I'm inventing a cross between lasagna and eggplant parmesan: layers of pasta and aubergine, plus meat sauce, and ricotta cheese and cottage cheese and Parmesan and Asiago cheeses, but with added cheese and also cheese and then topped with so much cheese.

It's in the oven now to consolidate and to brown the, you guessed it, cheese. Meanwhile, we're watching Maddow and drinking Sazeracs and, oh my, Lyricdancer just brought a lit joint into the house so I guess we're getting crossfaded too

Cooking will take about an hour. More bulletins as events warrant.
