Yes.. I agree.. Spinach can be an integral ingredient to Veggie Lasagna..
I'm wondering if Spinach is indeed a major ingredient in Meat Lasagna in the US? Because in Canada, I don't eat at establishments that do serve Spinach in its' Meat Lasagna.. nor have I frequented establishments in the States that do so neither..

For a sec.. I thought I was eating a substandard restaurants.. who should be adding Spinach onto their meat lasagna.. and don't.. even though its some sort of regional acceptance requirement..

That's funny, huh? Garfield loved to eat Lasagna. He ate it whole lasagna. That's too much!!

No spinach. To me it only changes the colour and has relatively little impact on taste.
I know that this is sacrilege. But I've given up on the lasagne palaver. I mix cooked fettucine with my sofrito/tomato/meat sauce and cover it with a layer of very cheesy bechemel and then bake. Terrible I know but I prefer a mix that contains red leicester. We much prefer this to lasagne even though I know it isn't.

But it was always intended this way ..... don't forget that alongside Popeye was always Olive Oil!! So I guess Lasagne was always the cunning plan.

Damnit, I need to avoid this forum. Getting hungry already.

Oh dear ..... I feel sorry for anyone who has to carefully schedule lunch. It's starts shortly after one gets up and starts to think about it ..... and extends to sometime after the last coffee and before one slumps.

He usually doesn't work on Fridays, so he meets me for lunch. It's our way of taking a little "us" time on otherwise crazy days.Today, I'll go back to work, he'll go run a few errands, including picking up baseball tickets, and then will go to an dentist appointment, and after that, he'll stop at home, grab a few things, and head to visit with his parents until tomorrow evening.

Forgot about Olive Oil.. I always thought Popeye was a cartoon character created to teach kids to eat Spinach..

LOL, I'm meeting Mr. Kipper for lunch. It's our standard Friday lunch date. He usually doesn't work on Fridays, so he meets me for lunch. It's our way of taking a little "us" time on otherwise crazy days.
Today, I'll go back to work, he'll go run a few errands, including picking up baseball tickets, and then will go to an dentist appointment, and after that, he'll stop at home, grab a few things, and head to visit with his parents until tomorrow evening.

Forget about making a shrine to breakfast. Dinner is for sissies who pretend to work during the day. Lunch is what all of life is about. It can if you plan it well - it can extend from darkness to darkness and fill the day.
The only thing that stopped it today was cricket. But that's ok.
