Baked ziti

Wed. 31 Jan.
We've slowly been clearing out the upstairs freezer, so now there's room enough to clear out the downstairs freezer. The last thing to go was the extra baked ziti from Christmas Eve! (We always make too much food. "But what if there's not enough? We don't want anyone to starve!")
Even though we took it out in the morning and left it on the counter all day, the ziti was (the ziti were? Anyways, they were actually campanelli) still solidly frozen when we came home. Put in the oven at the People's Temperature, stuck in the probe thermometer, and sat down. A mere two hours later, the buzzer went off. For future reference, the scientific definition of "piping hot" for a casserole is 160º F.
