I think I'll try the normal ones without cooking them first ... I am nothing if not adventurous in the kitchen! ("My god ... is he MAD?

This sounds like something I may need to try (though I may have a hard time convincing people that it's traditional Irish cuisine ...).The Dead Acornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07181757029391161049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4759432440437112051.post-52987992990704261952013-02-09T04:59:13.820-08:002013-02-09T04:59:13.820-08:00It's neither Lasagna or a Lasagna but "An...It's neither Lasagna or a Lasagna but "An Lasagne" surely? We don't put noodles in ours whatever they are - we use pasta sheets - and they don't need to be precooked, we just throw em in between the meat and cheese and white sauce layers... but maybe I'm thinking of something completely different?! <br />She's a talented doggie for sure.Niamh Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06519443787482685320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4759432440437112051.post-85242453893833822812013-02-07T06:31:04.396-08:002013-02-07T06:31:04.396-08:00Bug - I've learned to put the sauce on the bac...Bug - I've learned to put the sauce on the back burner and surround it by other pots and pans. Cleaning up a kitchen floor covered in sauce is something I only want to do once. I was making chicken pasta salad a couple of weeks ago, and had a bowl full of spiral noodles and veggies mixed up. She stood at the counter and got all the noodles out, leaving most of the veggies, and not spilling the bowl. She's quite talented, in a horrifying kind of way.The Dead Acornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07181757029391161049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4759432440437112051.post-7466515714498615502013-02-06T17:29:59.503-08:002013-02-06T17:29:59.503-08:00NOODLES?
