Hi Ben,

RH> Sounds good. Steve has his VFW meeting tonight; he had volunteered to cook
RH> for this month. Yesterday we went over to Sam's Club and got 3 big chicken
RH> pot pies, several bags of Caesar salad, a big tray of cookies and a flat
RH> of LaCroix sparkling water for the meal. We went to Wegman's after that
RH> and restocked on some of our baasics--yogurt, lunch meat (from the deli),
RH> soups, bagels, and more. Also got a small sushi tray for my supper tonight
RH> and some deli roast beef & kimmelwick rolls for our supper last night. Had
RH> them with the last of the cole slaw I made several days ago. Not gourmet
RH> eating but fills the belly.

 BC> The other day my sister served me lox, and i don't remember eating it
 BC> before. I guess it could be thought of as Jewish sushi.

Never thought of it that way; I associate them with bagels. The summer
between my junior and senior years of high school I worked at a Jewish
camp. Lox and bagels were a common Sunday breakfast there; I still enjoy
bagels fairly often (Wegman's has a good assortment of fresh made bagels
in their bakery.) but don't usually spend the money for lox. Most often
my topping is cream cheese or butter blend. The camp kept somewhat
kosher, not a strict separation of dishes, food stuffs etc but meals
were either dairy or non dairy.

We made a trip to Israel in 2009; the meals there reminded me of the
camp. It was all good eating but some of the younger folks on the trip
were fussing that they missed American fast food. That night in our
hotel in Jerusalem, the head cook brought out a plate of french fries;
it made the kids (young adults) happy but we were just as happy eating
what was available for everybody.

RH> It looks good but that's as far as it'll get for us. Steve's corn
allergy RH> rules out things like polenta. My lasagne recipe is from my
MIL, using the RH> sauce recipe I posted yesterday, whole wheat noodles
and ricotta cheese. RH> WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY different from the poor excuse
for "lasagne" my mom made.

 BC> I've made lasagna several times in adulthood and it always seemed like
 BC> too much work to deal with those big noodles.  I liked "Mexican
 BC> Lasagna"
 BC> better.

About 40 years ago, one time when my in laws came to visit, I made a
lasagne, even made the noodles from scratch. Haven't done that in a
while. (G)

It is a bit of a fuss but the taste is worth it. I don't make it that
often as a big dish for just the 2 of us but have made it up as several
small (one to two meals worth) dishes, putting the extras in the freezer
to enjoy another time.
