Lasagna
Whoa, I did not know that sauce should not have onions. What about spaghetti sauce? I make the good ol' ground beef type of sauce when I do spaghetti and lasagna. Sometimes I do make the vegetarian version but I still use onions. I think I'll try w/out next time.
What is the taboo with onions? Is the flavor much different or is it a texture thing?
I don't use onions in my pizza sauce, though.

It's only recently that I actually put some cream into my mashed potatoes.
Man, what a difference! Maybe I'll do the Perfect Mashed Potatoes just because it's T-giving.

Or maybe it could be where you throw the lasagna down on people who have pissed you off?

Perfect Mashed Potatoes.
Went to the store today and bought half and half. I think I'll feel less guilty about using that in the recipe!

Pumpkin pie brulee sounds good, but I don't have one of those blow torch thingies and broiling them scares me to death!
McDonald's Cheeseburger vs. McDouble vs. Double Cheeseburger
Hilarious.
I just happen to be eating a McD's Cheeseburger right now! I missed lunch and had the hubby bring me one, well actually two, to work.
Tastes pretty good when you're really hungry!

Brussel sprouts with bacon.
My hubby saw Robert Irvine on FN last night making Brussels sprouts w/ bacon and cranberries and said "YUM"
Maybe I oughta try that!

Stiil have to say the Potato Gratin with Porcini Mushrooms and Mascarpone Cheese.
Win a Free Organic D'Artagnan Turkey
Those decadent mashed potatoes sound great! So much cream...

Potato Gratin with Porcini Mushrooms and Mascarpone Cheese, from 'Bon Appétit'!
I may use Portabello mushrooms instead, but this sounds like something good for a change-up.
Lobster or King Crab Legs: Which do you prefer?
Definitely crab! Love it.
And now the cake dilemma...c'est finalement l'ennui gateau
Jerzee- I like this cake. Made it and many people were impressed!
What's cooking off the beaten trail in Santa Fe, NM?
Tune-up Cafe on Hickox Street near De Vargas Mall-yummy.
Harry's Roadhouse on Old Las Vegas Highway.
Il Piatto on Marcy Street downtown-Kinda high priced, but more reasonable for lunch.
Can't forget Bobcat Bite on Old Las Vegas Highway.
Joe's Diner on Rodeo Road is good, too. Over Easy Cafe is in the same area and is good for breakfast.
Posa's does really good tamales. There are a few locations in Santa Fe.
Dinner Tonight: Pork Patties with Lime Leaves and Cilantro
Thanks, Blake! Pictures just can't get things like juiciness and aroma to us, unfortunately. Somehow, though, I managed to not notice the 1/4 pound of bacon in there. That definitely changes things!
Dcarl1's dipping sauce sounds good, too.

It might be me, but those just look a little weird. Maybe if they had some sort of sauce or gravy with them...
Cook the Book: 'New Classic Family Dinners'
Homemade veggie beef soup. It's such a comfort food to everyone and lasts more than a few meals. (and gets better tasting after a day or two)
praise for PBS
My PBS station is always changing the lineup. It bugs me, especially when they remove one of my favs.
America's Test Kitchen is the only one they haven't messed with.
It's Fall but these loose-"leaf" recipes are outta control
Mine are in page protectors in my binder. I need a bigger binder, though!
Or more binders. @moibec-I like the organizing idea. Some day I may have the time to do that with my recipes.
Toaster Oven Inquiry
Cuisinart's convection toaster oven is great.
I use my every day and I love it.
Soup Emergency - Cream or no cream??
I've never had trouble with adding cream to the entire pot and reheating.
Milk is always problematic, but cream can stand up, I think.
Bewitching in the kitchen! What's for dinner 10/27, Tuesday?
Sliced avocado, pico de gallo, sour cream, and cheese on warmed flour tortillas. We call them avocado tacos and usually eat them on Fridays during Lent. Good stuff.
The family that eats together...What's for dinner 10/25 Sunday??
Found snow crab legs at $4.99/lb. yesterday. Bought three pounds. So I guess we'll have that. Hopefully they won't be over-salty.
Also I want to make keftedes (Greek meatballs) to serve on pitas. I've never tried that before, but I found some recipes to draw from.
Dinner Tonight: Chilaquiles Verdes
Finally, a recipe for a Mexican dish that doesn't call for cumin (or comino)!
Thank you, this sounds good.
hamburger contents?
I'm with Alosha...
Don't get it.
Maybe we should start an Obtuse Club?

@marylobb- Good idea by your husband. Let us know what you find out.

Lasagna
OH congratulations. I am so glad you have a great meal and now you won't ever be afraid to lasagne anymore. BRAVA!!!
Lasagna
okay i made it last night and it was a huge hit. i used the no-boil noodles, which cooked to al dente in the oven. i made my mother's tomato sauce but using more tomato paste than she does, and cooked it down until it was quite reduced. i also didnt use as much sauce. i roasted eggplant and zucchini for one layer, added mushrooms to the sauce, and made a layer with spinach sauteed in garlic. the ricotta was perfect, definitely thanks to the eggs that i added. thanks so much for all of the advice everyone, it was awesome!
