The only way I would have meatloaf when hot is if I happened to have some in
the freezer. And I would likely eat it cold, on a sandwich. I just baked a
loaf of white bread last night. I'm trying to use up the bread flour as I
don't need it for the bread that I usually eat. I use my oven very little
during the summer. I am using it a lot now. It provides heat!
