A friend's daughter is facing a tough row to hoe coupled with a very
tall mountain to climb. (See link in my sig line * for background read
her first couple journal entries). My friend is meeting herself coming
and going. Last night I brought a couple meals for her and her husband
(for my friend -- her daughter has her own network of help). I'm
thinking of making some meatloaf.

One plan: Make and bake a full size meatloaf (a couple pounds of meat)
and deliver maybe 1/3 of it intact for them to enjoy soon and include
the rest of the meatloaf in bagged slices for the freezer with heating
and serving instructions.

Another plan: Make the meatloaf and deliver it raw for the freezer.
If I do this I'm thinking I'll make small loaves ‹ likely sized for
individual portions - to be baked at will. IF I go that route, what
baking instructions do I include? Bake from frozen for x amount of time
(to allow for frozen state) where x is what?? Can I form them into
salisbury steak-like shapes?

Let's say those portions are maybe 1/3#. Heck, at that weight, I can
shape the meatloaf mixture into patties and have her grill them like
burgers. What do you think of that possibility? (It just came to me;
I'm not devoted to the thought but am willing to offer it to my friend,
though I think it's too much like having "to cook something for dinner."

I'm leaning to baking first; the less my friend has to do to put food on
the table, the happier we'll both be.

Whaddaya think?

I think I'd very much like to have you as my friend. Baking it first
would be the easiest for her. You could slice part of a big one and pack
the slices for freezing. Then all she would have to do is nuke the
frozen slices to defrost and heat them.

If you use gravy or sauce on the meatloaf, I'd make up a few small
containers of the sauce or gravy for her to nuke with the slices.

There are some pretty palatable mashed potatoes that come in something
like a margarine tub in the dairy case of the market. A container might
go nicely with the meat loaf.

I hope all goes well for your friend and her family.

:0-) I'm a really shitty housekeeper but if you my help for anything
but that, I'm usually available. Also, (and this ought to jack up some
of the folks here but I do hope they'll keep it to themselves), my
faith is pretty strong and I like to operate out of these verses from
the Bible: James 2:14 What good is it, my friends, if a man claims to
have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? Suppose a
brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says
to him, "Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing
about his physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by
itself if it is not accompanied by action is dead. " My pastor and I
have had some "conversation" about those verses and my interpretation of
them and I know that they are taken out of context and i don't much care
but it's what I hang my hat on. It's what my mom, who had nothing,
taught me to do. And let me make abundantly clear that I know that
Christians don't have a lock on being do-gooders. :-) And don't think
for a minute that I hold myself to be a stellar example of Christianity;
I'm too much of a snot for that. <grin>

And I, who hates meatloaf, found that when lightly browned in a hot
skillet, it makes a damn fine sandwich!

Oh, excellent idea, Janet; thank you.

Oh, that's a good idea, too! Any particular brand you can recommend?
I've used Simply Potatoes hashbrowns and find them quite acceptable. I
think they make mashed potatoes for quick heating, too.

> I hope all goes well for your friend and her family.

Thanks. She's got a 3-1/2 year old and a 1-3/4 year old. I hope so,
too. Her cancer is not curable but has been treatable. The spinal
tumor growth has been a real kick in the shorts for all of them.

> Janet (the Texas one)

OK, I've decided. I'm baking the meatloaf in the morning. (Ground
chuck is on special this week). :-0) I brought over chicken soup
with homemade noodles, and hotdish last night. :-0) Hotdish. One
word. In freezable bags. Others in our group are making meals, too.

Freezing raw meat loaf is not food safe. Bake it in those giant
muffin tins, then freeze.... zap 3-4 minutes each meat muffin in the
nuker they'll be piping hot. Goes well with mashed taters, gravy, and
harvard beets.

Good enough ‹ except for the beets. You pervert. I wouldn't eat 'em
and I wouldn't offer 'em. That's how it goes. If Anita wants beets,
she'll have to get them from some other source, :-P

I would bake individual ones that could be reheated, eaten cold (my
favorite), frozen or whatever she wants to do with them.

I agree. Reheating seems a lot easier than cooking when
you're under the
kind of stress they are.

I'm not sure why you think freezing uncooked meatloaf is not safe. As
long as the ingredients are fresh, there should be no problem with
bacteria.

I think a version of your first option is best. Bake the entire meatloaf,
but deliver it whole. Suggest that they might want to freeze portion
slices of what they don't initially eat.

Where exactly did you read that I said anything against cold meatloaf? I
even like chunks of it plain with just a bit of salt and pepper, as well as
in a sandwich with mustard and onion.

I suggested they might freeze portions if they wanted another hot dinner.

Yes, baking first is how it will go.
The grilling thing came about from thinking about individual portions to
bake and eat and then it went to. . . . . oh, never mind,

It's GROUND beef.

Next time yoose shop check the frozen foods section and see if you can
find a prepared meat dish (any meat) that's uncooked.

I have to agree. Leftovers from a a good meat loaf make terrific sandwiches.

When I was a kid, it was leftover meatloaf with butter. When I
say butter, understand I mean margarine, the healthful alternative.

That's true, but as for frozen dinners, they are always precooked. I think
it's because it is far easier to reheat something that is frozen than to
cook it raw from it's frozen form. Ground beef seems to be an exception.

From your fingers to Alex's ears. She was in surgery for at least 10
hours today. I don't know yet if she's out. Her husband's posted to
the CaringBridge site a couple times today. Ugh, ugh, and ugh!

> Janet (the Texas one)

<cough> Bob Evans might become my new best friend. His mashed potatoes
(more like whipped potatoes) are tasty (maybe just salty) and were
enjoyed at suppertime tonight. Rob does something unspeakable with his;
I ate mine with a spoon and then nuked some more.
