I'm having a slow weekend ... I stopped at a grocery store and picked up some stuff ... Canned Pumpkin was on sale, and so was cake mix ... I will at times make peach cobbler in my crockpot, so I decided to try pumpkin instead!

I dumped the 3 cans of pumpkin in the crock, added some milk, 2 eggs, and half the cake mix, mixing it all together, I meant to get some pumpkin pie spices, but ... Forgot!

I then smoothed out the top, and added the other half of the cake mix, sliced up a 1/4 lb stick of butter into patties, and placed on top of the cake mix, set the crockpot on high, and started driving! 3 hours later ...

I scooped some out ... Yummy

That was for lunch ... For dinner I decided I was gonna try meatloaf and mashed potatoes ...

I like to add a little bit of onion to my potatoes, and mix both sweet potatoes and Idaho russets together ... Added the rest of the onion with the meat mixture ...

More work, and more clean up than normal, but a nice change ...

I dont know how you do that and drive too! I would be eating at a diner

My meatloaf was better than what I could find at a diner that had truck parking ... Most truck stops have lousy food these days, most only have fast food and/or "roller grill" junk, even the ones that have a sit down and order are like a Denny's, Black Bear Diner, Huddle House ... Chains ... I'd rather fix it myself!

Besides, even on a good day, I can't drive more than 11 hours ... Today I only drove about 8.5 hours, so I had time to lollygag along ... Tomorrow will be even less driving ... But I've got so many leftovers, it will just be reheating them ...
