| Week 2 |
So as my week wound to a close, and I had no idea or any real desire to cook, but I didn't want to break my new year's resolution so close to the beginning of the year (which would be shameful, indeed). So I looked through my Cooks Illustrated magazine from a few years ago (and which I haven't cooked much from, but have drooled over recipes).
So I chose a spinach lasagna, which uses no-boil noodles. Easy enough. Yes, it was easy...
 But...to grate 8 ounces of fontina cheese? Not to mention about a cup and half of parmesan? UUUGH. Then I had to rinse, and stem 20 ounces of spinach leaves, mince a cup of shallots (enduring those awful stinging tears), and garlic. Add blending cottage cheese with egg. Oy vey. After I cooked my lasagna, I had to laugh at the fact that it takes about half an hour to cook the dish, but like an hour to prep everything. WHAT A PAIN IN THE NECK.
But. I digress.
It was yummy. Even my mom, who hates cheese, loved it.
So maybe it was worth it. Though thinking back, I should have taken pictures of the entire messy, arm-sore enducing process of grating cheese.  |
