This is for those who appreciate lasagna. I used the lasagna sheets, beautiful ricotta, and fresh mozzarella that I bought at the Italian market. Using my homemade sauce. If you’re going to be rude just don’t.

Am I just stupid or was charcuterie not really a thing until the past few years? Like when I was a kid my mom put out Italian meats and cheeses and called it antipasto.Nobody ever called it charcuterie.

Hello my name is Rose and I love to cook. I’m not vegan or a vegetarian. If you are, that is fantastic for you. You don’t need to make rude and nasty comments on my food tweets. I’m sick of always getting trolled by vegans and vegetarians on my tweets. You do you and I’ll do me.
