Oh, frozen spinach, how I hate thee

So, yeah. In case I haven't mentioned it here, I broke my lasagna cooking cherry this past weekend. Had a fascinating discussion with mr_weasel about the cost efficiencies of Fresh Vs Store-bought frozen (you spend a little more buying the ingredients, but the cooking time is reduced). It's a foolishly easy dish to make, as long as you're not making your own sauce. And even then, well, we've got tomato sauce made from our garden sitting in the pantry

The recipe I used required ricotta or cottage cheese in the middle, mixed with defrosted frozen spinach. Now, personally, spinach is a take it or leave it proposition for me (I often pass it by when using a salad bar, to my shame).

The spinach in this dish, though, is not making itself loved to me. I don't know if it's because I defrosted it the easy way (microwave) instead of letting time and nature take its course. The flavour is just strange, and it has an odd, tough texture that I'm not loving.

Meh. It was a casserole dish of pure gold that came out of the oven, in any case.

Well, Monday, as a normal human being. My favourite day is Thursday, as it is A) Gaming Night, B) Roti Night, and C) The day furthest from Monday.
