I just thought that the fresh ones might go gooey being so long in the CP.
I have dried my own fresh ones in the past but I didn't have any.

I come to realize that, when I was younger, I was a good looking guy. I
never knew! That's good because believing you're good-looking will only
stunt your growth as an adult. These days I can appreciate my goofy
looks - babies seem to be fascinated with the white hair emanating from
my face and I just love making weird-ass faces at them. It's gotten to
be a hobby of mine.

You are a lot of fun and that is worth more to me than conventional 'good
looks' :)) Tastes vary in that regard anyway:))

I almost forgot to thank you! I do appreciate you sending that. Others
said it looked too dry. Did you think it was? Would you change this
next time you make it? Inquiring mind wants to know. ;-D

You are welcome:) I agree it looks dry in the pics but D. says it was not!
It didn't seem dry when I was cutting it up. One thing though I did do ...
thinking about it, I put more beef in than the recipes decrees. I minced it
myself and there was some (not a lot) of it left over when I weighed it so I
bunged it in!!! I am notorious though for deviating from a recipe but I
don't think I did it too much <g> I will be interested in how yours turns
out. Who knows, you may show me the error of my ways .. ;-)

As I said originally, the large amount of beef is what appealed to me
in the first place. I often add more than what a recipe calls for,
especially with red pasta sauce. I was just thinking that if your's
was a bit dry (and I had that problem once), maybe just cooking the
pasta first might eliminate that. I'm sure the dry pasta sucked up a
lot of the moisture.

I'll talk to you again next time I make lasagna. Right now though,
I'm working on eliminating freezer things. Hurricane season here is
coming up very soon. It's best to not store much cold food in case a
storm takes out electricity for several days. No problem if you have
a backup generator but I don't.

Another good thing to have on hand during the prime hurricane season
is at least $100 in cash, small bills. In my area, we lost all
electricity for 3 days. Some of the stores opened up with generators
but it was cash only as their credit/debit machines didn't work. I
learned my lesson that time. I had plenty of money in the bank but no
cash and I couldn't buy anything.

When I goto my bank tomorrow morning, I'm getting $100 in one dollar
bills. They come wrapped up (with a band around them) in $50
increments. :-D

I have noticed lately that a lot of young people do not carry cash.
They use debit cards even for small purchases. A guy at the dog park was
telling me about the dog catcher coming by and selling licenses and he
didn't have the $17 " Who carries cash like that these days?" ???

Hmmm ok that is something to think on, but I repeat, D said it wasn't at all
dry, so not sure what difference it would make. As I said, I won't be
making any for a while, because there are 3 huge portions in the freezer.

Yes, please do.

We don't suffer with that but yes, we do have a gennie. D is a prepper so
we are always well prepared for just about anything :) Might be something
you could save for? I like the idea I have full freezers and store 'just in
case'. And that doesn't mean, in case the world falls in .. but it could be
that we are sick and can't get out, or an unusually high bill comes in and
we don't have to dip into savings ... oh all kinds of things:))
Fill in your reasons here ... ;-)

Good! Best be prepared always. No point in complaining if you didn't have
everything ready that you need:))

Well done:))

Good move. There's only so much you can eat in the couple
of days you can keep things cold in a cooler.

Really, we went through a lot of cash after Sandy. Buying firewood
10 logs at a time if you could find it. Food. Etc. Cash was king.

I was amazed at how many people were caught with an empty gas
tank and what a huge hassle that was. Even the stations that
had power or generators had trouble with supply since the refineries
were also struggling with power. What a drag.

Sadly, that's me too often. I try to carry at least $20 in my wallet
but even when I do, it goes way down in just one purchase. I mostly
buy with my debit card. If I need cash back, I'll get some but my main
store doesn't even offer that.

I always pay for my groceries in the supermarket with a debit card and the
cashier always asks "Cash back?"

I always pay for groceries with a debit card too. The machine asks,
"Cash back?" I will opt for a bit only if I have very little in my
wallet. I hate to go into someplace and the bill is so low and I have
to use a debit card. If a bill is under $10, I'd rather pay in cash.

Huh... $17 is chump change. I carried more cash than that when I was
ten years old... I always had a job, even as a kid and I was paid in
cash so I always carried cash. As an adult I don't leave home without
a few hundred bucks in my wallet, and I keep way more cash at home.
Many a time I've saved substantially by being able to pay cash at the
moment. Call a plumber, electrician, a guy to take down a tree, or
any workmen, they don't take plastic and if you pay by check you pay
full price, I ask how much for cash and most will knock off 20% or
more, and not charge sales tax... they'd much rather leave with $200
in green money than with a check for $250.

A lot of those people are getting whacked with service fees when they
use their cards. It makes much more sense to pay the fee and get out
the cash you will need. When travelling, I take some local currency
and then use my debit card at a bank. I get a better exchange rate but I
have to pay an access fee. I will withdraw the maximum so that don't
have to go back and pay that fee again.

The majority of lasagna that I've had were wet and goopy - what a mess! If your lasagna doesn't just droop all to hell, god bless you!

For small purchases like gasolene I generally pay with cash, for large
purchases and on line purchases I use a credit card, for items where
the warranty is critical, like TVs, PCs, appliances I use my AMEX...
AMEX doubles the warranty period, and they are very good at
withholding payment to the seller when you have a dispute. I don't
own a debit card, can't be bothered with all the bookkeepping, I don't
see any advantage to a debit card anyway. I've never used an ATM
either, I see no need, just another thing needs accounting. If at my
age I don't know how much cash I'll need for say a week then I need to
sign myself into an HOA Asylum/Gated Community where I'll be taken
care of.

dear fat ass


good morning fat ass
how will your day go?
will you be stared at like an enourmous blob?
or be taunted and teased all day long?

people say you can't do anything
you cant do this or that
but you will sure show them
when your fat ass is in control

it is all your fault fat ass
you live to eat and dont eat to live
well look at that fat ass
a greasy cheese burger streaming down your lips and chin

you are a worthless excuse for a human
no one wants to see fat
lock yourself inside your room
until your thin and flat



you would rather some one say
**** her anorexic ass
than **** you
you fat fat ass


words hurt as much as the weight
they will be with you forever
that extra baggage you can change
show them you can do something

No one wants to see a fat girl cry
tears of grease and blubber
you will no longer be the funny fat girl
you will be just as cool as any other

slide your finger down your throat
when you dream of grease and junk
the calories will fade away
down the toilet with one flush

dont eat today
you will prove them right
that is something
you just can't do

show them they dont
have control over everything
your weight
is something you do

Loose it all fat ass
I want to see coller bones
and down right thin

dont cry when you become dizzy
just know that it will help you in the end

You can feel good about yourself fat ass
you just have to learn control
your punishment is a life full of pain
and tears of grease and fried stuff

thin is the way you have always wanted to be
well you have a long journey to get there
but change your life
you **** of blubber

run run fat ass
let that fat ass shake
no one wants to see that shit
better run in your back yard instead

skinny
be thin
fat ass
be fat
when weighing out your options
which do you like better than fat?


its not lie fat ass
you have let yourself go
its time to buckle down
and crack those calories away


when it is all said and done
you will be worthy
you will feel alive again
see thin is the way to be

and you are just a fat ass with no control again.
