Layers…

The other day, my girl said that she would like to cook lasagna for lunch so when the mum went out one afternoon to pick up a few things, she asked her to buy a box of the lasagna sheets…

…and a packet of frozen minced beef.

That morning, she got down to work on it and as always, she did not want me to lend her a hand. I saw her chopping a Bombay onion, dicing  some carrot and blending a few tomatoes. I did not stick around to see what else she did.

Eventually, she got the filling ready so she could line the casserole with the lasagna sheets, spread the filling on them, add another layer of the pasta followed by the filling and it went on till there were enough layers. After that, she covered it all up with a generous topping of mozzarella cheese and put it in the oven to bake.

We did ask my sister to come over to our house to join us for lunch since we were having something special…

…that day.

Yes, it…

…was very nice. I particularly liked her own-made filling using fresh tomatoes so it did not taste like the ones outside which is more or less bolognese sauce that tastes like tomato ketchup straight from the bottle. I am never a fan of that.

That was a delightful lunch and we certainly had a lot of catching up to do – with the current MCO lockdown right now, we sure do not get to see one another so much.
