This week I decided that it would be nice to make Lasagna. With the impulse I went to the store, but forgot the lasagna noodles. In lieu of the standard noodles I used some whole wheat macaroni and loved the effect. Mark said it reminded him of our earlier pasta bake dishes, but since the noodles are already cooked when you put the dish in the oven, it takes half the time to bake. I think we have both been converted to this easier to serve and eat lasagna!

Mark had been talking about the desire to make Tandoori Chicken, a recipe we found in Fine Cooking, for over a week, but since we got back from vacation we have been very busy. The most time consuming part of this dish is the marination. Since we don't have access to a grill, we just cooked our dish on the stove and greatly enjoyed the product! The spices all combine into a nice curryish dish. Next time we'll remember to close the door to the bedroom since the odor is rather strong.
