tonight, almost everything was from scratch.
jared started making the lasagna bolognese a few days ago. the recipe calls for meat sauce and béchamel to be combined and spread across the noodles. if done right, the noodles become perfect blankets: saturated, not soggy, full of the flavor and richness of the sauce.
the caesar dressing was spot on. the homemade croutons, perfect.
he even had the audacity (or sheer genious, however you look at it) to make fresh baguettes (also a multi-day project.) he pulled them out of the oven just as the lasagna had cooled enough so that it wouldn't burn the roof of our mouths. the crusty outside gave way to a tender dough inside. butter melted quickly on the piece i tore right from the loaf.
these recipes were definitely what i was consider labor-intensive, but jared enjoys a challenge. i'll stick to the easy stuff for now, but I certainly don't mind being jared's official "taste tester."
all recipes are Cooks Illustrated and all, as usual, are unbelieveable.

That looks unreal. Well done.
I have small Bichon Bolognese, and he sounds delicious now.
