Hey we are going to have a very hot day, yay! My kinda weather. Gonna get up to 30 C (86F) and it did. Now today we are going to have a partial eclipse , so I headed into Forest for a few groceries and see if I could snag some solar eclipse glasses, But as I expected none where to be found.
But I had a plan "B" make a pin hole camera thing from a cereal box. Need a box of cereal anyway, so not a problem. I set to work and in a few minutes was all made just waitng for the eclipse to happen.

Tonight a very moist Turkey meat loaf for supper, I followed this recipe that I found on the web, clic
here or my recipe blog top right sidebar.

| mushrooms and onions ready |
 |
| sauted down and ready to mix |
 |
| trivet I use to raised the meatloaf off the grill |
Between cooking and watching the eclipse we noticed a stillness in the air, no wind and no birds, very eerie.

Then a bit later as we were enjoying our e-readers a few friends stopped by to chat, First was Martin , then Ron stopped by on his bicycle, and Walt as he wandered on by and as usual Walt is working on something.
 |
| hi Walt |
 |
| then Melinda stopped in to say hi as well |
But now almost 4:30 time to put our meatloaf on the Weber Q with the trivet, Just about an hour it was done to perfection, low and slow is the trick and no peaking.

| perfect |

added to our green salad and we both really enjoyed it
leftovers of course
meat loaf sandwiches that we love. |
What a fun day, we enjoyed the partial eclipse, chat with a few people and enjoyed this amazing weather and a very tasty supper. What are can we ask for?
Thank y'all for taking the time to check us out and hope you got to see some of the eclipse as well.
Where have we been this summer ?
Meatloaf looks good and fairly easy, if we don't peak. Great use of a cereal box!, pin-hole cameras are fun.
ReplyDeleteThe meatloaf was very easy and moist.
DeleteYes Jeff the pinhole camera was fun and worked well.
Glad you were able to make your pinhole viewer for the eclipse!! It was 92% where we are! Got to view through special glasses!! Really neat!! It sure got an eerie look outside during that time!!
ReplyDeleteThe pin hole viewer worked pretty good, the glasses would have been nice but could not find them anywhere around here.
DeleteIt was pretty eerie while it was going on.
The turkey meatloaf looks good, putting it on the list of recipes to try.
ReplyDeleteGlad to read you got to see the eclipse. We were suppose to see about 70+% but the clouds moved in until it was all over.
The meatloaf is very tasty, we did get some clouds but were able to see some of the eclipse. Kinda cool it was to see.
DeleteA few people were experiencing different things with the eclipse day.....headaches when they got up etc. weird. I saw nothing and felt nothing different, guess we'll have to wait for the big one in 2024 and get glasses before then!
ReplyDeleteMeatloaf looks great and leftovers! Yay!
Tew felt fine but the sky darkened and there was such a stillness in the air, no wind no birds. Leftover meatloaf is always good.
DeleteI love the idea with the cereal box, very clever! I bet that would be weird everything so still..That meatloaf looks awesome, I could eat it here at 0500 this am!!
ReplyDeleteThe cereal box worked pretty good, and the meatloaf, hmm so tasty as well.
DeleteMeatloaf sandwiches are the best!! Jim made a pinhole camera also but it was such a small image we all had trouble seeing it. We did have one pair of glasses so we just shared them. Really neat.
ReplyDeleteYes about the meatloaf sandwiches, so yummy. The pinhole camera was the only choice we had, better than nothing.no glasses though.
DeleteI made the exact same Camera Obscura except I used a Bran Flakes box. :) We would have seen nothing without is as glasses were all sold out long before I started looking.
ReplyDeleteThe cars box was better than nothing as you found out, All sold out around here as well.
DeleteI can see that low and slow has really done the trick :-)
ReplyDeleteYes it sure has with everything on on our Weber Q.
DeleteEclipse glasses were only available here from scalpers at $12/ per pair for the $1 glasses.
ReplyDeleteNummy. We love a good meatloaf.
ReplyDeleteSo do we this was excellent.
