The gods definitely wanted you to make lasagna that night. My freezer, for the first time in some time, is lasagna-less. I need to do something about that!<br />Thanks for your kinds words about me, the blog, and book -- and patience! That was most gracious of you and I'm very appreciative.ChgoJohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02203651134799947744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2107692602665196400.post-91839780347531835952017-04-03T09:45:58.975-04:002017-04-03T09:45:58.975-04:00I am making this again tomorrow night, Jean - I wi...I am making this again tomorrow night, Jean - I wish I could ship you a slice!Cocoa and Lavenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13627872741055523948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2107692602665196400.post-19485369691162327602017-04-02T10:27:19.619-04:002017-04-02T10:27:19.619-04:00Oh, David, this has my mouth watering!
