How good are you at sauce ?
Would you make it a meat sauce ?
Sauce
1lb ground pork beef veal mix or lamb
8 cloves Garlic chopped smashed fine
2-4 anchovies if you don’t like them skip it.
2 18 ounce cans crushed tomatoes
San Marzano are that much better
If sauce pan Brown the meat maybe in batches
You might need to drain it
Add garlic red chip pepper anchovies
Let that brown
Deglaze 1/2 cup wine or water
Pour in the tomatoes
Your gonna need to stir - let it simmer for maybe two hours
You can do less like 45 mins
yes I use allot of fennel seed with the meat as well.
there are many many debates in our house and my Italian-American coworkers about thing like tomato paste-
what counts as " sawwse’ or " gravy"
gravy is usually the addition of meat- and its really an Italian American thing- many of the settlers in America where from Napeloton - the southern Italian region and this is our bastardized version of their food
Much of the food here is the bastarized version of foods from other countries. Much of what we call Chinese food was what the labors brought in to work the railroads could come up with. Saw many a shocked tourist in Hong Kong and Tawain when they saw real chinese foods. First time I went to Northern Italy i found the tomato based sauces to be more watery and not near as thick as the southern.
Its so true- wether from lack of traditional ingredients or from just like the generations - or degeneration.
A friend taught me to make traditional thai food years ago- and it changed about my palette Traveling to north Africa really solidified that belief about traditional cooking
Ill cover some old ground-
Back to making television - until the entertainment business comes back.
No gym- just stuff at home.

living the dream plan C
truth be told it was great to see my NYC television people
and my rock and roll concert people all in all a good week.
a mish-mash of training- I try to do something each day.
That jump rope session felt awesome but my foot was not going for it the next day.
100 pull ups 15- pushups and like 200-300 50lb kb swings.
did that one day - spread out over like 45 minutes.
