Shauna brought over a treat for dinner on actual Thanksgiving Day, Monday.
The lasagna was most excellent, mostly following the recipe that Sue used for many a year, but with a few little tweaks, such as substituting ricotta for some of the cottage cheese in Sue's recipe.
It was scrumptious, and by exercising a modicum of control, we had enough for a second meal. The wine will keep for another day.
There was some food exchange involved. Earlier, we had given her a apple crisp (pie), and we also passed on two slices of the pumpkin cheesecake from the restaurant turkey meal, which we didn't like a whole lot. I don't love pumpkin, and cheesecake is not Sue's fave.
We did use the turkey for sandwiches at lunch yesterday, and we will get one more full dinner out of it tonight.
All in all both the food and outings have been pretty good. Brace yourselves, for there are two more rambles to come before I am done with autumn colour posts, if indeed I am done then. You just never know. Eh?
Such a lovely gift!
ReplyDeleteIt looks and sounds like a perfect time! I love lasagna, and that batch looks especially good. Glad you had such as great Thanksgiving celebration. :-)
ReplyDeleteGood looking lasagna...I've got ingredients waiting to make a spinach lasagna...hope today is the day. The spinach is/was once fresh. I'm looking forward to some more good photos from you! You never fail!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE lasagna so that looks delicious. I think trading off food is a great way to have a treat since we're not eating out much these days. What is an apple crisp pie? I adore apple crisp but have never had it as a pie.
ReplyDeleteI do love lasagna.
ReplyDeleteHow sweet. It does look gook.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you're eating well.
ReplyDeleteLooks like one delicious Thanksgiving to me! :)
ReplyDeleteWe never know. :)
ReplyDeleteYUM!
ReplyDeleteI think that red would have paired well with the lasagna.
ReplyDeleteThat’s so wonderfully thoughtful of Shauna. The lasagne looks scrumptious and being able to have it for two nights make it even better.
