Summer as I know it is about to come to an end in five days. There will be no more breakfast on my front porch. Sleeping past five AM will be not be a choice. Reading a good book late at night will come to a screeching halt. Summer has been fun, but way too short. School is starting a month earlier than most schools in other parts of the country. We get lots of breaks, but I so miss the first day of school starting after Labor Day! It will be bedtime at 9:30 and the alarm will go off at 4:50! So Tuesday it is official I will a working girl again!
I have dreamed of making a great lasagna. You know the real Italian kind that’s labor intensive and that has your heart in it from start to finish. And yes, this is that recipe! This is not a recipe that you can make at the spur of the moment. It will take a little over an hour to put it together and about an hour to bake it, but it is so worth it!
If you want to impress someone with a great appetizer this is for you. It will get you rave reviews no matter where you take it. My friend Marilyn has served this many, many times and it is always a hit. In fact, if she doesn’t bring it she is really in trouble. The recipe has been shared with everyone and I have it somewhere, but when I wanted to make it last month for my tennis match in Newnan I could not find it. Syble of course had the recipe and sent it to me. So I’m in the grocery store buying everything and the recipe doesn’t say what size can of deviled ham to use. Thank goodness for phone cameras and text messaging. I took a picture of both sizes of ham and sent it to Syble and the small can was the winner. Speaking of using your phone camera in the store. I get the biggest kick watching husbands shopping for groceries. There will be some conversation followed by picture-taking and more conversation, ” Okay good I’ll get this.” What a help for husbands that don’t have a clue about shopping.
