Hi Dave,
DD> I find that every "store bought" lasagna I have tries is sorely under

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

If Grandma is cooking, it's got to be good. Don't remember if Grandpa
Sam's (the one we've been to a couple of times with Steve's mom &
siblings) has a special like that but we've enjoyed it. Steve's older
sister and husband always get the chicken parm, whenever/wherever
they're at an Italian place; we try different things to see how they
compare to what we make or have had in other places. I had the chicken
piccotta last time which got me thinking about making my own--which
turned out surprisingly easy to do.

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

I understand. Deborah gave my parents a portable dishwasher, fit right
beside the counter that separated the kitchen and dining room. OTOH, I
like my built in--but would settle for a portable if I had no other
option. Mom could have put in a built in when she had the kitchen
remodeled but didn't want to give up cabinet space, and said she had
enough dishwasher/dryer help when we were home. At that time only the
last of the 5 kids was at home full time; I was married & others were in
various colleges or otherwise on their own.
