It’s already the last weekend in July. I’m going to see Captain Fantastic with Viggo Viggo Mortensen about a family that lives off the grid (literally). My nephew is making my special B-day dinner on Saturday. I decided on pinto beans, chili, fresh sopapillas and strawberry Pavlova. Yummy!

I’m watching the season finale of Wayward Pines.

Cya l8r and have a happy~

nighty night,
PG

Good morning! Just looked over yesterday’s cafe and such fun…turtle love and island applesauce! I’m jealous, Joan. I love naming things.

Perfect theme today as I’m really looking forward to going to this little local Italian place tonight with hubby to celebrate our 16th anniversary. I haven’t been to this place in nearly 20 years, but I remember it being very good, with the perfect date night atmosphere. Reviews online suggest it is still great. I always get either lasagna or chicken parm at Italian places. They are both sooo good. Hmm, decisions….

Going to get a little annoying problem with my car fixed today. It will be so nice to have that taken care of. Kiddos had their checkups yesterday…youngest son is hanging in there at the third percentile in height. Oh well, I’ve researched growth delay thoroughly online and his doctors have always had an eye on it. Someone has to be at the bottom percentile wise right? Youngest son loves airplanes and hubby says fighter pilots have to be a little on the short side to fit in the cockpits…so there you go.

Yes, cats are rascals, all of ’em!! They will find their food and claw a bag or dig out treats if they know they can get at them! AV, love the turtle love!
I love lasagna too, and fixed many different ways. Mr. KZ’s favorite dinner is lasagna, and he usually get it if we eat Italian.
Lasagna day and TGIF–it’s so wonderful!

Good morning all!! LOVE lasagna! Mmmm…. I used to make a TOFU version as it was dau’s favorite. It had chopped spinach, carrot slices, black olive slices, tofu with green peppers, onions, Italian seasoning, and Tumeric, all layered between noodles, spaghetti sauce, a little Parmesan Cheese and Mozz cheese on top. Really delicious, but I cannot eat Tofu any longer as it messes with my hormones so bad. 🙁 There are SO very many ways to serve lazagna!
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to the ECB’s!!!! Enjoy your dinner tonight.
I’ve been really enjoying all the wonderful fresh produce in the farmers market. Got some more corn yesterday. Still no tomatoes yet though…. Been looking through my old recipes to see what I can make with these veggies.
Wow, poor Cheri having to have her whole foot amputated now.. 🙁 SO sad…. Nice that her friend is caring for her kitty and Apt. while she is in the hospital though.She has been through SO much over the years…..
I hope everyone has a very lovely day!!

Paw up with afternoon waves to all: Happy TGIF 🙂

It’s grey/cool Summer day but was able to take li’l walk – got my 7 min of vitamin D on cloudy day!
Spotted this pretty lily:

Always something to catch attention around n’hood!

Raw Lasagna With Cilantro Pesto

Hi everyone – we’re home. Not quite as hot as the trip down but still quite warm and humid. Caught the ferry we were shooting for, getting to the terminal only about 15 minutes before it sailed.
At home we were greeted by 5 outdoor cats before we could get in to see our trio, all telling me all about their week. Leela and Comet were happy till they remembered to ignore us, and Mac is still in a slight feral state.
I love making lasagna! Yep, remove the cat from pan first! I hardly ever add meat – usually I make it with cheese and tomato sauce, or veggies and Alfredo sauce. That chocolate lasagna looks awesome!
Happy Anniversary Mr. & Mrs. ECB!
My brother is a retired Navy Commander. He’s not that tall, and enjoyed his career on subs. Yep, someone’s got to be at various percentiles, and if son wants to fly, things might be working out purrfectly!
Oh Dude, you little rascal! I store food in big containers too.
Such pretty flowers, JK! Nice to have such beauty as you take your break.
Hi Lagatta and Bumblebee! Lasagna with grilled veggies is a good idea. I have not visited the farmer’s market yet; Jersey corn should be just about ready, as well as cucumbers, zucchini and tomatoes.
Going to relax for a bit before unpacking. Might tackle the laundry a bit later when it’s cooler. We’re officially in a drought watch, which is always a concern for those of us with well water.

Good afternoon all, it’s been a cold and bleak Saturday so far but now the sun has come out for a short time before it sets.
ECB, Happy Anniversary to you both. I hope the Italian place is as good as you remember it being.

Lagatta yes we definitely are in the right season for lasagne and after seeing all the pics I now have a hankering to make one this coming week. It will be vege filled with minimum meat and cheese. There are plenty of ideas here today. I have a sauce recipe that uses cottage cheese – low fat is important.
AV, did I post a lasagne recipe? Oh do you know where? Shows how often I make it. Awwwwwww A’tuin and Bluebell sound like a wonderful couple, how sweet his attentions are. Go Abby ! ! Dude ! You little rascal. Sounds like KK’s Dara who would get into the pantry if it was ever left open and rip the tea bags apart and then her kibble bags.
BB, mmmmmm your lasagne is making me hungry. I just remembered I bought a vege spiraliser and can make zucchini noodles for the lasagne, that will give a different texture to it.
JK, those recipes are great, love the raw vege lasagne but I feel it might be messy eating it. Pretty flowers.
Welcome home JJ, awwww the outdoor cats missed you, that is sweet, and of course the indoor kits did too. Mac has just had his first time with Meowmy and Daddy away for so long, he will forgive you soon.
Speaking of the ‘g’ in lasagne I see that I spell it with an ‘e’ at the end while most if not all of you end it with an ‘a’.
Bitterly cold here now, brrrrrr.

Ricotta, like cottage cheese, also comes in different fat levels. Just check the container. I can’t eat most cow milk cheeses and find it easier to find goat’s or ewe’s milk ricotta than cottage cheese. In some European countries, you might also want to use Quark or fromage frais.

Moonshadow, I always say “lasagne” as it is a plural. One lasagna is a very wide, flat noodle. You don’t say I want spaghetto (one string-like noodle). Fettucine is also a plural. And the usage in English varies… I notice that I did use “lasagna” in one post, though I’d never say it, simply because I was responding to the so-called useless g.

Oxford uses lasagne, but gives lasagna as a variant (same pronunciation in English, though obviously this varies by country and region). Sorry if I’m a geek, but I make my laughable “living” being a language geek… http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/lasagne
