Lasagna

Okay, first off, note that I actually now have food. So if it were, say, dinner time, and I was hungry, rather than sighing then eating a roll of lifesavers, I can actually eat something from here. Only in America!

Here I am with pretty much all the ingredients I'll be needed. The juice was cause I was thirsty. I bought a lot of juice...

More tools and so forth. It's at this point that I begin to realize I have no idea what all "browning meat" entails. I know the basic idea, but if there was a way to mess this up, I'd do it, and if I screwed this up, I'd be pissed. So I called Mindy, who undoubtedly lowered her overall opinion of me a bit after that quick phone conversation.

So here we are with the whole thing thrown together in a mess. I didn't have slices of mozerella cheese, but the sheet didn't say I needed it. Afterwards I kinda wich I had had it.. and cottage cheese is disgusting.

One of the reasons I don't do well with cooking is that I hate the messes, and I spend more time cleaning up then I do making sure the food is actually getting prepared as it ought to.

Thankfully, the thing had to sit in the oven for over an hour, so I had plenty of time to clean the kitchen, and the living room, and do some laundry, and watch Friends, and make the juice, and drink almost all the juice.

Here's the finished product. I think the mozerella on the top woulda made it look a little better, but I thought it looked pretty good for a first try. I was a bit afraid of what was going on under that top layer though.

And there was much rejoicing: Underneath it all it looked like lasagna. And it was quite good... Fortunate, too, cause I was really hungry at this point.

And here we are about 30 minutes later. Lunch for 5 days all set, and that pan is spotless. All in all, I call it a success. Next up: Chili.
