I think I have made one in my life. I guess when I lived there, it was never a big thing in the UK and when I emigrated I didn't catch the lasagna bug. <br /><br />Caught the other bugs though.

No, I'm just kidding, I have no idea what that means.<br /><br />My lasagna is an all day affair - 3 hours of the sauce simmering, then making it in the slow cooker for another couple hours. It's heavenly, though, so I don't mind.<br /><br />I've never seen bed bugs up close, and I hope for my sake I never do!A Beer for the Showerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17029139745335325356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-76021273194419350432016-01-22T20:12:31.826-05:002016-01-22T20:12:31.826-05:00Never knew we could have cockroach problems in Can...Never knew we could have cockroach problems in Canad, it seems I was wrong Gary.

It seems to work for us. Of course it doesn't stop them coming inside. There was a report on TV about bedbugs in hotels in Australia. I'm pretty sure they aren't endemic in households here.

They figured they picked them up from a cheap hotel they had stayed in. They had a mess to get it all cleaned up; ended up buying a new mattress which they needed anyway, and doing lots of laundry; etc. I'm surprised about the cockroaches in Canada, I would have thought too cold for them. <br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-35948049265943803122016-01-22T08:51:51.720-05:002016-01-22T08:51:51.720-05:00I have used that bed bug registry in the past JoJo...I have used that bed bug registry in the past JoJo.
