It looks spicy, isn't it?

<p>no, it is not spicy when it is served. the red stuff&nbsp;is "tomato jam" , or more professionally,"marinara sauce". </p><p></p>

<p>I didn't realize it's an Italian dish until u edited it. [em04]</p><p>I'm really glad that I see this after my lunch. </p>

<p>6 layer lasagna is pretty good, but it is takes time to prepare and cook. I only created three signature recipes so far.</p>[em02]

<p>6 layer, my god! </p><p>It must be a rich feast that can cram me into the fullest...</p>

I am thinking to bake a lasagna for myself next week.<br/>

Garfield LOVES lasagna, especially 6 layers... <br/><br/><br/>When I first ate lasagna, I loved it too. But now I think it's a bit too... cheesy... ("cheesy" as "tonnes of cheese") <br/>

that is one reason why I created my own. hehe

loveflower's lasagna... <br/>[em02][em02][em02][em02][em02]<br/><br/>I wonder if I have the chance to try it... <br/>

count me!

<p>you guys thought I am a good cooker?</p><p>&nbsp;[em04]</p><p>True, I like cooking, but it is more like an entertainment to me. </p><p>&nbsp;</p>[em01]

Seems not so good..

to loveflower: nevermind, you think we're real 食家？？？ <br/>[em01][em01][em01][em01] Eating is sometimes like an entertainment to me too! <br/><br/>to flamekid: what's not so good? <br/>

To Ms Ghost: I mean the Italian foods.

haha, you don't like Italian food in general?<br/>

I like cantong foods.

Cantonese food? Like dim sum or something like that?<br/>

<p>I like seafoods.</p><p>Are you cantonese?</p>

Yup, 100% Cantonese : )<br/>
