If it has ricotta - that.

This. I know some recipes don't have it but overall, not a fan.

We play better when we eat our cheddar,
We can't miss when we eat our swiss,
We play D when we eat our brie,
You gotta, you gotta, you gotta eat ricotta.

I love ricotta but yea, it can stay out of my lasagna.

I know it's not the best pizza you can get, but I used to love when Mod Pizza had ricotta as a topping option - that was really good.

Never was much of a fan of lasagna. The components themselves are awesome. Who doesn't love various kinds of cheeses and veggies and pasta and meats (if that's your thing). I just think there are vehicles for those ingredients that I enjoy more. Like Pizza. Calzones. Other kinds of pasta. The work to make quality lasagna turns me away from it.

Ricotta in lasagna is a must

Sun dried tomatoes in Lasagna is the bomb.

As long as that gulag doesn't serve lasagna.

Just leave out the ricotta, béchamel, whatever you don't like :shrug: Lasagna with a good red sauce and fresh mozzarella is still damn good lasagna.

A buttery, well-seasoned and properly baked pastry filled with yummy things can never be pointless.

Stanley Cup hockey is so, so, so good- even when you know nothing about hockey.

It's great, & even better when your favorite team is participating. But alas, not this year (again).

Have you guys ever thought how many of your clones would it take to beat Giannis/Lebron 1 on Clones? Like I'm thinking it is a possibility with training and practice with a decent coach that 15 of me of would be an even match. 10 of me always forming a multi-layer wall and 3 on-ball defenders to force contested 12 footers and having one of me cherry-picking......Even then I'm not sure I would pick me ML.

If it's make it take it and I get ball first, I think I could maybe do it with 3, but I'd have to execute.

I'll say 4 so I can just watch, in case all my clones die.

Found an old video of MJ vs Charlie and Martin Sheen. They did some handicap rules and MJ wasnt being his normal self, but it actually showed the strength in numbers and getting the spacing right. Gave me some confidence on offense. On defense though, no idea how I stop Giannis from getting to close enough to dunk every possession.

I think you just have to go all out trying to take the ball from him. You have nothing to lose (apart from teeth).
