Hey, Friday...almost missed ya. Not sure where my head is these days, if you see it let me know, though I suspect it is on its way to Manhattan before the rest of me.
Oh, and it's not really Garfield's birthday. It's my husband's birthday tomorrow and he requested a lasagna for dinner, thus the large, cantankerous, lasagna lovin' cat reference- impossible for me not to think of Garfield when one mentions lasagna. And since it's rare that someone should request a lasagna,I haven't a clue how to make one, but found this recipe (below) from Gourmet that looks to be lovely. And I love Garfield AND David, so I'm gonna try it out.

For those of you too young or pop culturally agnostic to know about Garfield, here is a character portrait:
,"... and his hatred of exercise (or any form of work; he is known for saying breathing is exercise.) Garfield is also pessimistic, sadistic, cynical, sarcastic, sardonic and a bit obnoxious. He enjoys destroying things, mauling the mailman, tormenting Odie, kicking Odie off the table; he also makes snide comments, usually about Jon's inability to get a date (in one strip, when Jon bemoans the fact that no one will go out with him on New Year's, Garfield replies, "Don't feel bad Jon. They wouldn't go out with you even if it weren't New Year's.") Though Garfield can be very cynical, he does have a soft side for his teddy bear, Pooky, food and sleep..."
Not too far off from either of us, really. Lasagna it is...all the love for a happy weekend- and all the love to my wonderful husband on his birthday weekend- there is simply nobody better on this here Earth, of this I am certain. And that's what's up this felinish Friday in the 305. Ain't no finer man than mine, this much is true. Happy birthday to the love of my life. XO
