A few things: I started out with four pieces of bread and lined the bottom and I think I added two more. I had a single layer with pretty much no empty spaces. I guess it depends on the size of your bread and if you want it to be a little piles up our not. I also only used 1 lb of sausage and this was plenty! I only had 2 cups of cheese, but if given the choice, I would probably use the whole 2.5.

This was excellent. I was nervous because I was making it for Bible study without ever having tried it before. The entire thing was eaten, and there were four casseroles and two baked oatmeals for about 25 people. I think it went over well because there were no onions or peppers or anything in it. You knew what you were getting! Unfortunately, I can never make it for us because Joel and Pnut wouldn't eat the eggs and Pilly probably wouldn't care for the sausage.

Fudge update: I am glad that I gave about 3/4 of the pan yesterday, but something needs to be done about the rest. Something besides me eating it. Bad things are happening. *Oh, I'm thirsty. I think I'll have a piece of fudge.* *I just did Tae-Bo for 10 minutes. That probably qualifies me for 2/3 of what is left.* Occasionally, I give the girls tiny smidgens, but really all that chocolate probably isn't good for their tiny bodies.

I only have 25 minutes until Lost starts so I don't know what to do. It doesn't feel worth it to get my sewing machine uncovered from it's stack of projects. I don't think it is a good sign that I haven't even completed one set of curtains and the weekend is rapidly approaching!

I hope you all are being more accomplished and disciplined than me!
