HiWhen I used to send money orders or cash in the mail I usually sent them with foil wrapped around them in an envelope, but I was recently told to stop doing that because the post office might think I was trying to send anthrax samples in the mail? What does anthrax have to do with wrapping things in an envelope with foil?I can simply cover cash or money orders with paper, a few sheets, so people can't see the cash or the money order in the envelope when they hold the envelope up to the light, which is what I usually do anyway.Please help- thank you.

HiThis one is awesome and relatively easyBrown a pound or so of ground beef with onion, green peppers, one clove of garlic minced, and salt and pepper to tasteWhen brown, drain grease and add 1 small can tomato paste and 1 large can diced tomatoesGet that all stirred up then add about a teaspoon of Italian SeasoningLet that simmer for about 15 minutes, and you have your sauceTo prepare the noodles, put about twelve of them into boiling water with a dash of salt and about a tablespoon of oil in itIf they don't fit into the pan, it's okay, they will get soft quickly and you can then manipulate them into the panWhen they are done, drain them and rinse them with cold water to prevent them from sticking together Then, you take your pan(For this recipe, use a 9 by 13) Put half the noodles in the bottom after spraying with PAMthen, you take a tub of ricotta cheese (not cottage cheese, it is runny and gross) and mix it with an eggput half the ricotta cheese on top of the noodles (I use a spoon and spread it because it is a little tricky)Then put half of a one pound package of shredded mozzarella cheese on top of thatThen put half of your sauceSprinkle the top with a good amount of grated Parmesan, some Italian seasoning, salt, and pepperCover this layer with the rest of the noodlesIf the noodles are too long, on the first layer let them go up the sides, but on the second layer you need to cut them to fitThen, put on the rest of the ricotta mixture, the rest of the mozzarella, then the rest of the sauceThen sprinkle the top with a liberal amount of parmesan, and some Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper Then put in a 350 oven for about a half an hour, or until everything is really bubblyServe with some good garlic bread and a tossed saladAfter assembly and before baking, you can store the lasagna in the fridge for a day or so if necessary, and many cooks feel this actually enhances the flavor of the lasagna.
It could be that the post office thinks people may send anthrax in foil packaging or that the aluminum foil would set off metal detectors, leading postal workers to inspect the mail further and potentially be exposed to anthrax
