Hello Everyone,
I know that with all the unhappy news having been posted recently (and if I missed out on any condolences, I am truly sorry), I hope that even though summer's about to officially end, you are all in good health and good spirits.
A couple of weeks ago my sister and her hubby, who live in Scotland, came over the pond for a 3 week visit. It was wonderful! I took a full week off from work and have never had a better time with my oldest sis! We are both quite emotional about our elderly parents' states, but we laughed and cried and had the BEST time together!
Now to get to my post. I made an 8-layer lasagna from issue 48 and the Pineapple Crisp for her and my folks and she went wild over both!! I gave her both the recipes with instructions and a package of instant tapioca that she would not be able to get in Edinburgh. <<<Hugs to Jean, that's the "recipe of the year!!>>>
Anyway, Kim loved the lasagna so much, she vowed not to leave any leftover, and didn't. She told me horror stories of what the Scottish consider lasagna, and vowed to make it for her choir group at Greyfriars Kirk the next time they have their version of a pot luck dinner. The problem is, she cannot obtain any fresh Italian pork sausage for the meat sauce. So we were trying to figure out a recipe she could follow, but couldn't come up with any, especially the spices involved. She was so impressed with the layering and enormity of the project, she even wrote me the lovliest thank you note which she tucked in my lasagna pan after she cleaned it. I wish I could scan it, her penmanship is to die for! I'd really like to help her out so she could make this for her choir friends.
Does anyone have a recipe I could write to her about?
Thanks in advance!!
Barbara

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Then find someone whose life has given them vodka.
