Mrs. Desi Arnaz Jr. Lasagna

Lasagna, American style. Meat, cheese (mozzarella and ricotta), tomato sauce, thick noodles. When I make lasagna, I do it the traditional Italian way with a bechamel sauce, a pork/veal/beef ragu and home made paper thin pasta. But, I did it Alice's way today. She was unclear on her layering directions, but I improvised and think it will be fine. As a bonus, we have out first dinner guest since embarking on this project. Denni and I share a BBBF (Brady Bunch Best Friend), Kristy, who is in town and happy to partake. Talk about bittersweet moments.

Episode Note: "The Possible Dream" Marcia is in love with Desi Arnaz Jr. She faithfully writes in her diary every day how dreamy he is. But tragedy strikes when her diary is mistakenly given away to a charitable used book sale. Marcia is mortified by the notion that someone may read her deepest and most personal thoughts about someday being Mrs. Desi Arnaz, Jr. In true Brady fashion, the family bands together and sets out to find the diary. Meanwhile, Alice calls her friend who happens to be Lucille Ball's housekeeper to arrange for a meeting between the two. When Desi drops by and gives Marcia a kiss on her cheek, she swears she'll never wash again. Even the return of her diary seems not to matter when standing in the presence of ultimate grooviness.
