So I ventured across the 11.4km between our houses dressed in my warmest clothes (it was like I was going to a footy game in -2 degree weather! Beanie, scarf & enormous jacket!)
I must say I was hugely impressed to hear the menu and the fact that I wasn't only getting Gianna's lasagna recipe but there was also dessert involved!
I should at this point admit that I was in serious need of a hearty meal. I had failed to do the groceries and the food supplies in my house were down to the basics (bread and frozen pasta sauces!). For breakfast I had eaten toast, for lunch more toast...so when I saw Jo pull out the dish of lasagna my stomach was already cheering!
What can I say, it tasted even better than it looked! The lasagna was creamy and delicious! It was very hot but it didn't stop me from my usual fast paced eating. The pasta was perfectly cooked and the meat filling was oh soooo tasty! A lovely side salad with some awesome balsamic dressing was the perfect accompaniment.
Dessert was also a hit! An apple crumble in these really cute blue ceramic dishes. Jo was worried the topping was too crumbly so I had to remind her that there is a reason it is called an Apple 'Crumble'! It was scrumptious! There was a good hit of cinnamon and spices and all topped off with yummy ice-cream.
All in all the perfect winter warmers I needed on a chilly Saturday night! Thanks for spoiling me Jo!
