olympic and lasagna

2008 Olympic is finally here! I know it's weird to hear this me, someone who doesn't care and watch any sport. Actually, Olympic is THE ONE sport event that gets me excited. My favorite events to watch are swimming, diving, and gymnastic. I was looking forward to the opening. I had high expectation for my people. The Chinese know their fireworks and if all fell short, they could still put on a kick-ass firework show. I have to say, the opening ceremony was spectacular. I heard the drums count down at the beginning was incredible. My husband said it was so good that made him feel proud for the Chinese. Well, I had to cook dinner for my husband and baby, so I missed the first half. I was so upset that they didn't broadcast it live, and I had to miss the best part. I tried to find that on youtube and was sure there would be many. I mean, what can you not find on youtube anymore. I was so bummed that all of the videos were removed due to "copy rights claim by a third party" ARGH!

With all that said, I have to give kudos to my friend Amanda. I found a link to The Pioneer Woman in her blog. I have to agree with Amanda, Pioneer woman is awesome! She is a great cook, photographer, and a cowgirl. I made her "the best lasagna. ever" tonight. It's very easy and full of flavor. I forgot to take a photo. I was too hungry. Wen it comes to Italian food, my husband always has a strong opinion. No, he's not Italian. He loves his Italian food. I asked if he thought it was the best lasagna he had ever had, he said the Paula Deen's seafood lasagna that I made was the best. But then he admitted it's the best meat lasagna he had ever had. While I was preparing the lasagna, I managed to make a pan of brownies using the Ghirardelli brownie mix. I feel productive today.
