Hi Dave,


 DD> I find that every "store bought" lasagna I have tries is sorely under
 DD> flavoured. Even some of the restaurant versions. And sadly, the best

 RH> Of the various ones we've tried, we like Micheal Angelo's the best,
 RH> Stouffers the least.

 DD> Agreed. Stouffer's has some decent frozen entrees - but lasagna ain't
 DD> one of them. I get along just fine with their spaghetti w/meat sauce
 DD> as long as the Parmesan shaker isn't empty. And the Chicke fettucine
 DD> Alfredo with broccoli is pretty good.

We've not tried any of their other products as I make my own versions.
But some years ago, we were up at my parent's house, with my 2 brothers.
They (brothers) were talking about how good Stouffer's is; Steve and I
sat there inwardly cringing at their lack of taste. But, considering
both of them were single, it's not really a surprise. Younger brother
could cook some, older brother did well to heat water.

 DD> I had a favourite stop in Detroit Michhigan back in my truck driving
 DD> days. It was on Michigan Avenue near Briggs (basebasll) Stadium -
 DD> called the
 DD> "Starlite Cafe" the front door was lettered "Little Warsaw" although
 DD> it was run by Ukranians. As with Bianco's I'd ask "what's Mom (the
 DD> owner's mother) making tonight?" and generally order that.

Sounds like it would be a good choice.


 DD> ... What would Paula Deen do? Wrap it in bacon, dip it in batter &
 DD> deep-fry it!

 RH> You forgot that it gets slathered with butter before being wrapped in
 RH> bacon. (G)

 DD> Wouldn't fit in the tagline. No matter the truth of it.  Bv)=

 RH> Slather it with butter, wrap in bacon, batter dip, then deep fry. (G)

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

 RH> OK, "coat with butter, bacon wrap, batter dip & fry". Paula Deen

 DD> I surrender ............

Don't forget, I'm a newspaper editor's daughter. (G)

 DD> If I hit the lottery I'm going to have my dream kitchen designed as
 DD> the hum of my new home. Then hang the living, sleeping and home office
 DD> space off of that. Wall ovens, walk-in reefer, dishwasher, counter
 DD> seating for eat-in, nook for a table for six (or more), etc. And lots
 DD> or cabinet and pantry space. I've mentally budgeted U$50,000.

And maid service to keep it clean?
