THIS recipe, which I found over at A Cozy Kitchen.
Lemon, Chard, and Spicy Sausage Lasagna
This is HER finished product, not mine. I'll show you mine (heh) but I thought you'd be more tempted to make it yourself if you saw this image first. |
Also, I cooked the whole thing dressed in nothing but an apron, so even if it wasn't good, Brad wouldn't notice. Date night win!
Things I learned while cooking:
1. This is chard.
Chard is delightfully easy to cut through, and it is sort of satisfying to see chard shards scattered across your counter when you don't manage to scoop everything up and put it in your sauce. It makes you feel healthy, and you can forget that the rest of your meal consists of carbs, cream, butter, and sausage.
2. Sausage has casings, and if you want to cook it up all nice like, you remove the clear, nearly invisible casing, an act which feels obscene, like you're violating a sausage. And then when you mash it all up, you feel kind of bad for the little guy. (What, is this just me?)
3: Sometimes it would be okay to make a little more sauce than the recipe calls for because it's delicious and I didn't think I had quite enough in the end. Next time, I'll use four cups of milk and adjust the flour and butter accordingly.
4. When you cook in only an apron, your boyfriend will bring you wine whenever you request it. But ladies, for safety sake, wear one of these:
And not just one of these, cute as it may be:

Oh, right, the big reveal:
Okay, not so impressive, but it WAS really good, and Brad didn't really look at it anyway.
Very nice. And wise of you do to a casserole. Grilling/Frying in only an apron (or less) is far too dangereaux.
