Lasagna-Gate Followup

Governor to be Andrew Cuomo went on the radio to quell the controversy that is known as Lasagna-gate, in which his mother called Sandra Lee's recipe "not the way you make a lasagna." He said, "Sandy's cooking is very good cooking... My mother's cooking is very good cooking. As an independent Democrat, I eat everybody's lasagna. I eat conservative's lasagna. I eat liberal lasagna." Cuomo suggested Ms. Lee used cottage cheese in her recipe because ricotta was scarce in Wisconsin where Lee grew up: "I thought she was very industrious, Sandy, coming with cottage cheese when she couldn't come up with ricotta cheese."
