Hey there!

This time I'm not out for a adventure in a restaurant. No! This time I did cook myself and god it was awesome. Ok.. where do I start. Last week I had my friend Sarah over and we decided to have a good time and cook and eat whatever we want.

We decided to make various meals... of which I'd like to share some pictures with you guys.

First of, we started with a receipt of my home country... Italy.

WARNING - IF YOU ARE HUNGRY - YOU BETTER DON'T OPEN THE SPOILERS!

LASAGNA!

+ Show Spoiler +

You have been warned.

Cut smoked bacon into little pieces

[image loading]

Same with 2 pieces of celery a carrot and an onion

[image loading]

Put the bacon in a pot first and fry it until it gets a bit crispy

[image loading]

Add the rest (celery, carrot, onion and later (~7 minutes in this case) hacked tomatos (800g) a bit of water

[image loading]

Let it cook for a bit.. and add hacked parmigiano reggiano and basil

[image loading]

Now let it cook for 45 minutes on low heat. and you are ready to prepare it with the individual layers. For me its sauce, lasagna noodle-layer, crème fraîche with pepper salt and a bit of parmigiano reggiano... and repeat it.

Should look somewhat like this:

Put it in the preheated oven!

AWESOME! - the topping by the way is not gouda like a lot of people use it to bake, its parmigiano as well

NEXT IS - MEATLOAF with fucking awesome stewpot

+ Show Spoiler +

Start with hacking the onion

Fry them

Prepare the meat!... and form it into something you like...

Now put it into the preheated oven for 30 minutes

Preparing the stewpot

[image loading]

Frying!

[image loading]

Adding hacked tomatoes and chickpeas

[image loading]

Cook it for a while and add it around the meatloaf and top everything with bacon

[image loading]

Its ready when the bacon is golden and the stewpot is boiling just a bit

[image loading]

EAT!!!!!

THOSE ARE NOT STEP BY STEP RECEIPTS! If you want I can post them step by step... and in detail! Part 2 incoming (can't use bold anymore!)

If opportunity ever allows... you and I should have a judged meatloaf-cooking competition to see who's is better! It will probably be me. I'm confident in my meatloaf. :3

You might have the better meatloaf between us, but this is a recipe of Jamie Oliver :D! We should cook together and make an awesome Teamliquid EAT AS MUCH AS YOU CAN MEATLOAF party.

Detailed recipes when I'm at home and slept (after nightshift....)

As a great man once said "if don't know how to cook, you don't know how to fuck.". It's a movie director btw

.

The lasagna looks awesome. I've never been a fan of meatloaf but anything wrapped in bacon is usually good.

Holy hell, you're using creme fraiche on Lasagna O_O Do you make it yourself?

I actually just started making my scrambled eggs with creme fraiche and/or buttermilk ( dependent on what I have available ). Both are like automatic 100% improvement in terms of fluffiness and taste I think.

I got the latter idea from this:

I'm not doing it myself ;-)! I don't like scrambled eggs with milk in it.. it makes it more fluffy but also a bit more "wet". I really don't like it that way :D! To everyone its own, I guess
