Careful! Troop movements are not something to be broadcast over the open Internet. (Just a little something I learned in the Signal Corps 47 years ago.)
Are the troops going to build the wall?
:-)
I’m making the Sicilian Cod Stew first!
That looks delicious!!!
(And I love tomatoes!)
Have you considered publishing your cookbook?
Hiya, pax!!
Great to see you.
Anyone know if the YUGE MegaMillions jackpot had a winner? It is obviously NOT me. :- /
It looks to me like the Pres is gonna kick some butt if pushed too far.
Hi, sweetiepiezer!
What?
No megaphone and / or a soap box?
Forget I said anything!
Here is her pasta meat sauce recipe. The flavors are very subtle, and it takes a few seconds to get the full gist of it. It's been a success everywhere I've made it.
SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS
Sauce
2 tbsp oil
4 slices onion
2 tbsp tomato paste
2 tbsp water
clove garlic
1 can tomato puree (Avoid Progresso because it's too watery.)
3/4 can water
1 tsp salt
pepper
3 tsp sugar
Meatballs
1 lb round sirloin
1 cup Italian breadcrumbs
1 tbsp grated Romano
1 egg
1 tbsp chopped parsley
clove garlic
1/4 tsp salt
pepper
1 tsp oil
Combine all the ingredients for meatballs except the breadcrumbs, and mix thoroughly. Add the breadcrumbs a little at a time. With moistened hands, shape the meat mixture into balls.
Put a small amount of oil in a skillet, heat, and saute meatballs, turning until they take on a tan color. Do not brown them because it makes a hard meatball. Remove and add to the spaghetti sauce at beginning of the simmering stage.
Brown the onions in oil and discard. (You just want the caramelized sugars from the onions, not the onions themselves.) Add the tomato paste and water, then stir. Add the tomato puree, water, crushed garlic and spices. Heat to boiling, then lower the flame, add the meatballs and simmer for 1-1/2 hours.
I heard nothing. Nothing!
Did you see me get a little snippy with Publius?
That is a sign that pain is ramping up.
Sometimes when we are hurting, we lash out.
My apologies to you, Publius.
No, I don’t want to lose my amateur status.
LAUGHTER is the BEST medicine!
I am sorry that you’re feeling cr@ppy, but glad to see you’re misbavin’, as a distraction :-)
Aw garsh and shucks, Ms. B. Nothing to it.
It’s not me, either, because I don’t have a lottery ticket.
:-/
Good.
OH MY GOSH!!!!
I’ve never made homemade spaghetti and meatballs!
I always wanted to be Italian!!!
Thank you so much!
Does it freeze well, too?
The sauce freezes quite well, although I prefer it fresh right off the stove.
We bought a few....oh, well.
It was fun dreaming, for a few minutes.
Speaking of dreams....turning in.
Sweet dreams, TFT.
Well, thank you for sharing with us!
