A couple of years ago, my husband and I were preparing a meal for our extended family at his mother’s home.
The menu included a vegetable tray with hummus, butternut squash lasagna, steamed broccoli, and a dessert munchies platter.
This was the first time we attempted the butternut squash lasagna.
We used the vegetable tray with hummus as an appetizer as we started steaming the broccoli.
Everything was going as planned.
Delightful conversation and enjoyable food for all.
When we opened the oven, we realized we had neglected a key ingredient.
What key ingredient was missing?
Heat.
And you thought I was going to say butternut squash!
No, it was not the oven’s fault.
It was our error.
We had misunderstood the controls on the oven.
After we recovered from laughing, we served the steamed broccoli, followed by a dessert tray and then butternut lasagna as the last course.
