OK i WILL HAPPILY SHARE MY ABSOLUTE FAV VEGGIE LASAGNA!!! I serve it with Zinfandel wine at room temp, nice balsamic vinegar dressing salad and garlic french bread. ALWAY A HIT, great for buffet too, be sure to use a strainer to get extra liquids out of veggie mixture. Tastes great and can prep day before and cook right before eating, but add xtra 15 or so minutes cooking time or let go to room temp before putting into the oven. As always, ENJOY! While a specific "Mast Farm Inn" recipe isn't readily available, a popular version features roasted zucchini, eggplant, peppers, mushrooms, and spinach with a homemade marinara and ricotta filling, layered with no-boil noodles and plenty of mozzarella, often using a béchamel sauce for extra richness, emphasizing fresh herbs like basil and parsley. Key steps include roasting vegetables first, making a simple sauce, preparing the ricotta mix, layering everything with sauce, noodles, veggies, ricotta, mozzarella, and baking until bubbly and golden brown. Ingredients (Generalized) Vegetables: Zucchini, eggplant, bell peppers, mushrooms, FRESH spinach, shallots/onion, garlic, fresh basil, parsley. Sauce: Olive oil, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, red wine (optional), Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper. Ricotta Filling: Whole milk ricotta, eggs, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, fresh basil. Cheese: Mozzarella (shredded), Parmesan. Pasta: No-boil lasagna noodles. (Optional Béchamel: Butter, flour, milk, nutmeg, salt, pepper.) I DO NOT DO THIS PART imho ricotta and cheese is enough no need for bechamel Instructions (General Steps) Roast Vegetables: Toss chopped zucchini, eggplant, peppers, and mushrooms with olive oil, salt, pepper, and basil; roast until tender and slightly browned. OR sauté in large pan until tender when almost ready, add spinach, then STRAIN extra liquid. Make Marinara: Sauté onions/garlic, add tomatoes, paste, seasonings, and simmer. Prepare Ricotta: Mix ricotta, eggs, Parmesan, herbs, salt, and pepper. IF ROASTING VEGGIES, Boil Spinach: then strain out extra liquid Assemble: Spread sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Layer noodles, then ricotta, veggies (including spinach), sauce, and mozzarella. Repeat layers, finishing with sauce and a generous topping of mozzarella and Parmesan. Bake: Bake at 350-375°F (covered initially, then uncovered) until bubbly and golden, about 45-65 minutes. Let it rest before serving.

back in college, one of my best friends got married (we were in Lexington Kentucky) ... we ALL (everyone who attended the wedding) brought our own Maker's Mark Bourbon bottle... IT WAS hilarious all those bottles at the reception tables. ALL of us drank bourbon and coke... lol What a silly silly fun as all get out wedding that was. They stayed happily married until he died of liver cancer - bummer.

I just watched that post again, I laughed so much I am crying... these games are so silly. I will be playing it in Nov/Dec as much as possible, who knows, but for all playing, NOOB alert, easy kill, till I get used to it.

HOWDY!!!!!!!!! Woot woot, does that mean you are going to start playing COD4 with us? Oh, and what a lovely picture of that pretty BIRD!

HOW WONDERFUL!!! How adorable!

Rob, just stop being a mean person, problem solved.

I lived in VA near DC ... that day changed our lives forever. Like FDR said after Pearl Harbor, a day that will live in infamy... HELL OF A THING. May humans find their way out of the war-like beings we are. and evolve to be wiser, better, kinder, smarter.

Since I cannot yet play BF6 (until Nov) I have been going to You Tube to see it in action, I MUST SAY (maybe I have a sick sense of humor) IT LOOKS HILARIOUS! I WANT TO PLAY!!!! So I watched this and it was funny so I am sharing.
