Lessons Learned when making Lasagna

Well this Mothers Day I thought it would be fun to have the McCullough Family and more come over for dinner. Lasagna seemed to be on my mind for the menu. I had only made lasagna ones before and I did it all wrong. Lets just say the noodles were rock hard when it got out of the oven, so needles to say at the time we had lasagna soup :). 3 years later i thought i should learn and try try again. Side note- i read the book "who moved my cheese" i recommend it to everyone! I moved with the cheese and my cooking skills and tried a new recipe. It would serve 8 people and i was expecting double so instead of just doubling the recipe like i should have I quadrupled it to be able to fill my deep lasagna pan. Ridiculous! Now the funny thing is that after i had finished it I looking it over at size of pieces wondering if it will be enough and my mind tells me NO! and I listened! So after an hour of cooking I went to the grocery store to buy more ingredients. This is all happening on Saturday night. Well I filled my two pans full 3 hours later and with great satisfaction put them in the fridge to be cooked tomorrow for the feast. I doubled the recipe and put it in the second pan. Of course the second pan got all eaten and was the perfect amount for the evening. Lesson well learned! When you see a beautiful deep dish full of lasagna IT'S ENOUGH! END THE TORCHURE!
I should have taken a picture. It won't be another 3 years till i make another one cause it'll take 3 years for me to finish this one :) It was a great mothers day and I love being a mom! I was sad to miss all the fun in Red Deer but I will see my Heninger family soon! Love you all
