What did Kandan have for dinner?

Lasagna and Fresh Salad with Arkansas Wine

 

I am back, for those of you that have missed me for the passed couple of years.

On the menu this evening is lasagna, made with pork and tomatoes from right out my back door. We have discovered a few things making this dish as many times as we have. It is very important to have good tomato sauce. Pork tastes better than beef in this. You don’t have to use only mozzarella and ricotta cheeses.  Frequently we add bits of other cheese to clean up the fridge and we add cottage cheese to add creaminess. We also make this in large amounts and freeze pans of it for evenings when we don’t care to cook. If we have already made a mess of the kitchen, we may as well eat several times with this. It is excellent as left overs for lunches too.

The fresh salad is a mixture of what we had around. Some of it came from here, the tomatoes, cucumbers and onions. Romaine, broccoli, carrots and the rest came from the grocery. I am having it with chunky blue cheese dressing.

The wine is from Arkansas, and we like to support our local wineries. This one is from Mount Bethel and is labeled “Red”. It is made with Arkansas grapes. It has a very fruity scent, and has full body and is flavorful. It is sweet for our tastes. Georgiaberry and I usually like Merlots for red wine, but blends are sometimes surprising and we like that it is made from Arkansas grapes.
