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.

My breakfast is usually an on-the-go meal. I enjoy our Friday lunches, in part because it pulls me out of work for a bit.

No.. not yet..

We baliffed a video store as landlords a year ago.. I'll slip into the store and see if we've got it, as we've got staff in there running the place.. but I'm probably not going to hold my breath..

I think we have other Garfield movies though.. and 14,000 other movies

We've come up with a great compromise, thanks to an amazing Secret Santa present this year. It's a pan that has 3 separate trays, each one just the width and length of a lasagna noodle. Dinner tonight was meat lasagna, meat with spinach lasagna, and veggie lasagna. Very good, and very easy to pack leftovers for lunch for the week!

That divided pan is a VERY good idea! How deep is the pan?

I usually put in a layer of spinach when I make lasagne.

I don't have it in front of me to measure, but it's very deep. I'd guess probably 2-3 inches deep. It came with a spatula that is apparently custom-designed for the pan, so it fit perfectly.

Ah! I think it's the one I saw online. I may just have to get one. Thanks!

For those who use ricotta in lasagne, how do you keep it from getting "grainy'?

I love it!!! I think I may make more this weekend.

I add egg and mix extremely well.

All the layers of meat, cheese, and pasta are crying out for some spinach. Not only for nutrients but for color.

With. No question.

So, traditional lasagna is no veggies?

I'm amazed at the number of people who add spinach. Honestly, until Mr. Kipper mentioned adding it, I'd never heard of people adding spinach to lasagna unless they were making spinach or veggie lasagna.

I will say that I am still madly in love with the lasagna pan from my Secret Santa, as the three channels make it very easy to do his and hers lasagna.

True. I guess I was looking for "authentic" lasagna.

Without!

I love spinach, prepared in many ways. I love lasagna. But the two do not mix!
