Logistical issues

[mousme]

I'm making myself lasagna, and I just realized that my noodles are longer than my lasagna dish. *sigh* I think I'll cheat by cooking the noodles and then cutting about half an inch off the ends, rather than abandon the whole proceedings.

The whole house smells of cooking garlic and onions. Good thing I just had breakfast.

I need another cooking icon. This one is better suited to outdoors-type campfire cooking, rather than indoor cooking.

I have bananas ripening on the counter. I shall make banana bread this weekend. I love making banana bread. It's ridiculously easy, and so very delicious once baked.

Today I shall head out early to go grocery shopping. I have a few staples to buy, and I want to get as much stuff for Sunday as possible, except for the Cornish hens, because I'd like to get those fresh. If I have time (like, say, three hours or so) on Saturday, I shall try my hand at wild rice with raisins and almonds. However, it's a very time-consuming recipe, if memory serves.

Cutting the noodles after cooking are exactly the right thing to do.

Is it a square dish? If so, only boil 9 instead of 12 noodles.

Cutting them after cooking... brilliant. I usually snap the dry noodles to the correct length, but this can sometimes result in a splintered noodle.

Mmm, lasagna. Now look what you've done.

cutting them is the right thing to do, though I would try to use the ends in the lasagne. You can't use them on the top layer as that will look funny, but you can't tell in the middle.

Banana bread, mmmmmm. I love the stuff, though I have trouble getting the very center most bit cooked. I keep thinking it is the glass pan or something. I cook it forever. It must just be the density of the batter or something.

I am with you on the getting as much shopping done ahead of time as possible. I do that for Thanksgiving and Xmas. I get as much of the non perishables as I can just as soon as the holiday sales start up, so that I only have a few things to pick up "last minute".
