Crossdressing in the 24th century

We all love Wesley

Remember this episode? I think this is where we learn Wesley is an annoying and wears ugly sweaters.

Star Trek Bride and Groom

That's right, just when you thought that Star Trek potluck couldn't possibly get any nerdier... we throw a ST themed bridal shower. We had all white foods for dinner (a meal that would make anyone on Atkins freak out... very heavy on the potatoes) and then cake for dessert, complete with a Star Trek bride and groom. Congrats, Kathryn!

Voyaged to Far?

Soup, Salad, and Ladies

It was all girls tonight-- watching Data as Sherlock Holmes
and groaning at Wesley...

Christ Krispy Treats

Kathryn is modeling a Christ Krispy treat
shaped like a cross for Christian foods night
to christen the new trekking location.

Shroud of Turin Lasagna

In honor of our new location, the food theme this week was Christian food! Sadly, no water was turned into wine, but here's my attempt at a "shroud of turin" lasagna. Can you see the face of the Lord? :)

To create your own personal Jesus lasagna:

The sauce -- one can of stewed tomatoes and one can of tomato sauce
Vegetable filling -- strips of roasted red peppers and portobello mushrooms marinated in balsamic vinegar (you can sometimes get these at the Wegman's olive bar so that you don't have to marinate them yourself)
Cheese filling -- one tub of cottage cheese, half a bag of frozen spinach (don't forget to squeeze out all of the water), parmesan and grated mozzarella, lots of chopped up garlic, pepper and basil

Layer the sauce and fillings in any order you like with lasagna noodles (starting with a layer of sauce on the bottom usually makes it easier to scoop out of the pan). Top with mozzarella cheese and bake covered at 375 for about an hour or so. Take off the covering for the last ten minutes or so to make sure your cheese is nice and melty on top.

To make the Jesus face, I toasted some grated parmesan in a pan and sprinkled it on after it came out of the oven.

Reach out and touch faith!
