I'm getting settled in.

The new people are very nice.  Also friendly.  Every Wednesday is pot luck lunch, and all staff takes turns bringing the main dish.  When I came, they were eating in the copy room combination staff break room, sitting on  the file cabinets.  I invited them into my room, as I have lots of chairs , a stove , a frig and a sink.  Can;t think why I backed into such a cool room.  When I was working in the penitentiary, if you wanted a nicer room or more supplies, you had to send you inmate parateacher to play 'let's make a deal' with whoever had what you wanted.  That's how I got my coffee pot back then. I'd tell you what I traded, but I'm not sure what the statute of limitations is on that stuff.  Suffice it to say , it was not my virtue!  That's been gone for quite some time.

At any rate, today it was my turn to bring the main dish, and I made lasagne, Beth's recipe. They all acted like they loved it, but who would not live my youngest's lasagne?  Problem is the new math teacher , who is from India, can't eat cheese (that cow thing), and is allergic to wheat.  Since we are becoming friends(she taught in Ohio before coming to the rez, and I always loved Ohio. Hell, I'm still a closeted Cleveland Browns fan).  Anyone have any suggestions for what I can make next time?  A recipe that has no wheat and no dairy products?  Get back to me on this.
