Having the chef moods into my heart again, feeling to cook something on the Monday afternoon while not working. Cass, Alice and my brother Caleb thought is a good idea, since i already make myself a promise to cook lasagna on my Australia trip.


Daddy suggested we use Ross home and with the permission of Jojo haha. In the morning itself my brother suddenly tell Jojo we gonna cook dinner for them, i was like -.-" sweat.. because i never thought to make so many as a lunch, I just hope it will be enough for them. Well started of by going to the "Foodland" Robe's market. Thinking if here has all the ingredient i needed, but yea it does just the packaging is different especially the Cream Cheese.

After reaching Ross and Jojo home, it was so beautiful, design by themselves and what to say? Jojo is super creative with the art work. At first feeling a bit not use to cook someone else houses, especially I not really close with. At that time, i asking where is the stove, oil, salt and etc, i felt a bit shame, but as time pass, I told myself, i won't able to cook something tasty if i kept thinking like that, so shamelessly, I kept doing what i do best haha, taking charge.

While cooking for an hour or more, I could see all of them are hungry, I felt a bit nervous and did some mistake like forgetting to put beacon and mis-calculated the flour for cream. But quickly i corrected my mistake and consume a bit more time and poof I done it ^^ and they all love the lasagna i made, Ross even take 3 round and the rest have second round, Ross even said "Don should put this on the menu" haha and Alice answered," but who gonna cook then?" Well this is a encouragement to me :)

After lunch, Ross showed us his piano skill and I pretty amaze! not because of his hand is playing but his leg!? How? because is a Automatic Piano, just put the music scroll and it play by itself haha. We really enjoy our time. Moggol and Molly was there to, Molly playing "Tag of war" and "fetch" with me, and she never get tired phew.. -.-

We left Ross and Jojo house after that, and went to Jetty and West-Beach for a walk, today is a nice day as the summer have pass and town is quieter now.

Recipe For Lasagna V.David

• Olive oil/ vegetable oil

• 250g/1 can of buttons mushrooms
• 125g of ham, slices
• 500g meat (chicken/bacon/beef/seafood)
• 250g of cream cheesev

• and mozarella cheese
• salt and pepper ( to taste)

white sauce

• 40g butter
• 40g flour/potato starch
• 600ml milk

How to make

1. Heat the oil in a frying pan, fry onion and garlic for 3 minutes (moderate heat). Add mushroom and cook for 2 minutes; now add the meat and stir it.
2. After few minutes add cream cheese and few tbsp of milk to make it moist. heat until the cheese melt. Season with salt, pepper. Add tomato paste to colour it to a bit red.
3. when it done, put it aside

White sauce:

1. melt the butter in a saucepan and stir in flour/starch. cook gently with low heat.
   
2. Slowly whisk with milk, by pouring milk slowly
   
3. Keep whisking all the time until thick and smooth.
4. sprinkles some cheese and season it with salt and pepper.

Assemble the lasagna

1. Usually I cooked 6 slices of lasagna noodles on one oven proof dish
2. first layer, spread some white sauce below and then cover it with first later of lasagna
3. put the cooked meat on top of the lasagna noodles and some cheese over it.
   
4. On the last layer, cover the white sauce on top of the noodle and pour mozzarella cheese and other cheese.
5. put in the oven about 220F for 20min-30min. or until brown

and it is done!! you can now have you own lasagna make by u! U! U! yourself. and duh.... even i didn't mention just now. You have to cook the lasagna noodle in a boiling water with salt and oil.
