Dinner last night was "love love lasagna". I still call it this, as I had to ask GW for her recipe when I first attempted a lasagna, and she sent me her ラブラブラサニア recipe. The name sticks.
Anyway, last night I added some grated carrot and pumpkin to the mix. And I have to say that it was just divine! The pumpkin made the lasagna really "creamy". J had 2 refills! .
Playgroup yesterday was good. One of the kids that K always mentions came back from his summer holidays, and I think she was happy to see him. Before bed last night I asked her if S was her boyfriend, and she put on this loopy grin. Too cute.
This morning we went for a quick walk to the river, to let R frolic in the grass. Came home to have a shower(man it is hot!)and polish off the lasagna left overs for lunch. Am about to watch some Veronica Mars (nice suggestion, Illahee!) as I sit in air conditioned luxury, folding up washing while K naps. My days are just TOO exciting!
I suggested to J that for dinner tonight, we go to the new Tonkotsu (yay!) ramen joint that opened down the road this week. But a look in the fridge revealed lots of bits and pieces so I changed my mind, as it is a woman's prerogative* to do so, and we are going frugal friday with a hodge-podge of whatever we can dish up. Still half of that togan too, so will have to find another recipe to use that one up.
So the ingredients in the fridge are:
What can I turn all that into? hmmmmm.
Also tossing up what to do this weekend - mountains or ocean? With R, it makes it harder to head to the ocean, as we can't leave her in the car while we eat or anything in this heat. At least the mountains are a bit cooler. Am sure we will work something out.
* my google for the day is the word Prerogative
Not only is it my favourite Boby Brown song
but I just worked out the correct spelling for it today. ha! how about that silent "r" in there!
I love gaijin wife's name for the lasagna!! I might just have to start calling it that too :P
ReplyDeleteIt will be interesting to see what you come up with for dinner! Sounds like an interesting mix. I think I would have stuck to the tonkotsu ramen place myself though... LOL!
I will be interested to see what you made with those ingredients too- and no offence but I am glad tonight is not a night I am coming for dinner (I hate Nato and Goya)....Shun would have loved to :-)
ReplyDeleteI see you are after some new shows to watch- the two I have gotten hooked on recently are Brothers and Sisters and The Cleaner! Check them out!
Sorry about this morning - phone ran out of juice. Will be putting pumpkin in next LLlasagna. It has grated carrot in it now at our house too.
ReplyDeleteHave good weekend. You're going home soon aren't you? Will try and call you again next week. Night.
I made two pans of lasagna this week. I had to bake them one at a time because my oven is so small. The first one turned out great but as I was taking the second one out of the oven I dropped it. I moved my foot at the last second but I still managed to get a good burn in a few places. The worst part is that I really wanted to eat that lasagna!!!
ReplyDeleteI have a habit of the dropsies too, and there is SO nothing worse than dropping a yummy dinner! Hope you managed to salvage some or at least downsize everyone's serving to get some for yourself too ;)
