Guests for Dinner

Anna and Maurice came over for dinner on Christmas. It was supposed to be lasagna… Despite having seen ricotta cheese in the stores previously, we were unable to find it. No matter. At least I had real cheese from America, via the commissary. Even though the cheese says its mozzarella here, it’s weird, and very expensive. So I went to make it the day before, opened the lasagna noodles and thought, ‘hmmmm…. That’s weird I didn’t know that these noodles had spices….” Yeah, they had bugs in them. So that led me onto a major cleaning spree and us having baked ziti for Christmas dinner instead. A big success though, I actually baked cookie bars and they weren’t burnt. Our toy stove has no temp. gauge so I just sat in the kitchen and read a book while they baked.
