind chills in the single digits). That, combined with a stressful week (including constant fire alarm tests!) meant more comfort food. You thought I was kidding, didn't you? I don't think I've had meatloaf in about 4 years, but that's what came to mind. I don't like anything fancy with my meatloaf, so I made this basic recipe from Quaker. I didn't measure anything, and I think I changed the proportions quite a bit (I only had about 3/4 lb meat, but probably used closer to the actual amounts of everything else that the recipe called for). I also used tomato paste instead of sauce and added some minced garlic. It's really good, especially with the roasted red potatoes that I made with it. It has been a bit dry warmed up, but it was perfectly moist the night I made it. I'm not sure what to do about that, but it's not bad enough to worry.
