My new temporary home

As many of you know I moved house yesterday and am very fortunate that some very lovely people have agreed I can stay with them for a bit until my house search begins. Its been a long, drawn out moving in process. For a start, I started moving stuff little and often but some things have to be done on the last day so my boyfriend and I made the final journey from South West London to East London armed with drying rack, bag full of condiments eg mustard, flour, sugar, food colouring etc and about 2 holdalls. We were a sight to behold!

However, on arrival at my new temporary home I felt very much at home. I unpacked all the bags, put the condiment bag away in the kitchen and put a washing load on. (The drying rack was immediately useful!) After this we decided the best course of action was to go to the pub as one of us wanted to watch the football so off we trotted to the pub.

What was to follow would blow all our minds...

After the pub, we went to the butchers and bought some unusual cuts of meat and decided on a banquet where we each cook and prepare our cut of meat. So the Banquet is for today but we needed something for dinner last night so someone had the inspired idea to make a meatloaf. I for one have never had meatloaf before so was excited at the prospect of trying something new.

We found a recipe (http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2010/09/my-favorite-meatloaf/)
Definitely recommend it and went about preparing the most colossal meatloaf I have ever seen.

This was the meatloaf pic from the recipe but ours looked pretty similar just a bit bigger!

So having been in my new temporary home just 24 hours I am already having my eyes opened up to a whole world of food possibilities.
