Labor Day lasagna, anyone? An Italian New Yorker told me one of the secrets to great lasagna: Add Parmesan to the ricotta until it tastes like cheese. Letting it sit for a day or two in the fridge before eating goes without saying.

MargaretG 9yr Thx for the tip!! -
gessdiro 9yr Beautiful! Now try this... Male besciamella (bechamel) instead of ricotta! -
gessdiro 9yr Sorry, make. Not male.

kellydee 9yr I have made with bechamel but I prefer the texture of ricotta. Both are tasty though.
Tiny cup, slightly larger than espresso cups, just for hot chocolate: Valrhona Guanaja melted with half and half, a dash of salt and vanilla extract.

DietID_TeamDietitians This is the cup size used in India for chai! The concept of venti chai is so scary because of how decadent it is, so I love this built in portion control :)
-
kellydee I have the matching chocolate pot which is like a narrow coffee pot and three more cups. I found in an antique store years ago.

JenniferEmilson So pretty!!
Chicken larb: Mark Bittman's recipe from NYT. It was easy and tasty but I am not sure what the toasted ground rice adds.
-
kellydee Next time I'll skip the rice and give the chicken a quick stir fry instead.
-
DietID_TeamDietitians On a bed of lettuce?
-
kellydee Chicken larb is usually served in lettuce leaves. I like butter lettuce because the leaves form nice cups. Romaine is a good option too. It's like a lettuce wrap: low carb!
Fantastic 5 course tasting menu with wine pairings at Amisfield Winery in NZ. I loved the green lipped mussels and clams in a garlic butter sauce.
