A couple of weeks ago my wife made lasagna for when my daughter was
coming for the weekend and there would be 6 of us for dinner. She made
it the day before.

Ricotta cheese alone was 4#. plus sausage, ground beef, sauce, other
cheeses too. When I was putting it away it was hefty so I stopped at
the scale along the way. Taking into allowance the pan and baking
sheet, the ingredients weighed 20 pounds!

For dinner, we ate less than a third of it. None went to waste though.
Daughter took some home, grandson took some home, I took plenty to
share at work, we had another two nights dinner. Even though there was
6 of us for dinner, at least 11 of us had one or more meals from it.
