Doesn't matter. I'm not a fool with my gold, hon.
A fool for cooking tasty food for guests, tasty food with quality ingredients.
$80 isn't even a blip in my radar.

That's really odd and kind of sad.
Why is that sad?
Lean meat, four cheeses, all the other stuff
Yummy
Yeah. The crowd pleasing lasagna that I make costs closer to $8 per x-large pan.
What kind of lean meat are you using ?
That sounds terrible. You will get cancer eating bad things.
It's lasagna for crying out loud. It's a treat not health food.
Even if I make it using zucchini or eggplant it isn't that expensive. What on earth are you putting into an $80 tray of lasagna?
It may be a "treat" but there's a hell of a lot of difference to how your body will handle mass produced parmesan "cheeze" and how it will handle local cheese from grass fed cows, for example.
NP. I wouldn't recommend using Kraft cheese, but it's a waste of $$ to buy a pricey cheese that's best enjoyed on its own or as a complement to perhaps one other flavor.
To cover it with tomato sauce, meat, pasta, etc. kind of ruins it.
But you're the expert!

+1 I'm coming with you
+2. I came here to read some stories about b*tchy guests and drunk uncles, not 50 line posts about freakin lasagna and how much is reasonable to spend on food for 20 people.
C'mon, doesn't somebody have a juicy story to share about their MIL calling them a c*nt or something? We couldn't travel for Thanksgiving this year so I got 0.0 drama of my own. I was counting on living vicariously through DCUM!
Nah. We didn't travel, but even when we do there is no drama like this. So no good stories.
I do think it's funny how DCUM can take something like money spent on a casserole or a question asked about cookware and turn it into such hot controversy.

Well, some of us prefer to make love you know.
And a high quality pie costs around $50 make. And using store bought canned whip cream?? Horrors.

You did not. And if you spent that much AND are that much of a bean-counter, then chances are you live well outside your means and have tons of credit card debt.
I often spend that much on a holiday meal.
We spend $400 on alcohol alone.
Wow, how many people do you invite?
20
But that because I'm buying red wine, white wine, beer, brandy, cognac, whiskey, vodka, baileys. I would die if someone asked for something and I didn't have it.
Oh but would you die?
How about a nice, moderate meal and donate to charity? That much money for one meal is gross.
Of ffs. It's $50 a head for unlimited food and alcohol. It's like heaven.
