Here I was thinking I was so clever, but boy was I wrong. I have said it before how I really don’t like horror movies, and I refuse to watch them because I end up having horrible nightmares from the watching them. Sometimes though, I am very curious about a movie, and while I do not have the courage to actually watch the movie, I will still watch all the YouTube videos on it so I can find out what the whole story is about. I specifically search out the videos that say “Spoiler Alert” because I want to know the ending as well. This way I don’t get attached to the characters and I am spared the gore. There is a new movie out by John Krasinski called the Quiet Place, that I know for a fact I wanted to avoid. It has all the elements that will strongly affect me, mainly a loving family that I would get attached to, and very scary monsters. Unfortunately I was so intrigued by the story line and how personal it was to John Kransinski, that I watch too many videos. I quickly fell in love with all the characters and feared for there safety. OH THE MONSTERS ARE HORRIBLE. I didn’t get a good look at them either, and that made it worse. So now I am not only freaked out by a film I never watched, but now all the suggestions for additional videos are all about really scary horror films. ERG!!!!!! Let the nightmares begin.

EASY AND DELICIOUS LASAGNA FOR EVERYONE. 25 BEST RECIPES.
by Tim Allen
Genre: Cookbooks, Food & Wine
FREE for a limited time
A properly-made lasagna is a dish of consummate beauty and one of the most beloved Italian food dishes in the world. Lasagna has many versions, both within Italy and around the world, but when we talk about “real” lasagna in Italy we mean “Lasagna alla Bolognese” i.e., from Bologna in the region of Emilia-Romagna. One of the traditional pasta shapes of this region is the long, flat strips that go into making the layers of lasagna. Although some Italians will buy these strips dried, it’s still quite common in Emilia-Romagna to make them at home, along with other regional specialties like tortellini.
You may not know this, but technically, Lasagna did not originate in Italy as you may expect. Its origin can be traced waaaayyy back to Ancient Greece. The name Lasagna, or “Lasagne” is derived from the Greek word ‘Laganon’; the first know form of pasta. Laganon was not a traditional lasagna as we know it with traditional Italian ingredients, but it was composed of layers of pasta and sauce. So it basically got its name from the method in which it was made, not for its ingredients. To recap, the name can be traced back to Ancient Greece, the first recipe to Britain and generations of perfecting the dish to Italy! Regardless of who can claim the lasagna fame, we are grateful to whoever is responsible for passing this recipe on through the centuries!
