Squash is a weird thing to put in lasagna.

I enjoy her company, but not squash.

I do have a cat. One cat.

I put a layer of zucchini in my lasagna to lower the carbs. Some people use
eggplant. And some just use the vegetables and no noodles. But spaghetti
squash? I don't think so.

My mom used to make it when she and my dad were on Weight Watchers. She
never fed it to my brother and I. We got the real thing, which wasn't very
good because her sauce came from a packet.

A few years ago I saw a recipe for spaghetti squash that sounded good in
that we all liked the other ingredients that went into it. What we didn't
like was the spaghetti squash. That thing was a pain to cook and another
pain to get the strands out. I never did get all of the strands out and
just gave up. When I went to buy one the only ones they had were HUGE!
I've heard that they can be cooked in the microwave but there was no way I
could fit it in mine. Mine isn't tiny but neither is it as big as some are.

The end result was just inedible and a waste of money.

As for having other people cook for me, this is something I wouldn't much
like or appreciate. Having lived on my own for many years, I have no
problem throwing together a quick meal. And I am perfectly happy eating
things that others might not consider a meal. Like popcorn and soup.
