The Casserole Dish: Five Years, Four Households, One Missing Lid

Transcript

Easter, 2019. Linda Varga of Wausau, Wisconsin, sent her blue-lidded casserole dish home with her sister-in-law. Full of lasagna.

This is the last known photo of the dish in Linda's possession.

Two years later, it surfaced at a church potluck across town.

It's been seen at three potlucks since. Every time, with somebody else's lasagna in it.

Her sister-in-law, Donna, told Linda by text that she gave it back years ago. At Easter, 2020. The family didn't hold Easter in 2020.

Then, last June, a neighbor's patio camera caught it at a graduation party on Linden Street. The lid was missing. So was Linda's lasagna.
