Experimental Pomodoro Pizza Lasagna (developed or developing recipe)

There is some forking confusion about the origin of lasagna.  You know lasagna! That dish made with several layers of lasagna pasta sheets with alternating sauces and other cheese, meat and or vegetable ingredients.

Nearly everyone believes lasagna originated in Italy.

The first cookbook with a lasagna forking king of recipe came from England in the 14th Century. But this version of lasagna didn’t have tomatoes in it yet.

Some people credit the Greeks for coming up with lasagna because the term lasagna comes from the Greek words lasana and lasanun meaning trivet for pot. Something forking about the pot or dish the forking lasagna is baked in.

The first modern (not sure WTFork time was modern) recipe for lasagna came from Naples and became a traditional dish. The forking original recipe was made with Ragu (NOT the FORKING jarred crap!), Béchamel, and Parmigiano-Reggiano.

Did you ever Forking notice no matter what kind of Orange Juice you buy from your grocer it still never really taste like real fresh squeezed orange juice?

According to HEALTH IMPACT NEWS and FOOD RENEGADE, commercial orange juice is stored in GIANT tanks where they forking remove the oxygen from the juice leaving the stuff completely forking tasteless.

WTFork!

This is Forked Up!

This is Forked Up!

However the reason for doing such a thing is because it makes the orange juice stay good for a year.

At this point they add forking “Flavor Packs” made from orange essence and orange oil to make it taste like what you know as purchased orange juice. They don’t need to put flavor packs in the ingredients because they are made from the process of squeezing the forking oranges.

Now you know the Forking Truth about Orange Juice.

I had a bunch of limes to use up and a can of light coconut milk so I thought I’d make a refreshing coconut lime dessert.  As an Anglaise this is the perfect dessert for a holiday party. It’s refreshing and not too heavy and not too sweet either that screams with satisfying  flavor. The Anglaise can be enjoyed a number of ways. Just as it is or poured over a cake. Freezing the Anglaise will turn it into a custard.

Ingredients

1 cup sugar

1/4 cup corn starch

13.5 oz. can of light coconut milk

4 beaten egg yolks

1 oz. butter

1 cup fresh squeezed lime juice

about 1 1/2 Tablespoons of grated lime peal

pinch of Kosher Salt.

Directions

add all your ingredients to your saucepan on medium heat and keep whisking till it starts to bubble. Let cool slightly and pour into individual cups or freeze to enjoy as custard.

Forking Good!
