I'm Not Just a Dish Washer

Another first has been recorded in my book. Last week one of the usual cooks on my shift was gone, and I was riding on the engine so that meant I was in charge of meals. So lunch we had a simple hodge podge of crap and I do mean crap, like mac and cheese, smoked sausage, and ranch style beans. It was awesome and I'm not joking. For dinner I brought out my A-game, Texas toast(cheese and garlic), salad, and homemade lasagna. It was the first time I have ever made it, so with the recipe and instructions from Keelie I whipped it together. I threw it in the oven on time but then with a call during I had to turn down the temp going out the door. Long story short by the time we were through eating it was gone and they said it was awesome. I received several atta boys and they were impressed. Against my better judgement I even had to make it with turkey instead of beef because one of the guys is trying to avoid red meat. Even though it turned out good I won't make a habit of using turkey. I just wonder how good it could have been if I had used beef instead?
