railenthe | Date Night…

*zzz*

*INCREDIBLY JARRING BEEPING NOISE*

*stabs smoke detector* Lousy rotten smoke alarm, goin’ off when there’s nothing to worry about but boiling water and *mutter mutter mumble mumble*

It’s date night, and that means that I have been cooking since roughly two o’clock. Meatloaf—my famous bacon-wrapped meatloaf, though the thick cut bacon makes things complicated. I had to finish the thing in the broiler because thick cut bacon doesn’t like to crisp in the oven when it’s wrapped around a juicy, juicy meatloaf.

My head’s pounding, and it took so long to cook this thing through (three hours whut) that I was able to take a nap during the entire thing.

Not posting pictures of this one. It came out tasty, but it did NOT come out pretty enough for me to take shots.

…also I don’t have the foggiest idea where my camera batteries are. XD

I’m conscious for a little while at least, while I wait for him to show up. Once it’s cooled off a tad, I get to make a side dish. Cheese sticks.

…what? I just spent that much time with the oven on in summer with a smoke alarm that does the proverbial “shouting fire in a crowded theater” thing. I can make lazy side dishes if I damn well please sirs and madams!
