Classic Lasagna
Who here is a die hard Friends fan?!?! The answer is me!!! And everyone who has friends, of course. I haven’t heard of one person who dislikes this amazing show. I also can’t believe that my beloved show Friends is now twenty five years old. Rachel, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe, Monica and Ross are like my childhood friends, and they’ve been making me laugh for 25 years. So considering they are my first friends ever, I must celebrate and whip up a special Friends themed meal to eat while I restart the series. There are a lot of different foods sprinkled throughout Friends, but I’m making one that came up in the very first season: Monica’s Lasagna. In the episode, The One with the Dozen Lasagnas, Monica makes a dozen lasagnas for a party she is catering, only to find out that they ordered vegetarian, and not the meat ones she made. So, she was stuck with a dozen lasagnas and kept giving them away to her friends and strangers to eat.
I’m finally bringing Monica’s lasagna to life so we can all enjoy it. But we are only making one this time.

Hello there! Quick question that’s completely off topic.
Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My weblog looks
weird when browsing from my iphone4. I’m trying to find a template or plugin that
might be able to resolve this issue. If you have any suggestions, please share.
Many thanks!
