TKS by Kelly: Please Allow Me To Introduce You

to my very dear, very good friend Amanda. I've known this girl since second grade. This is how we met: I tortured her. I'm not even kidding. For some reason she kept me around though (?). She's also the woman who coined the phrase, "you think you're special? WELL! I can stick my tongue to my nose!". She fails to tell you this is a major feat because everything else on her body is so ultra tiny. Minus those ta-tas. She has some huge ta-tas. (bitch) But in all seriousness, Manda, you're a shortcake... and I still love you.

And this is what she looks like normally:

OK, maybe not, but it's still funny.

Here's are some Amanda-isms for you:

Amanda: "I travel a lot, but I'm definitely anti visiting third world countries"

Me: "I could see why"

Amanda: "In fact I think I discriminate against second world countries too"

This is what Amanda says when I answer her phone calls:

Amanda: "God? God? What the shit? no! it's me Morty!"

This is what she said last night:

Amanda: "Are these pictures going on your blog?" <--- Oh yes, yes they are!

So Amanda came over last night just in time for our lasagna feast. She loved it! Also, whenever Andrew and I play one of those video games at a bar we always opt to call our winning selves AK47. Why? Andrew, Kelly... we're just so clever like that. So we will call this "Lasagna AK47 Style"

*Please note I don't advocate the use of guns, irony is just too much fun though. Ask the British.

Lasagna AK47 Style

Ingredients:
1 Lb. Ground Beef
1 Lb. Hot Sausage
2 24 oz. Jars of Sauce (Your choice, I dig Classico Spicy Tomato and Basil)
1 16 oz. Package of Lasagna (none of that no-boil crap)
1 4-Cup Package of Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
1 24 oz. Ricotta Cheese
1/4 Grated Parmesan Cheese
4 Eggs
Salt (To Taste)
Pepper (To Taste)
Garlic Powder (To Taste)
Onion Powder (To Taste)
Worcestershire Sauce (To Taste)

You Will Need:
A Large Casserole Dish.
A Large Boiling Pot
A Large Sauce Pan
A Medium Sized Frying Pan
Colander
Wax Paper or Aluminum Foil
Aluminum Foil

Steps:

1.) No matter what they say, cook the Lasagna first. Bring a Large Pot of water to a boil and slowly add pieces of Lasagna. Boil for about 10 minutes.

2.) In the meantime, lay out some Wax Paper or Aluminum Foil and put the Jars of Pasta Sauce in the Large Sauce Pan on low heat.

3.) Once the Lasagna is cooked, rinse the Lasagna with cold water in a colander.

4.) Lay the individual pieces of Lasagna out on the Wax Paper or Aluminum Foil to dry and don't let them stick together!

5.) Take a sip of wine and preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

6.) Refill that same Large Pot with water and bring to a boil. Add the Hot Sausage and cook for about 5 minutes. Once done, set aside.

7.) In the meantime, put the Ground Beef in the Frying Pan with the Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Worcestershire Sauce and Salt and Pepper and cook until you can't see anymore pink.

8.) Mix the Ricotta Cheese, 2 cups of Mozzarella Cheese, the Parmesan Cheese, the Eggs and the Salt and Pepper to make your Cheese Filler. Set aside.

9.) Without draining the Frying Pan, add the cooked Ground Beef to the Sauce which is already simmering on the stove.

10.) Add the partially cooked/boiled Hot Sausage to the Frying Pan (making sure to keep the Ground Beef fat) and fry the Hot Sausage until it's no longer pink.

11.) Add the Hot Sausage to the Sauce (which is already simmering on the stove, in case I haven't said that enough).

12.) Take the Casserole Dish and splash on a layer of Sauce, followed by a layer of Lasagna, followed by a layer of Cheese Filler. Repeat that same move two more times. When you add the last layer of Cheese Filler, add one more layer of Lasagna, followed by one last layer of Sauce.
