The only info I can find is that the word lasagna comes from the Latin lasanum, meaning cooking pot. A bulbous, bright, white sun usually peers out from the behind the clouds and brightens the white blanket outside. It was on these crisp wintry days that my Mom would make the family stacks of blueberry pancakes . For years I did not know what to do with frozen spinach . The one time I did buy it, I bought a supermarket brand of chopped spinach and folded in the leaves was a large, brown, winged bug.
Pumpkins are synonymous with autumn.
In mid- September you begin to see bright golden gourds as they mature through autumn. The long seasoned variety, known as pump- kins, or the quick growing small fruited bushed squash, are commonly grown in the United States, Great Britian and Europe. Such a delectable taste for so humble a creature. It's a very versatile meat and readily available at local markets. That's the title of a pamphlet I received recently from longtime reader Cynthia Tiaro of Fort Lauderdale, who asked why I include dairy in my recipes.
