Whipped up a quick gallo pinto to go with the fire chicken burrito leftovers. Then got started on a red sauce for tonight. Tomorrow I'm thinking of making a lasagna. I can't wait! I haven't had lasagna in YEARS! Oh, I've missed having access to an oven.

It's lasagna day!!!!
Last time I remember making a lasagna was early April 2021.
It's been FAR too long!

I'm using a variation of my MIL's recipe. Which makes me laugh every time, since my MIL, bless her, eats like a German peasant. Like, black pepper is too spicy for her. So the fact that I'm using her recipe, and not my Italian family's recipe, is hilarious. But it's SO GOOD. It's not traditional, by any means, but it's so homey and cozy.

...I just have to add my own seasonings. I mean, what good lasagna recipe does not have ANY garlic, basil, or oregano in it??? Not even to season the beef???? Blasphemy.

Tonight will be the last of the lasagna. Probably with a small side salad and some garlic bread.
It was absolutely delicious.
It better not be another 4 years and 2 months until I make the next one.... >>

Last night's dinner was steak and a baked potato.
Breakfast this morning was a cheese sandwich and a side salad.
Lunch was half of a large pizza with pepperoni, spicy sausage, green peppers, banana peppers, black olives, green olives, and onions.
Then I had way too much candy for desert - sour skittles and gummy bears and dark chocolate. Then some cheeseits, some rye chips, a coffee, and an apple for a snack.
Now I'm sipping tea and thinking of skipping dinner. It's far too hot to cook.
