t Looks suspiciously at Dana That's some sort of trick, isn't it? Those "ninth circle of hell" posts are tipping me off.
Is that really the impression of Houston yo want me to have?

What is even happening?
lasagna (with cottage cheese instead of ricotta).
Barf! Blech!Cheese wise, and lasagna wise, there's not a huge difference. The cheeses are similar. The biggest difference is probably curd size and iirc, the oven makes that less noticeable. I only use ricotta, but I've had the cottage cheese sort, and provided the sauce is okay, it's fine, provided you mix in garlic, parsley, and eggs, like you would with the ricotta.
I've never even heard of Buca di Beppo. It sounds made up.
Me, neither, and it does. We have so many good, Italian restaurants in the area (because we have a large Italian-American population) that I've never been to too many chain Italian restaurants. I have tried the Macaroni Grill, twice. It's not bad. I've never seen an Olive Garden. I've seen plenty of ads; I just can't recall driving by one, anywhere.

We had Peter Piper Pizza, which is similar to CEC. I can see how it would be the 9th circle of hell, but kids really do adore it.

I've got a recipe for tiramisu that, if I do say so myself, isn't half-bad. Uses pound cake instead of ladyfingers, but it's still tasty, if expensive to make (mascarpone cheese costs a fortune!).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Was there cute waitstaff at Buca Di Beppo, Perkins? I mostly remember frowning. It didn't seem like we were expected to have fun.

Are you saying that stuff happens in HP6? So it's not like Dostoevsky's Notes From Underground then?

Or HP5, apparently.

Ah. I see. The cottage cheese lasagne I had didn't have none o' that fancy foreign stuff in it.

Eggs? In lasagna? Why?
I've been eating both straight ricotta cheese and straight cottage cheese recently, and they're pretty similar. Different, but not strikingly different.
But I make lasagna without boiling the noodles, so make of that what you will.
