      Giveaway

      Written by TheHonestToddler

      Prize: One lasagna

      Enter to win this lasagna! It was meant to be tonight’s dinner but we should have pizza. I know you love lasagna and will appreciate this.

      Details: Lasagna is not as fun as its name implies, but due to your degenerating adult taste buds, you will think this is a wonderful treat or feast. This lasagna starts off with perfectly good pasta that probably now wishes it was dead. You put 8 or 9 of these long pasta railroad tracks into a pan that should have been used to make a cake for a young child. Then put on some white pieces. Then spread on a layer of blood. Add on some vegetables like zucchini and ground beef. You repeat this over and over again until you run out of ingredients and your baby is crying.

      You don’t know how it feels to watch someone you love create this. It’s a scary sensation.

      Shredded cheese is one of my favorite foods. Take all of the house shredded cheese and waste it on this dish. Put it in the oven.

      While this was cooking I felt very alone. I knew that the only person who could rescue me was grandma. She’s like my own Liam Neeson. Luckily when the lasagna was done melting it was not served that evening so I still have a chance.

      This is basically what it looks like.

      How to Win: To win, just leave a comment here, on Facebook, in your butt, and on Twitter. Explain why you love lasagna and I’ll try not to get upset. One winner will be chosen sometime. Because I cannot operate a car, I will not deliver this lasagna. It weighs as much as me so you have to come get it. Use the back door and BE QUICK ABOUT IT.

      If you’re busy running errands again, I will try to give it to the mailman to deliver but I doubt he’ll even make eye contact with me as he is a mean fool.

      To make things simpler, if you win,  just right click on the image, print out and enjoy.

      Good luck.

      I love lasagna and have already rescued it from your house. Don’t worry, I used the back door. Thanks for creating that diversion for me when you did a 2 AM quiet pee in the Big Bed!

      It can’t be nearly as bad as when an adult puts walnuts in an otherwise perfect batch of brownies. Let me know if you find someone to take your lasagna. They are obviously demented and would also enjoy this tainted plate of brownies on my kitchen counter.

      There are few things worse than realizing there’s no more shredded cheese in the house. Someone should definitely stay on top of that to make sure there’s always a backup bag!

      I’m actually not a huge fan of lasagna. Or oven macaroni. Or baked ziti. I don’t like any baked pasta. My mom almost cried when i told her i liked Kraft macaroni better than her homemade-from-scratch recipe. But seriously, who puts breadcrumbs in macaroni? Crazy.

      Anyway, i don’t want your lasagna, but i will gladly split a pizza with you.

      Lasagna is awesome because it has cheese, and if you make enough you don’t have to waste time by cooking a second or third day because you can just reheat the leftovers (WOOHOO!!!). Which means more playtime with Adam (he’s only 6 months). What are your thoughts HT, do you like reheated food if it means more playtime and adventures?

      I love my mom because she takes 5 minutes to put a Stouffers in the oven so she can play ghost pirates with me while it’s cooking. Then she let’s me eat grapes for dinner while watching her choke down the Stouffers and then we play ghost pirates again before bed. She could really use something better than Stouffers, thank you.

      I like lasagna! The layers make it easy to conceal down what mom has termed my “adorable” outfit (Really mom? A smocked blue and white gingham checked romper?). The layers make it look like I have eaten when, in reality, i have taken the noodles and shoved them down the front of my romper. Then in the ultimate display of “cuteness,” I throw my hands up into the air, spraying sauce across the silk covered walls.

      HT, you missed some other key give-away meals–twice baked potatoes, meatloaf, homemade soups of all varieties (especially split pea or bean)–you get my drift. Parents need to stick to chicken nuggets, mac & cheese, and tater tots. Sneaking in vegetables is dirty pool.

      Dear Honest Toddler,
      I actually do not want your lasagna. You should appreciate picky tastebuds, knowing that you possess a set of your own. Here in our house, we have a Dad who makes a caramelized onion and roasted squash lasagna with homemade sauce from homegrown tomatoes and, to top it off, uses homemade noodles. It beats your diaper wearin’ (Or Pull-Up wearing–don’t be fooled, you’re not potty-trained) posterior.
      I am a bit leery of the lasagna giveaway. I fear that it could snowball into a nightmarish version of If You Give an Adoring Fan a Pan of Lasagna book. Almost like the Laura Numeroff books. I’m worried this lasagna wouldn’t just arrive at my door. Instead, you would come with it. You’d come just for dinner, then overnight, then it would turn into 7 days while your parents party it up in Vegas. I know your type, HT. This giveaway comes with hidden fine print, which works in your favor, not mine.
      Keep in mind, if you and your lasagna ever made it to our house for a rendezvous there is no sleeping in our bed. And there is no cot for you, either. You would be sleeping on the floor with no red popsicles on our carpet.
      Please don’t read these as threats, just simple reminders from a teacher and mother of two very honest toddlers.
      I’m sorry you have to eat sub-par lasagna. But ignorance is bliss.

        Loved this. We have a favorite white lasagna here too. Just the carmelized onions take an hour to prepare, but it’s so worth it. My own HT looked at it, deemed it unworthy, and just started screaming for turkey shavings. I call her “the Philistine” under my breath a lot.

      You’re right to give that thing away. It is so wrong. Trust me, I’m a grown up, but I am Italian (from Italy, not US-born imitation). First, it should be called “lasagnE” with an e at the end – see, we are already onto something here. And then, it should be a lot less cahotic: green pasta, with just the right splash of bechamelle and ragù between layers, and a wonderful topping of crisped parmesan if it is from Bologna; white pasta, with a good tomato sauce and small, tasty, crispy meatballs if it is from the south. Good thing that Ricky Anderson was there to save you, a win-win!
