Trying something new


My first attempt at making lasagna wasn't flawless. The top layer dried out and turned a little brown around the edges. Mom and I ended up throwing out the top layer. I should have put a tomato sauce on top, but I didn't. The rest of the lasagna was very good. I layered noodles with hamburger mixed with cut up onions , green peppers and mushrooms. Ricotta cheese went on top of the hamburger mixture followed by diced tomatoes. I shared some of it with my neighbor Laurel. The lasagna served us both for lunch and dinner. I considered myself a spaghetti cooking person. This is a bold move for me to try something new. I did one time make Chicken Cacciatore and it turned out pretty good.

    Nice picture. I always like the wave pictues because like clouds, they are have an endless variety of shape and form. I especially like the translucent jade green color of the breaking wave. Plus your camera can "freeze" the individual droplets of water in the air. Big lens. I am a picture nut and I always look closely at pictures to see if they tell a story. Did you use Ragu spaghetti sauce in the lasagna? My mom use to make chicken cacciatore quite often when I was young. She liked making it because after working all day, she wanted something that she could make by just putting the ingredients into the pan and let it simmer. A little pasta in boilibg water and Voila!, supper was made. Enjoy the cool weather, I know that I am. Today is Friday and you know what that means, fish for supper. Lew

    Speaking of Lasagna. I always layer the lasagna noodles with ricotta. I add a pkg of frozen (thawed) spinach to the ricotta. I also cover each of the lasagna noodles with Ragu Sauce with cooked meat added to it. You can also add ground sausage meat to the Ragu. On top of the lasagna I cover it with shredded mozarella cheese. Lew loves it....Mary
