Welcome to my new blog. I have often wanted to do this, but never really knew where to start. Thanks to google, it seems pretty simple. So here goes.
I just celebrated my birthday last week. Took some well deserved time off, made the biggest lasagna ever. I hate going to restaurants, ordering lasagna and wind up with what I consider crap. So, I bought the biggest block of mozzarella, provolone, ricotta, cottage cheese, fresh parmesan, and then got a second block of mozzarella for good measure. I bought some hamburger, Italian sausage, mushrooms, lasagna noodles, tomatoes, spices, garlic. I even bought a large roasting pan and some pans to put leftovers in. Normally I make my own cake because I like how I make it, but decided to buy one from the bakery. That's a chocolate cake with whipped cream and chocolate shavings - sort of like a black forest, except without the cherries. The cake ended up being better then any cake I have ever made and am now addicted.
I went home with all my ingredients, and in steps, started making my lasagna. Of course, this is a process and it took awhile to do this. Wow, when it all came together, it exceeded my expectations. It truly was the best lasagna and cake. Sometimes you have to do it the way you want to in order to have it the way you want. Sometimes, another option is better then the way you are used to.
This was truly my best birthday. By the way, I turned 40 and feel younger today then I did decades ago, when I thought turning 30 was old. Age is really in how you feel about yourself. I take time for myself now that I never would have done before. I treat myself to the things in life that make me happy.
Thanks for reading my blog, and have a great day!
