Can You Say Lasagna?

I have been the very lucky recipient of very generous: family, friends and neighbors bringing amazing food, flowers and gifts. The outpouring of support after surgery lifted our spirits and helped us get back to our routine after some scary cancer news. We could not have gotten along so well without all the support especially the meals. And boy did we get some awesome meals. On last count the Lasagnas had it hands down with seven in the freezer and 2 in the frig. We were both thankful and a bit overwhelmed.

Now not to look a gift horse in the mouth but for our small family of three this is enough Lasagna to last us until the cows come home. Except I think the cows had to keep working to make all of that cheese. Speaking of cheese...It is probably one of my favorite foods, except after abdominal surgery. You see cheese can be binding. Not exactly what the nurses and doctors were looking for at the hospital. For five days the big question was have you passed gas? Fortunately, postoperately, I did just as expected and dutifully passed by share of gas. I even had a lose stool before discharge. Hooray!

After returning home I started eating all that delicious cheese. We did try to intersperse it with a few veggies and other food choices. But we had Lasagna for lunch and dinner for weeks. Talk about gas (and gas pain). My husband assures me though the hearty meals have brought me back to health. Thank you family and friend for all of your wonderful meals!
