Attempted home-made lasagna for the first time ever. The top layer of lasagna sheets had to be thrown due to being stuck to the foil, even though I definitely coated them in oil to prevent that. :confused: Cheese is burned at the top. Could be a disaster, but I'm going to taste it to find out for sure.

I did taste it. The cheese is a little burned, so next time I'll reduce the time or the temperature of the cooking. Apart from that, delicious! All those hours of cooking has paid off. :D

Never heard of that woman, but I'll keep an eye out if I think of it. :)

I believe the middle part is okay, but the outer edges are burned a bit. I don't care, really, because it seemed to have tasted good anyway. :)

I'm jealous of your literal ability to bake; my student flat has no oven! I'm thinking of trying to concoct a recipe for pizza, only using a frying pan :D

I've heard of toaster pizza, but it may not be as good. :) That sucks that you have no oven. ::(: I guess you have to make do with what you've got.

The lasagna was a raging success. Didn't taste burned and everyone loved it. The ricotta cheese was the best ingredient, personally. Would definitely make again.

Yeah, having no oven is annoying, because I would probably just roast a chicken and use that for most of the week.

Nice success on the lasagne. I think I tried making one before, but it overflowed or collapsed or something, making it look like a modern art piece. The taste was still good though. I have to go easy on the cheese, my digestie system doesn't find it very agreeable.

I assume you would have very little money to burn, so that's not a bad idea. Kind of a bummer, though, since Melbourne is the food capital of Australia! I was there a couple of weeks ago and we went to a few restaurants that were just divine.

They're easy to stuff up, to be honest, as there's a lot that goes into it. At least it still tasted good. :)

Oh, I'm not in Melbourne at the moment, I'm doing a univeristy exchange in Rotterdam for 4 months. I could actually spend way more money than I do now, but I like being resourceful because I hate wasting money on food products you don't use. It's also a laziness thing because I don't want to carry a lot of grocceries home ::p:. What I do is just buy a couple of core ingredients and make variations on meals for the week. This week its egg plant.

Oh, right! I hope you enjoy it there!

You're right that it's good to be resourceful like that. Eggplant is supposed to be very healthy and I am hopeless at cooking it, but I hope you manage to make good variations with it. If possible, post pictures of your creations. :)
