I find that every "store bought" lasagna I have tries is sorely under
flavoured. Even some of the restaurant versions. And sadly, the best of
Springfield Italian restaurant has fallen to the wrecking ball of 
progress (highway overpass) and the death of 'Nona' Bianco. I used to
reply "Whatever Grandma's speecial of the day is" when asked what I'd
have for supper there. Never got a disappointing meal.

That will fit in a tagline only by leaving Ms. Deen out of it. Bv)=

I do have a dishwasher. Two of them. Right hand and left hand. There,
literally, is no room in my tiny Pullman kitchen for an electric dish
washer. And cabinet space is so limited I'm dogged if I'll give any of 
it over to a convenience appliance.
