I have pictures of my lasgna (made by other people) because it was so good in the past.

Back in the day I would make it for holidays, for friends/staff at work etc and it basically was like a knock out drug because everyone ate so much they couldn't move afterwards.

It was really good.

But I didn't make it much since my wife passed, I had friends/roomates for the first year or so afterwards, so I made it at least a few times and while it went downhill, it was still pretty good.

Now it's been at least a year, and I made it for the first time today. I short cutted on the sauce only a bit, leaving out the sauteed onions and the bell peppers (and I have not used wine in forever), but the result was not even as good as most itallian resteraunts, and certainly not worth the time and effort.

I always cooked by memory, my own recipies developed over time and practice, but if enough time goes by, I just forget. I lost my really good baked potatoe pancakes recipe years ago, I just didn't make it often enough. I never thought my Lasagna would deteriorate so much, it is really sad.

I guess if you don't use it, you lose it, and that includes cooking. No reason to cook large meals only for myself, so I stick to fast easy things to cook, or eat out.

I really should have joined a pot luck club or something, I did think about it, but never could force myself to actually do it. Now I really regret it because it's too late I think, the best dishes I made are lost in the past.
