Fortunes

Alison and I went to Panda Express last Saturday. My fortune is the top one; Alison's is the bottom one. I guess my jokes will keep her alive for a long time.

Alison's Lactose Free Lasagna

I made some great lasagna today.

One of the things I have really missed is lasagna. I found soy cheese and soy yogurt and soy ice cream. But it has taken me a while to find a good non-dairy lasagna that actually tastes good. I made some before that was yucky. But this one turned out well!

I used non-boil lasagna noodles. I was skeptical, but they worked well.

I cooked ground turkey and seasoned it with Italian seasonings.

I grated carrots.

I chopped zuccini. Ben says I should have grated that too. He doesn't like vegetables. The carrots were too small to notice or pick out, and he says I should do that with other vegetables too.

I used one can of spaghetti sauce. I think I should have used two.

I used a whole block of soy mozzarella cheese. I probably could have used two.

And I used tofu in place of cottage cheese. I drained the water out of the tofu package. Then I used a fork to mash up the tofu. It worked great.

The picture Ben took with our new camera doesn't really do the lasagna justice. But it looks ok. And Ben got to play with the new camera.

Also, Ben calculated the calories in this: 252 per 3"x 3.25" serving.

Happy Birthday

Ben baked me a cute cake for my birthday. He made it and decorated it all by himself!

Quote of the Day

I heard this in Elders' Quorum today. Well, more or less.



"Repentance makes your load lighter. Kind of like deep fried air. You know . . Chinese prawn crackers."

Triscuits with Rosemary and olive oil are really good. You should try them.
