The Hell Of Lasagna (A Mini-Series), Day 4: Eat It
We ate it. Everybody, even the picky people in my family (i.e. everyone) loved it, which makes it a Miracle Food. After all the days of prepping (click for details of Day 1, Day 2 or Day 3), this was an excellent result. My friend Jeffery had told me that if the lasagna verde at L.A.’s Angelini Osteria is the Gelsey Kirkland of lasagna, his is the “’57 Buick, or at least the Ethel Merman.” Okay, so not lighter than air, but it satisfies.
I will admit that I screwed up the layering, sort of forgeting where I was in the middle (wait, what comes next? sauce or chicken?), but this is a forgiving recipe (anc crabby cooks are always in need of forgiveness). In fact (and I never thought I’d say this), I might make lasagna again (some time before the turn of the century). No, I mean it.

Blogging like this is one of the many reasons why I love you, Jessica Harper!
I’ve been inspired t go make a lasagne now – of course it will be store bought sauce and ground beef and take maybe 2 hours… but that’s me. I swear I’ll try the home made sauces another day (I’ve never made a tomato sauce from scratch – oi, the guilt). Thanks for the smiles.

A chicken lasagna!?! Who’d have thunk it?
I totally agree that lasagna can be a pain to make, but by God it sure does taste good when it’s done well.
