Galley Wench's Lasagna
"I've been making lasagna for years and have been asked many times for the recipe. Unfortunately there isn't one, I'm one of those cooks who uses the basic recipe and then embellishes. But just for my friend Vicki down in Mexico, I'm attempting to put it in writing. Because many of these ingredients are not readily available in Mexico, I've added some suggested substitutions."
