I didn't realize it was the google groups that were causing the problem. I've seen it happen but didn't know why. |

Not according to the docs for the quotefix program, at least, doesnt look like it will touch googlegroups messes. If it does, the poor documentation doesnt lead to seeing that. Besides, the issue isnt Julie's OE client but the fact that all of us just have to adapt around the poor handling of googlegroups and apparently Win Live. It is irritating but for the interesting posts, I correct them for the other person on reply. |

Thanks Janet, I will give nutmeg a try. I believe Goomba also mentioned that. I bought fresh nutmeg when I was traveling, but for some reason, I do not use it very often. I do like it, what I dislike is when people use too much cloves. Becca |

I'm not sure how many people here *do* use Windows Live Mail. It can't be all that many; the program falls into the "epic suck" category for me. At any rate, his thread has degenerated to the point where it reminds me of Monty Python: "I think that all good, right thinking people in this country are sick and tired of being told that all good, right thinking people in this country are fed up with being told that all good, right thinking people in this country are fed up with being sick and tired. I'm certainly not, and I'm sick and tired of being told that I am." ObFood: Going to the Sacramento farmers' market in the morning; there's a good chance the Stockton asparagus will be there. Bob |

I can't stand too much nutmeg. If I use it, I use only a pinch. That I can tolerate. But any more than that and it just tastes vile to me. I do like the smell of it though. |

> wrote: > I have not ever use eggs in Lasagna > and i have also not heard about this ever There's nothing like a badly worded OP to stir the pot. People mix an egg in with the ricotta to make it runnier and easier to spread. Then when it bakes, it's not watery because the egg tightens back up. If you don't have any eggs on hand it's not the end of the world, just leave it out and use a little water. If you're allergic to eggs, use egg free pasta and leave the egg out of the ricotta. Honestly, I don't understand why this thread has gone on for so many days. It's pretty simple. Do it or don't do it. Either way is fine. It's not like you're supposed to be see a layer of eggs. Think about eating a piece of cake or a cookie. The egg is there, but you don't bite into it and think "I'm eating scrambled eggs". -- Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that held its ground. |

Never have I put in an egg in any form. As for size, build a couple of small ones in those 9 by 3 baking dishes, or build some individuals in boats. I count out the noodles I need, and do a couple of extras for breakage. If I have an extra noodle or two, I build an individual. Waste not..... No one should have a problem eating leftovers. If someone disdains leftovers, I call it a form of snob-ism. It used to be considered a sin to waste food. |

Do it or don't do it. Either way is fine. > It's not like you're supposed to be see a layer of eggs. Think about > eating a piece of cake or a cookie. The egg is there, but you don't > bite into it and think "I'm eating scrambled eggs". I just wanted to know if it would work without the egg. I didn't want to waste a lot of money. |

I add eggs to the ricotta cheese (1 egg per pound.) I blend it in a food processor for a couple of minutes until it is *smooth*. But I bet it would work OK without the eggs too. I think Julie also asked about vegetables (and the tomatoes and onions don't count.) I sometimes put frozen spinach in mine -- thawed and squeezed. -Bob |
