Baked haddock and cheesy broccoli rice, maybe a salad if the bag-o-salad hasn't walked it's way out of the fridge yet, otherwise some other form of veggie.

I found an easy way to get your own no-bake lasagna noodles.  I've actually been doing it for years, just because I hated touching those slimy cooked noodles. :(

Just soak the noodles in warm water in the lasagna pan while you're making the fixings.  By the time that's done, the noodles are perfect. Not slimy, but work good, I just make sure my tomato mixture is pretty saucy.

Gosh, I haven't made lasagna in awhile, sounds good.    :drool:

I have used regular lasagna noodles for as long as I can remember with out boiling them first.  I have an easy recipe that my Mom gave me that calls for un-cooked lasagna noodles and that is what I have used.  I think you add a little water to the sauce and it steams the noodles.

I have seen the devise advertised on TV and sold at wallmart that is a simple plastic clear tube with a screw top.   One places pasta into the tube and adds hot water.  By follwing directions for the timing one has perfectly cooked pasta without having to man handle a gallon of boiling water.

The cost of this devise is around $20.00, the cost of a plastic container with a top that is made to hold other food is around $5.00.   So I experimented and these cheap containers that work just as well.   I do question how the use of very little water can change the taste or nutrition of a pasta product.

We had cedar plank BBQ rainbow trout, that I caught, no damn "swai".    :fuelfire:

We had 8oz ground round burgers that I marinated in worchestershire sauce for about 10 minutes, topped with barely melted Carolina Blue cheese (got it at the Asheville Farmer's Market - it's white cheddar and bleu combined  :drool:) set on top of sauteed mushrooms and onions on a bed of buttered linguine. Romaine with blush wine vinegrette on the side.

I've been watching "Chopped" on the Food Channel.... :-)
Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....

Save the Earth... it's the only planet with chocolate.

Wow, an 8 oz. burger?  You have good appetites and must have active lifestyles for certain!  Good on ya, I remember when I could eat anything and everything!  Then not so much as an old fart.   :p

Enjoy for me  :cheersmate:

I also enjoy Food Network's competition shows (except that stupid cake one).

I only ate half of mine.

I bought them already made from Sam's fresh meat department. They are really good.

I really want to try fried mac and cheese, but it's not something I have lying around.  It just looks so good.

Damn you, Food Network.
