I'm a Texas girl... I'm not Italian... so when I share my lasagna recipe I'm sharing... MY recipe. Surely if you're an Italian girl from NJ you wouldn't need my humble little attempt at an Italian dish. And yes, I HAVE tried ricotta. I think it's mealy and I don't like the texture.<BR/><BR/>As for not replying to your comment(s), I apologize. Here's the thing: I own my own oil and gas business that requires my full-time attention and extensive traveling. I volunteer. I teach Sunday School. I'm writing a book. I'm renovating a very large house and garden. I have an etsy site to help fund various charges/causes. I have a large circle of family and friends who daily/weekly rely on me for a variety of things. I blog when I have time and get an average about 75-100 emails a day. My phone rings off the wall. I don't get much sleep and rarely sit still. I'm doing the best I can and reply to comments and emails as I can. A little slack is not expected but would be appreciated. What exactly were you hoping for a response on?<BR/><BR/>That said, I'm grateful for your comment and welcome anyone's take on anything... even if it's on my lasagna. I've obviously heard a little lasagna criticism before! :D<BR/><BR/>BrinBrinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06516947462811712702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14774195.post-31864309247551492682008-04-10T13:33:00.000-05:002008-04-10T13:33:00.000-05:00Hi!

Being a die hard NJ girl and all of my Italian ancestors on my Mom's side would have to ask "Have you ever TRIED using Ricotta cheese?" I was so excited to get your recipe and then felt soooooo let down when I saw cottage cheese! While it may be tasty...it's just not ITALIAN.<BR/><BR/>Ya know what I mean? :-)<BR/><BR/>Sorry I'm not as upbeat as your other comments, but then again, any time I do leave a nice comment on your site, you don't usually reply back. So I figured I had nothing to lose here.<BR/><BR/>I'll keep checking back and you did inspire me to break out my lasagna recipe.
