Seems to be a good weekend so far. Yesterday i made home made lasagna and my mom's famous Spanish rice. A lot of it. Now my mom's and dad's version of Spanish rice isn't the same as everyone else's. We only use Minute Rice lightly browned in a frying pan with sauteed chopped onions and peppers. Next we add hamburg we already fried in another pan (or you can fry it with the onions and peppers before you add the rice.) Then we add tomato sauce, tomato paste and some water. This will be a little watery but the rice will soak it up. My family loves it this way without all the other added ingredients we don't like. Tastes better,too. The lasagna is simple.. lasagna noodles, ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese, hamburg or sausage, spaghetti sauce, parsley, and pepper. i don't add salt to anything. If people want it, they can add it on. Salt isn't that good for your anyways.
My brother and his wife came up from North Carolina to visit the weekend. We are having a family get-to- gether on Sunday at a park not too far from here. I got to visit with them last night and is really great to see tham again. It has been ages. Get you caught up on this at a later date.
