Lasagna recipe

Lasagna

· 1 lb. sausage and/or ground beef

· 1 clove garlic

· 1 tbs. whole basil

· 1 ½ tsp salt

· 1 – 1 lb can of tomato sauce (2 cups)

· 12 oz tomato paste

· 10 oz lasagna noodles (I use 4 per layer for a total of 8)

· 3 cups cottage cheese (small curd, 1 large container = 3 cups)

· ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

· 2 tbsp. parsley flakes

· 2 beaten eggs

· 1 tsp salt

· ½ tsp pepper

· 1 lb Mozzarella cheese

Oven 375 degrees

Brown meat; drain off fat. Add next 5 ingredients. Simmer uncovered 30 minutes stirring occasionally. Cook noodles as directed on box. Mix next 6 ingredients.

Layer 9x13 inch pan – first, ½ noodles, then ½ cottage cheese mixture, then ½ meat, then ½ Mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers.

Bake for 30 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting.

You can assemble early (up to 24 hours) and refrigerate. Allow 15 mins or longer in oven if you have refrigerated the lasagna. Freezes well for future use.

Understanding

I am writing this letter so you can hopefully understand me better. I hide my emotion sometimes. I am like the moon. I have different faces. I tend to be the quiet type or in contrast I am not happy but sometimes I act it out in order for me to not burden my friends and family with my problems. I've faced some problems in your life. My heart has been dealt blows before . I tend to think about things a lot more than other people, and I get annoyed with people who act out without thinking about consequences. I am often the one people come to with their problems because I've been through plenty myself and I try to be understanding. I often feel lonely as if no one understands me. I often come of as relaxed when really I am not. I am usually logical, and rely on facts and information to make my decisions. I keep things to myself. This is just one side of me. I have different faces in different situations and environments just like the moon has phases. This is why I come off to you as different some times. Sorry!!! I hope we can reach a point of understanding somewhere. Maybe sometime you will actually know the entire me.

Laptop Crash

Well I’ve had my laptop for about 3 and 1/3 years, Today I was using my laptop when the fans suddenly started going at full speed and about a minute later the laptop abruptly shut down. I tried to restart it by pushing the power button but all that happened was the power light flickered and the hard drive light flickered as well. I also heard the hard drive click. This happens every time I try and start up the computer. Things that I have done include: take out battery, unplug power cord, and I also opened it up to make sure everything was connected and nothing looked bad (I’ve taken apart and fixed many computers so I know what I’m doing, but not laptops). Still doesn’t work. Any suggestions would be appreciated, right now I think it’s the motherboard, but I could be wrong. Thanks in advance!
