It's LASAGNE!!!!

Can you make Lasagne for an army? I can:


How about desert?


I decided on Wednesday "I need Lasagne for dinner this week". Since I always cook for a "homeless shelter" as the husband says I needed to invite friends and family to help eat it! The lasagne was seven layers, I made my sauce the night before and put the pasta etc. together the next day. I then decided we needed a light cool dessert afterwards. Fruit tart...hmmm. Pastry dough, sugar free vanilla pudding, Cool Whip Free, kiwi, bananas, Mandarin oranges and strawberries then drizzle lightly with Smuckers Chocolate syrup! Lets just say I managed to save some dessert leftovers (I hid some) but, the Lasagne is GONE!!!!!

On another note remember SIL birthday is the end of December. We went to the hunt camp and after permission from daughter I am grateful to say I am being allowed to post these pics. We had an awesome time. The hunt camp looks more like a house in the woods and has 99% of the real home amenities. G-son still pees outside! Must be a boy thing. Running around playing really hard, stops, hunts down the perfect tree then right back to running around. LOL How many times have us girls thought "must be nice to just go pee without toilet tissuing the seat, hanging our purse from our necks and praying the paper holder works and no one has gone in before us to drop a bomb"! Oh well I can only say God had plan for women and it didn't include "finding the perfect tree".

And now for some pics:


Notice to the left g-daughter #1 ALWAYS manages to sneak in a picture!


G-daughters 1 and 2 and me


G-pop and the terrorists


SIL looking for an oxygen tank after blowing out candles on two cakes. His mom made a chocolate everything cake and a German chocolate cake that I have to admit was awesome enough for me to be "little pig, little pig" and eat two pieces! Yummmm!

An afterthought:
My MIL and I delight in sending each other "different" Christmas presents every year. I'm the only DIL who will step out of box and buy what I consider awesome shit! This year I sent her a galvanized bucket that had the ugliest face molded on it in cement that you use as an outside planter. Unfortunately at the time I wasn't smart enough to take a picture. But trust me. I called husband from a craft show and said "honey, can I send your mom an ugly-ass planter for Christmas"? His response..."uh, I guess so". Well in turn she sent me the following which I promptly hung up over my entertainment center in the LR for ALL to see as they came in. I love him! Husband and I arm wrestled over whether it should be hung there. He was thinking a back room. But, my personality was screaming for "full entertainment value". What do you guys think...


Next Christmas I will give him a red nose and hang tiny balls from his antlers.
He is a "12-point" and from his smile you can tell he "died" happy! I love him and I will call him Gerald!
