Las Vegas Buffet, May 5th

Heddy: Daniel, seriously, what do we do here?
Daniel: What are you talking about?
Heddy: I mean, I've never done this before. It's all a bit...overwhelming.
Daniel: What are you talking about? Just last week, we attacked the golf club buffet!
Heddy: That was child's play compared to this. What do I do? Where do I begin?
Daniel: Rule No. 1, never stack too much on your plate on the first run. Rule No.2, diversify...sample as much as possible on the first round. This serving will serve as a guide for later rounds.
Rule No. 3, leave some food on your plate if necessary...don't eat anything that will keep you from eating something else that's better. Rule No. 4, get you moneys worth...if you see lobster stuffed with foie gras stuffed with duck-fed goose carpaccio, take enough to feed the UNLV football team.
Heddy: Okay.
Daniel: Pile it on for the little "huevo." But remember there's dessert and don't forget Rule No. 3.

Maysagne Extravagane Part I

Maysagne Extravagane Part II

A little wikipedia knowledge for the lay people...But, first, I would have to say it was an intense night at the lasagna cook off. We had some name calling and possibility of recipe sabotage earlier this week. Doors and windows were locked. A guard dog was rented for the week to protect the age old recipes.
Second, we came together with a peaceful attitude and ceased the intense aggressiveness which was brought on earlier this past week. The portions were stacked and the eating commenced. I loved it. And now wikipedia...
The word "lasagna" is derived from the Greek word "lasanon" meaning chamber pot. The word was later borrowed by the Romans as "lasanum" to mean cooking pot. The Italians then used the word to refer to the dish in which what is now known as lasagna is made. The word lasagna or lasagne (plural) now simply applies to the food itself.[4] The British (and Italians) generally use the plural "lasagne" to mean both the dish and the pasta while the Americans commonly use the singular "lasagna".
