A Continuous Stream of Consciousness was not an efficacious method of clear communication, James Joyce noted sadly

Reply to comment by reddpapad in LPT: For those who don't want to make a giant meal on Christmas, make Christmas Lasagna by timbillyosu
You're welcome! It's a good trick for New Years, too. Perfect for a low effort hangover meal if you make it ahead of time.

I would kill for someone to give me one lol. I am definitely going to add this to my list for next year. Thanks for the inspiration!

I also used to make a big pan for us and several smaller pans to give to single friends and co-workers. It was easy to throw together when I already had the mess made and they really appreciated it.

I think it’s a great idea. You can make a small pan or a large one for however large your crowd.
That person is abnormal if they would be mad about being served homemade lasagna.

School - with its “500 word essay” requirements - trains us to ‘pad’ our writing. It takes significant effort to un-train ourselves.

I got a new job that’s paying 25k more than my previous one. I’m willing to deal with the downside of occasionally having to scrape my car, for an extra 25k a year.

You can control where you live and where you work. You choose to live in car-dependent place. I choose to not live in such a place, therefore I never have to worry about shoveling snow when it gets cold. Also don't need to worry about car door freezing, don't need to worry about pushing snow out of my driveway etc. I just put my winter boots on and that's basically it.

I can’t control that my workplace doesn’t have an underground parking garage.

I understand and it was for me growing up, too. Guess this tip works for those of us that aren't cooking for as many people.

Oh hush, plenty of people get mildly worried/stressed about hosting events for a bunch of people, especially if they’re making everything. Something could go wrong with a recipe (or the timing of multiple dishes if it’s their first time making this much at once), they could be worried about not having their place clean enough yet, there could be some family tension over politics or religion or whatever, or it could just be mild anxiety over how much stuff there is to do…plenty of things to worry about.
And yeah, this absolutely comes off as a brag, congrats on all your experience hosting.

if my family invited me to christmas dinner and gave me lasagna I would be PISSED. But the food is a very large part of christmas in my family so that would never happen
