Saturday afternoon, I am on the phone with Nani
me: Nani, what goes in your meatloaf. I've looked all over the internet and these recipes have way too many ingredients in them.
Nani: Well lets see...meat
me: how much?
Nani: well how much meatloaf do you want?
me: enough...how about a 1 1/2 lbs of meat?
Nani: that works. Ok, so meat, crackers, salt, pepper, worshtich... sauce. That's it.
me: awesome. Thanks
Tuesday night, I am again on the phone with Nani
me: ok, now how do you make meatloaf?
Nani: ok, so first you wash your hands and dump everything into a bowl. Oh, and I forgot to tell you an egg.
me: well luckily I bought eggs for something else.
Nani: ok, good. Now smush it all together.
me: well how much of everything?
Nani: ok, one sleeve of crackers, the whole onion...
me: I don't have an onion. You've never mentioned an onion.
Nani: I didn't? Well shoot. Ok, do you have an onion soup packet?
me: As a matter of fact yes.
Nani: ok, use 1/2 of that. That should work.
me: ok, I've got meat, crackers, an egg, onion packet. How much worshtich...sauce?
Nani: well you probably don't need it since you used the onion packet.
me: great.
Nani: ok, now you smush. And that requires actually touching the raw meat.
me: oh, I can touch the meat. I'm so over that now.
Nani: What?!?! That's crazy.
[I should now interject that this used to be a problem for me. Up until very recently, I did not touch raw meat. It was gross and slimey. I have since gotten over it. I have shown that raw meat who is boss]
me: ok, thoroughly smuched together. How long do I cook it?
Nani: well it depends on what shape you mold it into.
me: ok, I'm just going to stick it in for 30 minutes and check on it after that.
Nani: yeah, just cook it until it's done.
