 NB>> I can buy the local Friday tradition... but I don't understand how the

Most lasagnes I've seen have had some sort of meat in them, except for
Michel Angelo's veggie lasagne..  But I guess there's a lot of cheese
versions of most of the other filled pastas...  :)

At El Latino, one does have to ask for something to take the leftovers
home in, it's not automatic, since there's no serving otherwise... Maybe
you just have to ask for a container.  :)

Perhaps.  :)  

 NB>>> Had you been to the Mexican place before, or was it a
 NB>>> first-timer...?
 RH>> We'd been there before but not for a while.
 NB>> So a known quantity, and a bit special...  :)

 RH> Yes, and plans to go back in the not too distant future. Won't let

We make resolves like that... sometimes it works...  ;)

... Too many have dispensed with generosity in order to practice charity.
