Homemade Lasagna

Friday, 9 March 2012

Karrie and i decided to make homemade lasagna the other day, using her uncle's recipe. Here is everything set out and ready to go.

Browning the ground beef.

Layering of the second row, we used No-Boil noodles which made the recipe a lot easier.

Lots of cheese on top of the noodles and sauce.

Cover with aluminum foil then it's ready to go in the oven, 450ºF for an hour.

All done and out of the oven.


The first piece.

It turned out great.

Working in the Snow

Sunday, 19 December 2010

Last week for work i went to Michigan's upper peninsula and Wisconsin to survey cell phone towers. It reached record low temps in some areas and lots of snow. I also saw 5 bald eagles over the entire trip. Here's the 48 sites that we surveyed. There were 8 of us that went on the trip.
Crossing in to the U.P.
A view of a cell phone tower from one of the cable wires
I realized after the first day that the boots i usually wear to walk on the roads weren't going to cut it, even with the hotel's "boot" dryer.
I ended up spending more then i planned on a pair of really nice winter boots that said they were good to -94 degrees. Fortunately it didn't get that cold, it only got down to -20 degrees, a record low in the town in Wisconsin. The boots turned out to be really warm and comfortable.
Dogs like following us through the snow and woods.
There were lots of iced over trees.
This was on some guys mailbox.
Wisconsin. They have cheese and food.

And here's some other pictures from the trip.

Kitchen Stuff

Thursday, 9 September 2010

I've eaten at Boston's Restaurant a few times and ordered their crispy fish-taco. It's really good so i tried making it. Here's what theirs looks like.
They use feta cheese which i didn't have so i used blue cheese. Then i cut up lettuce and tomatoes which i got from the garden

I also added Russian Dressing, Thousand Island Dressing and onions. It was pretty good.


I also painted the table legs, i think the color was metallic brown.
