Home Raw Home

After two days of madness, we arrived home at 4:00 am this morning.  (We tried to leave Zihuatanejo at 11:00 am AK time on Saturday).  As many of you know, airplanes and airports are not raw friendly environments.  I was stoked to get home and get busy in the kitchen!

On the drive home, we stopped in Wasilla at around 2:30 am for groceries.  I was in la-la land, but managed to overflow a cart with produce.  Unbeknownst to me at the time, I somehow purchased everything I would need to make Lasagna Magnifica from Delightfully Raw.  Under normal conditions, this dish would have intimidated me, but how could I not try it when I had all the ingredients at my beck and call, including this lovely live basil:


The lasagna layer ingredients were surprisingly easy to assemble.  I used the blender four times, not even washing it in between.  The only hard part involved the zuke noodles, as I don't have a good mandolin to create thin strips.  When I tried to spread the Not Meat the zukes were squirming all over the place.  Tricky.  The resulting dish was not particularly pretty, but it tastes epic!  TH gave the lasagna 5 out of 5 stars!  

Don't be scared!  Try me!  

Of course, I was also super excited to hit these babies:

Question:  Do you grow your own herbs? I used to, but the pots gave birth to millions of pesky little gnats.  Anyone had that happen before?
