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!
