The
Fannie Farmer recipe said to use a loaf pan. The definition it gave in
the front section of a loaf pan was an exact description of the one I
planned to use. I preheated the oven to 350 degrees, mashed together the
ingredients in a large glass bowl, and filled the loaf pan with the mix.
Before putting it in the oven, I spread ketchup over the top, just like
my mom always did. With
the meatloaf in the oven, I put the water on for the potatoes, peeling
and slicing while the water heated. When the potatoes and water came to
a boil, I set the timer for twenty minutes and went to the living room
to wait. I tried to watch television, but couldn't relax. Every channel
was covering the terrorist attacks, even the Spanish language channels
and MTV. I decided to read instead, which in this case didn’t amount
to much more than turning pages.
