What Did You Have For Dinner Last Night?

...cardamon...

Great spice. I put it in my tea when I want something a bit special. Never thought of adding that to my vegetables though...

 

[Aurian]

Tonight AA made us potatoes, green beans and meatballs. Simple and awesome, especially since it is new potatoes (which is always tastier..)

The only time I use cardamon is in the dough when I make cinnamonrolls. (Kanelbullar) otherwise I find it way too aromatic. But my friend she chews on the capsules . I think i would have an astma-attack if I did that.

Lion King roll, Cherry Blossom, and a Crazy Horse.

Love love love sushi....

Cardamon is supposed to be quite beneficial in a lot of ways. Must taste great in those cinnamon rolls.

^ You're welcome Just checked ~ it's 500g of minced beef, just the usual supermarket packet size. That should make enough easily for 4 people.

Yeah, I always use like 600 grams or so when I make lasagna. But then again, I think my recipe (very similar to yours except I have lots more cheese and no wine in it) serves like 5-6 people atleast.

 

[Starbreaker]

I had a pepperoni hot pocket last night... and this morning.

 

[Michael Chris]

I had frozen lasagna. It was good.

 

[gwud]

I had a french bread pizza. It was distinctly mediocre.

That's what I love about lasagne ~ you just change it to what you like
Do you put a layer of cheesey sauce in between layers? I find this makes it a bit sloppy?

NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! You must make it with love ~ it tastes better

I make a bolognese sauce, and a bechamelsauce (milk/butter/flour to make it thicker. Spice it up with garlic, (creamcheese if i have it) salt and pepper. Then I just layer it with white sauce, lasagnaplates, meatsauce, lasagnaplates, white sauce+ CHEESE, bolognese, plates, bolognese, plates. Whitesauce and VERY MUCH cheese.

That is a whole lot of everything in the lasagna. But the trick is to let it wait a while before cutting into it. Then the sauce settles a bit

Last night's dinner:

I started with an appetizer of Screwdriver, followed by a slightly stronger Screwdriver as my entree, followed my an even stronger Screwdriver for dessert. To drink with my meal I had a Screwdriver, and I then had a Screwdriver as an after-dinner cocktail.

Did you have a screwdriver for pudding and wash it down with a bottle of wine?

No, but I did have a Long Island Iced Tea for brunch.
