End of Month Special: Lasagna Sandwich

"I'm not going to try it"
"Let's ask Mikey!"
"Yeah. He won't eat it - he hates everything."
"He likes it! Hey Mikey!"
- Life Cereal commercial, 1972

If the 100 layer lasagna is too much for you,
consider the Lasagna Sandwich from England. Or not. Who puts mayo on lasagna?

Ingredients: two thick slices of bread and a filling of diced beef in a tomato and herb sauce layered with cooked pasta sheets and a creamy cheddar, ricotta and mayonnaise dressing.

Bottom Line

This reminds me of a joke.

In Heaven, the wealthy live in a house with a French chef, Russian security, Italian party planner, and an English butler.

In Hell you get a house with an English cook, Italian security, Russian party planner and French butler.

Bonus History

As today is July 31, did you ever notice that the two months named after real people both have 31 days?

July = Julius Caesar
Aug = Augustus Caesar (born Gaius Octavius Thurinus)

No puny months for these famous Romans!

Bonus Trivia

In non-leap years, no other month starts on the same day of the week as August.

The Roman Senate wanted to change September to "Tiberius" to honor the next emporer but Tiberius hated flattery of any kind. He refused the honor and ended the tradition of renaming the months.

For early Romans the year started in March.

Martius (31 days) = Mar's month (honoring the God of War)
Aprilis (30 days) = named for flowers "opening up" (aperire)?
Maius (31 days) = named for the Greek goddess of fertility, Maia?
Iunius (30 days) = named for Juno, wife of Jupiter
Quintilis (31 days) = means 5th month in Latin, now July
Sextilis (30 days) = 6th month, now August
September (30 days) = 7th month
October (31 days) = 8th month
November (30 days) = 9th month
December (30 days) = 10 month
