Wayne and Rebecca Madsen

1 quantity white sauce, prepared (see below)
1 quantity tomato sauce, prepared (see below)
1 lb (500g) uncooked lasagna noodles
1/2 lb (250g) sliced mozzarella
1/2 lb (250 g) sliced ham
2 oz (60g) grated parmesan
Oregano to sprinkle.

Cook noodles as instructed on the package until tender, but firm. Use a large fork or slotted spoon to remove cooked noodles directly to the baking pan (either 1 9x13 pan, or 2 8x8 pans). Spoon tomato sauce on baking pan and put the first layer of noodles. Make four layers of noodles as you go. In between each layer, put meat sauce, mozzarella and ham. In one of the layers, put only white sauce with ham. Cover the lasagna with white sauce, grated parmesan and sprinkle oregano.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 Celcius).
Bake lasagna until heated through or about 20 minutes.
Cover lasagna with aluminum foil during baking to avoid cheese over burn.  read more »

1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
2 1/2 cups flour
1-2 eggs (depending on where you live)
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
6-8 oz chocolate chips

Mix everything but the chocolate chips together until well blended. Traditionally this is done by hand, because I only recently got a good mixer, but I have been known to use a mixer. We sometimes use 1 egg, and sometimes 2 eggs, depending on how fluffy we want them. If you live in a moist climate, you might need to reduce the butter/shortening quantity a bit and increase the flour a bit so the cookies don't fall flat in the oven. Finally, stir in the chocolate chips, and roll small balls of dough to put on a baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes at 350 degrees. Eat. Enjoy. Served best with milk.
