HAPPY SWISS NATIONAL DAY
Unfortunately though, this year Lee is working night shift, and there doesn't seem to be much of a Swiss community here in 'German' Kitchener, so no raclette party for us this year. I was originally planning a'thing' at our place but alas, that fell through, just like Australia day celebrations. Never mind. I have to tell you though, I would give anything to be in Switzerland right now, we really miss it.
So today's food!
I had half a grapefruit for breakfast. No news there really.
After I ate that I got busy in the kitchen making Lee a lasagne, which I tend to do every time he is on night shift. She is a beauty, she is loaded with meat, veg, and $8 of Gruyère cheese. The white sauce is so buttery, so creamy, so nutmeggy it makes my head spin just a little bit. There are a few good reasons to cook a lasagne first thing in the morning. The main one and my driving reason, make it before it gets too hot in here. The second is that you cant exactly have a glass of wine while cooking, its only 10am. And the other which is a personal favourite, there is plenty of time to clean up - do the dishes, wipe up those random sauce splat stains that always happen to appear on the stove top when making a lasagne, and its all clean before you eat! Not sure I will have any of this one... its slightly calorific... but looks soooo good.
For lunch I had a toasted thin bun with a smidge of goats cheese, cherry tomatoes and olives. It looked like this:
I am going to try my hardest not to have a piece of that lasagne for dinner... but I cant promise anything! Will keep yall posted.
Stay neutral everyone!
