Your plane was late :-)

We had a good time. She made; (all from scratch and all delicious)

A cider baked ham
Meatloaf
asparagus quiche
Egg salad (one of the other neighbours is a vegetarian)
green salad,
a tomato salad
bread
apple pie
fresh fruit salad
meringues

I hope I have her energy when I'm 82.

This morning she sent me the yummy meatloaf recipe, which she served
cold and very finely sliced; I'd never seen ml cooked this way before
and it was very good.

she shapes the mixture (ground beef, bacon, crumbs, seasoning and an
egg) into a roll; wraps it tightly in greaseproof paper then an outer
layer of foil and ties it with string. Then put it in a pan pof water
and simmer for four hours.
