Mini Meatloaves
Overall, these tasted good but I think some of the proportions are off. To get a decent sized mini-loaf, I ended up with 6 of them, not 8 (and could have easily just made 4 of them, but I was concerned about that affecting the cooking temp and time). I also ended up with more sauce than we would have liked, and it was a bit too sweet, so next time I will scale back the ketchup, brown sugar and mustard.

Pecan Pie Bars I
I made these for a work pot luck. I couldn't find a jelly roll pan on short notice, so I did as another suggested used a disposible 9x13 cake pan and reduced the servings to 24, but cooked the same amount of time. I also lined the bottom with parchment. I used brown sugar in the filling, and per another suggestion I refrigerated overnight. It came out perfectly, and there were no leftovers. Will definitely make again.

Shrimp Bisque II
Lots of work, but worth every minute. I used half and half instead of heavy cream, and it was still very flavorful. My only word of caution is to use a mesh strainer--or better yet, cheese cloth in the mesh strainer. Don't try to use only cheese cloth to strain, because it has a hard time holding up to the thickness of the sauce. Lacking a mesh strainer, as an emergency fix I put my cheesecloth into a colander and strained it that way.
