Sad but true. Seems Tink and my mom have been discussing my life lately. It also seems that Tink has been mentioning it to another 'family member' - Harvey that is. I owe Contagion for getting her started. He asked for some "dirt on me" and she is hunting for it. Only thing going for me is that she was not around when I was a teenager and in college.
But the latest is to show that this mom isn't perfect. Ricotta cheese and garlic. Those ingredients will live with me forever.
It started when I asked mom if I could make dinner for a boyfriend. I could bake cookies, cakes and make fudge... I certainly could cook a dinner - right? Don't answer that yet. I decided I wanted to make Lasagna. Asked Mom for the recipe. Got a list of ingredients and went shopping. I couldn't find ricotta cheese. When I got home, I told mom about it. She told me to get started and she would go get me some. Well... when she got home I asked her if she had anymore garlic. Yep, you might guess where this is going. It called for 3 cloves of garlic. I only found 2. Mom then stated that she had 2 bulbs of garlic. Uhhh. Bulbs? What is a bulb versus a clove? Yes people, I made the lasagna with 2 bulbs of garlic. 1 bulb is about 10 cloves ... I put in about 20 cloves of garlic when it called for 3.
And yes we ate it.

Wow! That's some serious lasagna!!! Bet y'all had nice breath for weeks, huh? Hahahaha!
Lasagna was the first dinner I made too. Then I got called in to work early (at my fast food job) and missed dinner! But my parents brought me some at work when it was done.
SWEET! I bet that was awesome to eat!
I love garlic. Your lasagna sounds delicious!
Yummy! Lasagna was my first meal as well.
You were subconsciously warding this suitor off.
I can't believe how many people choose Lasagna....
when my then fiance asked me 'if you could have anything for dinner, what would it be?'I chose lasagne...
He ended up calling is bro and sis-in-law over who cooked it, and instead of a romantic dinner, we had company!
Hoo boy... no vampires at your house that night! :)
I love garlic, so I must ask... was it good?
I liked it enough to eat the whole amount over the next week. But I sweated garlic, breathed garlic for a while. I have never made it with that much again. Partly because I hated peeling all those little cloves.
That actually sounds yummy! :-)
