OK, Soup

So I rebelled agains the system and had soup last night. At midnight. From a can. Plus some canned spinach and leftover fettucine with red sauce. So in a mission to expand my culinary "arts", here's a few recipes I plan to try sometime soon (mostly, I'm posting this so I can keep the links somewhere):

• Chowdah. I'm from New England, I should know how to make this. And I think clams are gummy unless expertly cooked, so I'll stick to cod chowdah.
• Hummus. Making this at home is a lot cheaper than buying it, and it's a good thing to bring to appetizer parties to show off my Lebanese heritage.
• Shake 'n' Bake chicken. Just cuz I have a hand-me-down package of Shake 'n' Bake from Mistie's roommate. And this shows you just how artistic my culinary arts presently are.
• Ditto with pot roast-in-a-bag or whatever it's called.
• Lasagna. Looks too difficult! My fridge won't fit all those ingredients.

OK, that's probably enough for this year. I'm feeling overwhelmed already.
