My Cooking Skills are Still Evolving......

Just so you know, all my dinners are not as delicious as they sound. Last week I made the most horrific "tuna noodle casserole" you could imagine. How can I list the ways this went wrong? First I used whole wheat noodles -- we use whole wheat noodles for most everything and like the taste, but when you use whole wheat noodles, you need to add a little more liquid to the dish because ww noodles tend to absorb more liquid. I didn't do that AND, I got busy with something and let the casserole cook waaay too long. It was one big dried up lump. And, then, let's see I forgot to add the tuna. So we had one big dried out lump of noodles for supper.  Uh, not very appetizing, huh? George was a real sweetie and ate a big helping though, he didn't want me to have make anything else.

And We Will Be Eating a Box of Frozen Lasagna

We are not big on eating frozen prepared meals -- usually too low on taste and too high on salt. However, today we will be eating Stoufer's Giant Lasagna in a box. I'm going to buy a big family sized one at lunch time today. As a bachelor, a big pan of Stoufer's lasagna was like a home cooked meal to George. He's mentioned twice this week that he would like one. Last night before closing his eyes to sleep, he mentioned it again. So my husband is dreaming of Stoufer's lasagna... and we are going to have it for supper tonight.
