[Sca-cooks] Chili dishes...

[Laura C. Minnick]

The talk about chili and spaghetti and such with bland Midwestern seasoning 
reminds me of something that happened 20, 21 years ago. My then-husband and 
I were over for dinner at my folks', and Mom made 'Spinach Lasagna'. Or 
rather, she thought she did. not particularly one to pay attention and 
follow a recipe, Mom had the idea that spinach lasagna was made with 
spinach noodles. It may have been tasty, but when she pulled it out of the 
oven, it looked like a car accident. I was about 12 weeks pregnant with 
Annie, and it was all I could do to make it to the bathroom in time to lose 
my lunch. And Mom got upset and accused me of being melodramatic. But it 
was years before I could look at lasagna without flinching.
