FlossTube #11 Recap

FlossTube video #11 was released May 17, 2019. If you missed it you can find it here:



Mother's Day Lasagna Recipe

Here is the recipe I made for Mother's Day. This is my mom's recipe and it is super easy. You can make it the day or night before. Don't cook it. Just cover it and put it in the refrigerator.



Cook Noodles

Cook 9 lasagna noodles per package directions

Brown the following:

1 lb ground beef (I actually used 3/4 lb Italian Sausage (not breakfast) and 3/4 lb ground beef - it was more meat but it worked great and adds a little bit of spice)

1 Tbls minced onion

Simmer

Add the following to the meat and simmer
2 lb jar of spaghetti sauce. (you can't get 2 lb jars anymore so I buy one large jar and one small jar)

1 tsp garlic salt  (I used a couple of cloves of real garlic, minced, but I needed to add some garlic salt too as it tasted a little flat while the sauce was simmering

1 tsp Italian seasoning

Mix together

In a separate bowl mix together 1 small carton of cottage cheese, 1 egg and dash pepper

Layer

In a 9x13 pan (I use a glass baking dish, especially if I'm making the day before), place a layer of noodles, layer of beef, layer of cottage cheese, layer of mozzarella cheese slices (shredded fresh mozzarella is MUCH better). Repeat layers ending with mozzarella. Sprinkle with Parmesan (I grate fresh).

Bake

Preheat oven to 350 and bake for at least 45 minutes. Should be nice and brown. If it browns too fast place some aluminum foil over top for a while.  Let stand 15 minutes before serving

Illegal Charts

In this video I give some recent examples of illegal charts by a company called Joy Sunday. While some of their charts are fine - many are unauthorized copies of some of our favorite designers such as Gledon Place, Mirabilia and Lavender and Lace.

By and far companies in China and Russia are the worst offenders, but this happens all over the world including the U.S. With the advent of PDF charts the problem has increased exponentially. 

As a stitcher you play a huge part in preventing this. Do not buy charts if you aren't sure they are originals. While it is easy to be concerned with sites like AliExpress - you can find illegal charts on Amazon, Etsy, Ebay and other well-known markets. 

If you see a chart you aren't sure about but want to stitch - ask before you buy. Post a photo on FB or Instagram and ask if anyone knows anything about it. Check to see where your chart will ship from - if it is outside of the U.S. then you may need to do a little more research.

The problem is so bad that more than one designer has told me they quit designing because of it. Others have told me they spend hours and hours trying to track down pirate sites and get them to pull their charts - often to no avail. 

Don't knowingly spend your precious stitching dollars on illegal charts and when possible report the listings.
