Curry Lasagna

After finally recovering from the burger cake incident and its ensuing fallout, we spared no time getting back into the kitchen. In combining lasagna and curry, you could call this next creation our first truly interracial dish. Imagine - the delectable, comforting Italian intermingling with some exotic, spicy Indian. I smell a feel-good romantic comedy featuring Milo Ventimiglia and Freida Pinto. I would totally pay to see that.

Wait, no I wouldn't. Okay, maybe I would.

Our ingredients included lasagna, chicken breast, potatoes, plain yogurt and 2 types of curry - butter chicken and tikka masala. The basic process is the same as a traditional lasagna, but using curry instead of tomato sauce and yogurt instead of ricotta.




1. Cut up chicken breast into small pieces, season and cook. Mix cooked chicken pieces into the curry.





2. Layer a deep pan, starting with curry at the bottom. Sprinkle with diced potatoes, then add lasagna, yogurt and more lasagna. Repeat this process until you reach the top of the pan. We used oven-ready lasagna, so there was no need to boil it beforehand.





3. Bake according to package instructions.




I just realized it's Friday the 13th. With my luck, I'll stumble upon another burger cake that I'll be forced to choke down.

Burger Cake

Some of you may remember a particular post where I knocked burger cakes. After much deliberation, we decided to make one for ourselves with the unlikely prospect of changing our minds. The result? I hate burger cakes now more than I ever have in my life. Why would anybody ever want to make one of these things? Why not just make a giant burger? Seriously, I'm not 7 years old and any more than a small slice of cake makes me feel like my stomach is doing back flips. Into knives! That are on fire!! Don't waste my time with your deliciously moist interiors or your damn frosty goodness.

Look, I have no problem with making a big cake and eating a normal-sized piece. Unfortunately, that's not how it works in our group, where nobody is exempt from a good ball-busting manhood challenge. If we make a big-ass cake shaped like a burger, every single person involved in the making of the cake must eat and finish a big-ass piece. If you have better friends than I do, here are instructions on how to make a burger cake for yourself so you can eat as little of it as you want. Our cake was made with 5 different flavored layers. Starting from the bottom, we used chocolate chip cookie, brownie, cheesecake, chocolate cake and lemon cake.




1. Bake all your stuff. The different layers may require different times and temperatures, so make sure everything gets baked properly and cools down.




2. Assemble according to order stated above. That's about it. The only thing I didn't mention was that we spread butterscotch pudding between the chocolate and lemon cake layers to look like cheese.


It took us a few days to eat this monstrosity. I have not eaten cake since.
