White Lasagne

The recipe is based on the one at this location, however, I made a few changes like I always do when making any recipe.

Ingredients

3/4 cup minced shallots (5-6, peeled, then sliced and minced)
1 stick unsalted butter
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon paprika
3 3/4 cups 2% milk
1 cup chicken broth (replace with vegetable broth if you are a vegetarian)
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon grated black pepper
1/2 cup dry Marsala
1 to 1.5 cups grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, portion out 1/2 cup separately
1/8 cup grated Asiago
12 no-boil egg lasagne sheets (usually Barilla flat egg no boil pasta is best, it comes with 16 sheets)

Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle of oven.

Place shallots and butter into a heavy medium saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring periodically until the shallots are tender. This takes around 3-5 minutes.
Add the flour all at once, then reduce heat to low, stirring with a plastic or wooden spoon about 3 minutes.
Add the nutmeg and paprika. Increase the heat back to medium temperature, then slowly whisk in milk one cup at a time until blended.
Stir in the chicken or vegetable broth until blended. Bring to a boil, whisking with the spoon. Reduce heat to simmer, stirring until the sauce lightly coats the spoon. This is only about 1-2 minutes after reducing to simmer from the boil.

Remove from heat and cool until it is only warm rather than hot, re-stirring occasionally. Stir in eggs, Marsala, sea salt, pepper, and 1/2 cup Parmigiano Reggiano cheese.

Spread about 1 3/4 cups sauce over bottom of a glass baking dish about 11x8-inch in size. Cover with a layer of 3 lasagne sheets. Place a sprinkling of Parmigiano Reggiano on top of it with about 1/2 cup sauce.
Add another layer of 3 sheets and put a sprinkling of Asiago cheese on it with about 1/2 cup sauce.
Add another layer of 3 sheets and put the rest of the Asiago on it with about 1/4 cup sauce.
Add the last layer of 3 sheets, then top the remaining sauce evenly over the entire dish, then over the sauce put the remaining Parmigiano Reggiano cheese evenly.

Bake, uncovered, until browned, around 50 minutes.

Cool slightly, then slice into pieces with a knife. The bottom will stick slightly due to the sheets being egg-based, so you likely want to use a fork to get each piece out.

Enjoy! Serves around 4-6 people with around 12 slices (2-3 pieces per person).

The Journey’s End

  old and new, I’m here waiting for you over the hills and under the sun waiting for you as life has begun waiting for you as long as we’ll be waiting for you as you waited for me again we go together my friend through these woods as deep as our sorrows we’ll travel this way into each day through mountains and glens til tomorrow gilded and golden, sapling in green dusty and dark, light with a spark colors abound throughout our journey filling our hearts at all we’ve seen making us age at every stage we’ve dreamed all of life's majesty in the oceans and ponds and what lies beyond footsteps echoing on the hard ground voices fading out til they have no sound we arrive here where we started before each of us the same yet now we've changed one of us lives and cries and cries the other lies down in this cold ground and closes her eyes dusty and dark, light with a spark we’ll travel this way into each day through mountains and glens til tomorrow

The Fourth Riddle

  The Fourth Riddle I’m a whisper on the wind A thought held deep within Imprinted on your bones I won’t ever let you go I know your name I don’t forget anything By design, I hide The truth from sight Hush, shush Don’t rush They don’t know yet Try to keep me quiet Be silent They might buy it I’m embedded in your mind Entrenched inside How do you sleep each night? Worried they’re nearby This train is a one way trip But did you want a ticket? Oh, you can’t get off Until the end of the line Hush, shush Don’t rush They don’t know yet Try to keep me quiet Be silent They might buy it Hush, shush Don’t rush They don’t know yet Try to keep me quiet Be silent You can still deny it You are a prisoner of mine A prisoner in your mind I won’t ever let you go I control everything I’ll follow you to the grave Shhh Don’t talk

Be Someone

When I shut my eyes And hold them tight The colors flash In my head so bright A whirlwind swirls The ocean’s waves A tide that’s fierce The sun’s sharp rays I think of you too far away You’ll never be here where I live You’ll never see this place Never have the same experiences Can I be someone Will it be enough Can we stay this way Despite the distance away I might still be the one You love I might still be the one You love Each day unfolds Going through these motions Attempts to care To be sane and well Not in a self-made hell Tired and spent Cracked and dry Lines forming on my hands Around my eyes I think of you too far away You’ll never be here where I live You’ll never see this place Never have the same experiences Can I be someone Will it be enough Can we stay this way Despite the distance away I might still be the one You love I might still be the one You love Can you be someone Will you be enough Should we stay this way Too distant and far away Am I still the one You love Are y...
