I did end up making the pastitsio last night. When I got home I started to reheat the meat sauce that I began the night before. Set it to simmer (covered)on low and left it there for many hours (at least 2 hours, probably more!), stirring it periodically. I am definitely going to have to make more of the sauce and freeze it in batches for later use. The meat was nice and tender and small and yummy. Eventually got around to making the macaroni and bechamel sauce and then baked the whole thing, once assembled (macaroni, meat sauce, macaroni, bechamel sauce), for an hour. Heh, did not actually have it done until 11:30, but that was because I waited until I had a better idea of when Chas was coming home (which was late). All in all it came out good. I think Chas liked it. The only thing it lacked was enough salt, which was easily remedied by sprinkling some on. I will have to remember to use more salt next time. Maybe mix some feta in there somewhere? And I might just skip the top layer of macaroni and put the bechamel sauce directly on top of the meat sauce like the recipe said. I have never had it that way, but who knows?

Still have a bunch of it left. Yummy!

The hold music for our 2wire department is this 15 second piece of generic piano, playing over and over and over and over agin. Even the clip is the same bit of piano being repeated! Want to tear my ears off my head now!
