Meatloaf made from the Home Comfort cook book recipe |
I love to cook and I really love to cook old school. Outside over an open fire or inside on an antique wood burning kitchen stove the way Grandma did it. In these times most everything is tossed into a microwave and nuked for a few minutes and people call that food. When someone takes the time to actually cook, the food tastes better, is better for you and makes you feel good.

More info on the new stove
I did a little research on the stove. It is a model CA and they were built in 1933. The interesting things about this stove are that it was the first model that Home Comfort welded the back portion of the oven to the formed sides, top and bottom of the oven. All older models were bolted together. It also was the first to have an interlocking stove top that was hand laid and adjusted for perfect fit and proper sealing during expansion and contraction due to heat ranges. I think I lucked out getting this model. I also got my hands on a VERY nice original copy of the 1933 Home Comfort cook book that featured the model CA. This is where I was able to find out all this wonderful information about this stove. This weekend I plan on taking a good amount of the stove apart for cleaning and inspection. I don't think I will take it 100% apart, but I hope to be able to inspect the entire stove and make a list of what needs repairs. I will photograph the steps and post them here in case others would like to have an idea of how to take the stove apart.
Lastly I made an awesome meatloaf from the recipe in the Home Comfort cook book. Even my wife said it was better than hers and she is a great cook!
Here is the page from the book for the beef loaf recipe.
