After years of swearing up and down that I HATE ricotta cheese, I'm starting to think that I actually like it. I might have to re-try a cannoli someday. You know, so I can be absolutely sure. Lasagna is delicious. Who knew? I foresee even more variations of lasagna being crocked in the future. Besides, I have to make up for the 29 years or so I'd gone lasagna-less somehow, right?
