I think she does, hence being so up in arms.

This thread has cracked me up. Can "$8 LARGE tray of lasagna" be a new DCUM thing?

It should be.
I would hope I never have the unfortunate circumstance of eating her lasagna.

You won't. You'll be able to sense it by the congealed fake "cheeze" glistening on the top.

But she said people like it.
It must be true.

I find an $8 tray of lasagna to be far more believable than an $80 tray of lasagna.

I don't think anyone doubts the $80. Did you see the links for recipes? No, you didn't.

Only the one recipe (the one that uses different meat on the bone) looks like it would cost any kind of money to make actually. It also doesn't sound much like lasagna either.

1 container grated real parm cheese ~ $6
1 bag organic spinach ~ $3

I'd say the $80 and $8 posters are both off by a bit . I also now realize that a pan of lasagna is more expensive than I realized.

One lb of ground beef won't make a large tray. You need at least 50% more ingredients. ONE egg?
How many people are you feeding, four?

I said CLOSER to $8 than $80. It was, and is, an accurate statement.

Thus, it's very expensive.

So double the meat and add an egg for a whoppin' $8.90.

Also, I personally, and i am not the poster who originally posted about the $80 lasagna, but I only use bufalo mozzarella. If you want to use REAL parmesan, that is significantly more expensive than the fake American stuff (you could never buy it for $6) with all the accordant health benefits of being made in Parma Italy with centuries old techniques and grass fed cows. To me, it's 100% worth it to spend extra for the better taste, texture, and health.

You also didn't add in fresh basil, which I always add to my lasagnas.

You are nuts. You think that people eat a quarter pound of beef in a lasagna serving? That could make lasagna for 12.

I think for a large batch you need to double ALL the ingredients.

And you're not doubling up on the ricotta cheese, sauce, or anything else?



Man, there are some clueless cooks on this thread.

4oz isn't much, plus do you only make just enough Food?

Well, I grow my own tomatoes and basil so I would have homemade sauce (better than anything you can find at the store) in my el cheapo lasagna.

I don't. Maybe if you live on a cow farm.

Yes we all knew and we all heard dear cousin.

OMG . Was this at their house or someone else's???

Our grandma's house.

Oh, no. Did grandma realize what they were doing?? How embarrassing.

Yup. We ALL did. Guess they didn't realize how well sound carries in an old house.

That is really awful. Poor Grandma!

She just served up more pie.

Curious how old you are?

Odd question, but 30.

Why are you young people making grandma do all the thanksgiving work?
Shouldn't you or your mommy be taking over?
Grandma is tired.
Heck you could make her a great grandma soon.

Who says we made her do all the work? Though it's hard to keep her out of the kitchen.
We were at her house because she insists we all come to her place, it makes her happy.
She's already a great-grandma.

That's sad

I think it's sweet that she still has the energy and desire to do that for her family. Maybe Grandma actually likes playing host.

I'm sure the family helps out with cooking/cleaning.

When they aren't f****** in a bedroom. I'm sure they help a ton.

Well, that is obviously not something that the other family members want happening in their houses either.

Can you imagine?

The rest of us were on our best behavior PP.
This cousin has always been "interesting" stolen from some of us. We all know to lock up the valuables when she comes. I guess we now have to be on hump watch too.
