I just had the worst lasagna ever from a place I used to order from regularly. I couldn’t even eat it. I called them to complain and person answering phone said that’s how we make it. Think they might have changed owners. Used to have the best linguini with clams. Best pizza. Best pasta in West End. Really good customer service. Sadly, no more. My step-grandmother was Italian and her lasagna was legendary. I miss Nan and her lasagna. She made it on Thanksgiving and I noped out of the turkey for that lasagna.

Can you steer me to a good bakery? I’m in the West End and don’t drive so has to be close. I’ve lived in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Then DC area for 20+ years. I’ve been in Richmond now for 13 years. Yeah, I’m old. I love it here. Drivers here still stink but people are very nice. Until they get in their car…lol. Well, that might be my old age talking.

And bakeries. My father is dead now but I always looked forward to visiting him in NJ - right outside of Philly. The food was awesome there and there was the best Italian restaurant close to his house. You could bring your own wine there and pay a $2 corkage fee. The bakery was next door. And cheaper alcohol was right down the road. My husband and I had a food/alcohol roadmap every time we went to visit. I miss that. And actual hoagies. And my dad.

I retired to Richmond. Been here 13 years. I was born in Alaska and worked my way down. People here in RVA are nice. And they get to places on time. Not being late was an adjustment for me for sure. I was always surprised when someone showed up on time. Used to it now…haha. Couldn’t go farther south though.
