You don't have to precook lasagna noodles before baking your recipe despite most of directions you may read.
I proved it today, after following a notation rarely found.

It works perfectly, saving a step in the process!

Two different reactions to the rain today - one from locals, celebrating drought relief - the other from confined campers looking for scrabble games for something to do.
A local came to the rescue, offering to loan a game, an offer quickly accepted by one camper with the comment, 'We're so bored, we're going out of our minds!'
How anyone in this day and age can be bored is beyond me.
Now I love the game of Scrabble, too; but everyone can think of something to do, if they'll simply set their minds to it - with or without a scrabble game!

We mourn the loss of each and everyone who sacrificed life in a fight for freedom.
It is sad, too, that so many die in traffic accidents.
Media, however, seldom if ever, present the numbers as shown above, giving readers and viewers a perspective.
