resourceful or insane? you be the judge!
Tonight we made lasagne for dinner, using up a large Ziploc bagful of leftover vegetarian spaghetti sauce from Baitcon, 2 zucchini and a bunch of chard from noire's farmshare the other week, some broccoli that was on its way out, one of many boxes of lasagne noodles that have been living in the cabinet for like 2 years, not to mention a head of garlic, some mushrooms, some faux ground beef and faux chicken chunks, and some shredded cheese also leftover from Baitcon. We made a fair bit of space in the fridge in the process and now have plenty of leftover food for several meals to come.
However, it was about 85F outside at the time and very humid, and our kitchen is stupidly hot in summer and gets almost no cross-ventilation. This meant slaving over a hot stove for 30-40 minutes even before we could put the lasagne in the 375F oven for an hour.
So, on the one hand? Tasty food. On the other? SAUNA-KITCHEN OF DOOM.
