I always pronounce lasagna phonetically.  In my mind, out loud … other ways in which you can communicate nouns.  Perhaps telepathy.

Anyway, I made lasagna today.  After making brownies.  Of which I have no pictures because it is 75% devoured already because more than anything else I wanted warm brownies and ice cream with hot fudge.  And since THE WIFE wouldn’t drive me the .25 km to get me ice cream last night, I had to wait until the morning.

I know.  I shouldn’t  have wanted to be driven, especially with my whole trying-to-be-eco-frienly.  But I was cold.  And didn’t want to cross the intersection at 10 at night.  Intersections can be dangerous things.  Especially at 10 o’clock at night.   Besides, I made it up by getting eco-friendly body wash.  It was also $2.99.  It probably retails for more than that.  Seeing as it was in a shopping cart in the middle of the aisle along with a bunch of other stuff that didn’t appear to be selling.

Suffice to say, my money is very much gone because of me being a student and all, and friviously spending money on ricotta cheese, body wash, and cookies and cream ice cream.

Anyway, I attempted to take pictures throughout the process of making lasagna, but forgot to at some point.

I DO have three steps, however.

At this point, I was cooking the onions, garlic, red and yellow peppers, zucchini, and eggplant.  It made for a very colourful (and delicious) meal

Italian Sausage.  It’s a Good Thing.  We all enjoy it.  Methinks, that next time I will use Thrifty’s italian sausages (if they ever come on sale again)  they had fennel seeds in them and you could seriously TASTE the beautiful seasonings.  The beautiful, beautiful seasonings…

Anyway, the part where I layered, completed it, then forgot the Ragu spaghetti sauce and had to disassemble it put the sauce in it and then re-assemble it wasn’t photographed.

Neither was the top layer of cheese

Neither was the part where I put the aluminum foil over top.

Netieher was the part where I took it off.  And put it on broil.

But I do have the end result.

After I ate two pieces.

As you can see it was delicious.

Here’s my recipe!

• 1 onion, diced
• 2 garlic cloves minced
• 1 red pepper
• 1 yellow pepper
• 1/2 purple eggplant
• 1/2 zucchini (or any other variations of vegetables that you  like)
• 6 hot Italian sausage links, slinked out of their sausage holders (unless you’re classier than me and actually get ground italian sausage)
• Ricotta cheese
• Mozzarella cheese
• 9 lasanga noodles

Begin by sauteing your vegetables

Transfer the vegetables to a separate bowl and brown the sausage.

Layer your lasanga this way: (or other ways.  I won’t judge)  Noodles, Ricotta, Vegetables, Meat, Sauce: Repeat until everything is gone

Top with a layer of mozzarella wrap foil on top of the pan loosly.  Bake at 350 for 30 minutes

Take off the foil, and broil so the cheese is bubbly for approx. 5 minutes or until sufficiently bubbly.

Eat, and serve.

Um.

So I made chocolate covered pretzels yesterday.

Um.

They don’t really exist anymore.

I ate them.

I didn’t even have time to take a nice picture of the finished product.  But I did get the ingredients!

And I did get a picture of me melting the chocolate and Crisco.

But alas, I did not get a picture of the finished product.  My intentions were good, however.

Look!  I even googled chocolate covered pretzels that LOOK like the ones I made!

Except for the part that i never fully submerged mine and got really lazy with the drizzle and it was really messy

Gonna be honest.  These are mine.  Delicious.  But chunky.  And there’s only six left.

oops.

Five.
