I had my own Queer Eye for the Straight Guy moment this weekend and invited some friends over for a proper grown-up dinner which I cooked myself. You know, part of the QE makeover formula is for the SG to entertain, something we straight guys are apparently impaired at. I know I fit the profile so, silly as it may seem, the evening was a bit of a milestone for me.
With both carnivores and herbivores on the guest list I did two kinds of lasagna, a red lasagna with Italian sausage and a green lasagna with pesto and spinach. Those recipe links are there because the guests were kind enough to ask for them. Thanks, friends, for being an appreciative audience for this little baby step of reinvention.
