    Lasagna Update

    No. Damned. Ricotta.

    =

    No. Damned. Lasagna.

    (And I know I had ricotta. It was in the fridge. Yes, it WAS. Now it is gone. And I don't remember eating it. Nope. Not me.)

    (No, it didn't get put in the freezer by mistake. I'm not in the habit of putting cheeses in the freezer mistakenly. They all go in the drawer in the fridge labeled "Butter/Cheese". And anyway, I just looked in the freezer. No ricotta.)

    (Of course, I do find myself eating constantly these days and my diet doesn't officially begin until the 5th. Suddenly I realize out of the blue that I'm...eating AGAIN. Maybe I DID eat the ricotta.)

    Damn. No lasagna.
