Hi Dave,

 DD> supply of souffle' trays which are great for making baked spaghetti or
 DD>  pot/ shepherds/cottage pies.

 RH> Now those, I could use a couple of.

 RH> I found more like what I was looking for by chance the other night. Our
 RH> VFW had a dinner salute to mark 50 years since troops left Viet Nam,
 RH> somebody had brought fried chicken in 2 metal (about 6"x10"x2") pans.
 RH> After dinner someone had stacked the pans with a couple of pieces of
 RH> chicken left for the taking. We took it home; the pans will be nice for
 RH> small casseroles, etc.

 DD> That sounds like the nifty piece I referenced in my previous post to
 DD> you.

A nice size for making something for two people. I can make a full
recipe and put half in each pan, then pop one into the freezer for use
on a camping trip or at home when I don't feel like cooking.


 DD> My "ceramic" is actually, I think, stoneware. They be stout, hewavy
 DD> and durable. Also oven safe.

Yes, and they look so nice for taking to a pot luck or just on your
kitchen table. (G)

 DD> This recipe would work in one of the oval casseroles I linked in my
 DD> last post to you.


 DD>       Title: Loaf Pan Lasagna
 DD>  Categories: Pork, Pasta, Cheese, Herbs, Vegetables
 DD>       Yield: 2 servings

Steve's mom (Italian heritage) gave me her various recipes for sauce,
raviolis, lasagne, meat balls, etc as a wedding present. I've tweaked
some of them over the years (making a meat or spinach lasagne, changes
to the sauce, etc) but keeping fairly close to the original. Best other
than our home made lasagne we ever had was back in the early 90s, Olive
Garden was running a lasagne lover's special where you could get 2
different ones on one plate. We each got 2, traded halves so each had 4
different lasagnes. Our consensus was that the seafood lasagne was the
best other than the traditional cheese version. Sadly we've never seen
it anywhere else, nor back at OG since then.
