Esplanade Lasagna

Not sure if I am not used to Canadian prices but the Dominion on the Esplanade seems to be outrageously expensive and the queue to pay for your groceries insanely long. AK says this is b.c. everyone wants to do their grocery shopping Sunday night but I think it is probably just bad service. Tip 1: Go to the bakery cashier tucked in the back to escape the pain. Tip 2: Dominion, get on it - pick up your heels!

As you see AK made a vegetable lasagna with the no-bake lasagna sheets, I like the idea of them but I recall my mom making lasagna and it being such a lengthy process which needed skill. She would boil the sheets making sure not to over cook them and make them perfect for the layering process, then she would wipe off excess water with a graceful motion with her hands, lay them to dry a little and then layer them being careful not to rip them etc. etc. Now all you do is plop them in the pan, ladle your ready made sauce on top, add cheese and bake. Pretty easy and requires less pots and washing up :)

Well it was a nice evening filled with lots of 1990s dance moves and as you can see AK almost lost his lasagna when trying to display it for the camera prob b.c. it came in with a dance move! Note to self: deny him any job as a food stylist if he offers as this is what his meal ended up looking like. But it was yummy! Thx!

First off Lisa

It's A2 da K

Second

Why didn't you talk about that marvelous salad you made...with the over size lettuce leaves and the miniscule droplets of vinegrette dressing...do I look like Roger Rabbit to you sista!

Lastly, any good prep chef knows that my plate is an abstract classic...known in the industry as "caca on a plate"
