Ground chuck and spaghetti sauce with the lasagna noodles. Layer it all and bake until melted. Yum!!!!

I think there is something to that survival mode thing.
Have you ever noticed that when asked by a hostess in a restaurant, "Table or booth?" -- most of us say booth. I know I do. I have heard that it is because of our primitive days when food was hard to come by. So when we found it, we had to hide and eat it. A primitive lot we all still may be.
I also have been overwhelmed somewhat with the desire to organize everything in my house, including the basement.
And I am looking seriously at a plaid fabric sample.
How are those things connected? -- you might be wondering at this late hour when Boomer can sound so totally nuts.
Well, maybe the organizing is because it would be something over which to be able to have a little control.
And the same with the plaid. I have heard that it comes into fashion in difficult times because it is such an orderly pattern.
Psych 101 for me tonight it looks like.
But I am still thinking about cheese and more cheese and chocolate too and those wonderful real mashed potatoes and all. You know, to keep up my strength for all that organizing. That's my story and I'm sticking with it.
