    Wonderful !
    It's great that nothing went wrong -although perhaps my 6th sense about it turning out that way for you was nothing more than a pure lucky feeling !
    Now - to Thanksgiving Day - the only thing that MIGHT be of possible concern is deep-frying the turkey - or have you decided on another approach to that, or to another main meat dish in substitution ?

    In any event, have a good one !

    Thanks Paul on all accounts!

    I am leaning on going traditional oven on the turkey this time. Its supposed to be insanely cold here... mid 20s and 17 mph winds.. I dont think thats turkey frying weather. At least its not in my book.

    Having a single oven though makes it difficult so I hit the attic and brought down an old portable Roaster over. Too small for a 23 lb turkey but just right for a lasagna made in an turkey roaster pan.

    Having never made lasagna in roaster oven and Not wanting to make a mess of it I made a test run last night. Used store bought dry lasagna strips to test... it and guage the time... 2 1\2 hrs at 370 F.. perfecto.
    The real lasagna will be homemade strips and meatballs.

    Now I can cook the turkey in the oven and the lasagna in the roaster oven.

    The test run lasagna looks mouth-watering, and the formal version for day after tomorrow sounds even better with meatballs and using home-made pasta !

    Glad to hear and see your roof was replaced in time without major damages to plywood sheathing. Looks great.
    Now your Thanksgiving lasagna dish even looks much better. You still have that Italian in you Al and sure your guests will enjoy all that is on the menu.

    Yipee! I think your dinner will be as big of a success from what I’ve seen so far. Maybe that’s why when my husband called asking what to bring home for dinner, I kept thinking Italian! That lasagna looks great. We had pizza

    Hey Al, don't forget to tell us how it all went after Thanksgiving - just want to make sure nothing messed up your lovely Thanksgiving dinner.

    When I told my wife Linda (who is Italian) about your roof leak issue, getting it fixed at the 11th hour, and your doing a test run of lasagna in your attic retrieved roasting oven before the big day, in order to be able to do the turkey in the oven, she said:
    ".... of course, all Italian families must have a pasta with all their celebration dinners with family & friends, particularly Thanksgiving & Christmas, etc...." ---- it all sounded very normal/natural to her.
