Birthday Blessings

By Joanna Fuchs

Instead of counting candles,
Or tallying the years,
Contemplate your blessings now,
As your birthday nears. Consider special people
Who love you, and who care,
And others who’ve enriched your life
Just by being there. Think about the memories
Passing years can never mar,
Experiences great and small
That have made you who you are. Another year is a happy gift,
So cut your cake, and say,
“Instead of counting birthdays,
I count blessings every day!”

My friend got mixed fruits as her dessert during our lunch in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia… a very healthy choice!

This is the pasta I used, 250g of San Remo instant lasagna

Prepare the meat sauce first:
oil
garlic
onions
ground beef (500g)
tomato paste (5 tbsps)
tomato sauce (600g)
salt and pepper
nutmeg

Then the white sauce:
butter (2 tbsp)
flour (2 tbsp)
1 big can of evaporated milk
quickmelt cheese (125g)

Once the sauce is done, arrange it in the baking dish starting with the pasta, then the meat sauce and the white sauce. You can have up to 4 layers. Make sure each layer is fully covered with sauce to keep the moisture.

After the last layer, top it with grated quickmelt cheese.

Bake for 45 mins.
