I Baked a Condolence Casserole

Ah. But it sounds as if sozobe did it the right way, not the microwave way...

I'm scared of the day I make enough comfort casseroles to actually need a cozy....

Making a lasagna "the right way" means making one that's yummy.

Trust me, my microwave lasagna is made "the right way".

She's hardcore. It sounds like maybe casseroles are her life?

Congratulations! You now have a sense of empathy.

Some people never get it; it's hard to teach.

And you did it without having to experience the same hardship. Good for you.

Give your recipient time to digest (no pun intended) this gesture. She is in shock right now. But believe me, she will remember.

I thought everyone over the age of mmmm 30 had a casserole cozy. They're very popular errrrr common Christmas gift exchange items up here. I think I used mine once. Maybe.

The condolence casserole is a good thing, though hamburger has preferred receiving condolence bbq invitations over the summer. Bbq'd salmon, if that's not too much trouble. Set and I got the condolence cookie trays - hamburger doesn't like sweets.

I dunno, Drewdad, the microwave seems to be good for heating up water for your tea at work.

You should take pride in your act of selflessness (the unsolicited preparing of the lasagna). More people need supportive friends like you Sozobe.


There is no shame in having an ornamental goose with seasonal outfits outside ones residence.

Now... is a shameful display of lawn ornament kitsch!

And before you know it, someone will be baking you a cake, decorating it with black frosting, and throwing you an "over the hill" fortieth birthday party. Once you become an adult, time flies. . . .
