of Yahoo! Food and meatloafs

i'm in the architecture library now, getting some work done on the computer.
the brownless feels soo much more at home for me~~ proves that i indeed transcend into the medical nerd mold.

but having said that, mel's newest phase is surfing the Yahoo sites for yummylicious recipes!a a truly weird addiction. people have their caffeine fix, movie fix and i have my looking-at-yummylicious-recipes fix. it's enough to refresh my brain after a bout of serious a-nerding.
and and and...
i get to improve my culinary skills!!

okay, maybe it's different on thw website and when doing it. but hey, i can get the basics down pat!!

Yahoo!Food recipes that are currently on Mel's faves-and-can't-wait-to-try-out list:
1. chicken noodle soup (i always dreamt of making the perfect broth for those cold sick-ly days...comes with the territory of being a meddie)
2. Oreos Philadelphia non baked cheesecake (will be trying this out for Jenna's birthday this weekend and is absolutely baking-oven-free and takes half hour to prepare!! awesome, ain't it??)
3. toffee choc chip cookies
4. the eggplant minced beaf lasagne
5. apple dumplings
6. the various salad dressings
7. italian minestrone soup
8. MEATLOAF!! (i have always had a fascination with meatloafs and growing up in an Asian and meatloaf-free environment makes me crave it even more!! but without an oven in my apartment, it is a lost cause indeed. and the fact that it is crucified as the unhealthy food of the American culture makes me desire it even more!! forbidden fruit tastes the sweetest. and i have even heard that unscrupulous restauranteurs even put innards and mystery meat in it instead of lean mince!!)
9. a perfectly cooked steak
