Ever since I met the NCIS LA star Peter Cambor, he has been talking about how great his duck lasagna is. Finally, after hearing about it for a year, I told him I couldn't stand the talk anymore. The only way for me to verify if this duck lasagna was worth the talk was if he was cooking lasagna for myself and my fiancee. Well, all I can say is, the duck lasagna was worth the wait.
The primary function of your new outdoor kitchen/living space is to make sure "you" the chef/host are part of the party! To achieve this, orient the kitchen area toward the yard space and design a dining counter or bar area for guests to gather around you.3. Location, Location, LocationLeave-No-Trace, www.lnt.org, offers the following Principles for Outdoor Ethics: Plan Ahead and Prepare, Travel and Camp on Durable Surfaces, Dispose of Waste Properly, Leave What You Find, Minimize Campfire Impacts, Respect Wildlife and Be Considerate of Other Visitors.-Before leaving your campsite, clean your fire pit and your campsite. Make it as clean as you would want it if you were arriving that day. The next user will appreciate it.Another fun and unexpected part of the dinner party hosted by Peter Cambor was the hors d'ouevres that were served outside in the garden around an open fire. What a lovely way to start an evening and catch up with what is going on in everyone's life. In fact, if you have an outdoor fire pit, then a great party theme you can use can be, From the Garden to the Table. You can work this dinner two ways, either grill everything (fire) or serve a vegetarian meal (garden).Get Outdoors!
The new season of NCIS LA starts Tuesday, September 21st with a two-hour episode (although I don't think cooking lasagna, more specifically, duck lasagna will be featured). However, I hope you picked up on a few ideas and if you ever get the desire to cook duck lasagna, just be sure like the actor Peter Cambor you commit fully with the nine hour process! Until next time, remember the Budget Bash mantra: make it simple, delicious, stylish, fun & economical to all!
