Drum Roll Please....

For at least a month now, my sister and I have been promising Jacob we'd come over to write down his recipe for Red Sauce. After making plans and having to cancel at the last minute, we decided to do it tonight. I have to tell you though, making Red Sauce, while entertaining a 4 1/12 month old, fighting with a puppy, chasing a two year old, and constantly reminding Jacob to measure, can be very difficult. But, somehow, it's been accomplished! Here we have it, the coveted recipe for Red Sauce.

Jacob's Infamous Red Sauce 

(with every ingredient in the spice cabinet but cinnamon.)

First things first, the base for the sauce: 

3 29oz cans of tomato sauce

1 28oz can diced tomatoes

2/3 cup of diced red onion

6 cloves of minced garlic

1 heaping tbsp chives

1/4 tsp of chili powder

1/2 tsp of thyme

1/2 tsp of sage

1 tsp of oregano

1 tsp of basil

2 tbsp of parsley

1 tbsp of Italian seasoning

1/2 tsp of red wine vinegar

1 1/2 tsp of balsamic vinegar

Mix ingredients into a pot and simmer on low.

Next, the meat:

1/3  cup diced red onion

1/4 tsp  fennel seed

4 cloves of minced garlic

1/2 tsp lemon pepper

1 lb of ground beef

1 lb of itailan sausage

In a separate skillet, mix ingredients (if you have a ‘Roy’ have him do it, because he makes the meat perfect!). Cook on medium high, until the meat is thoroughly done. Mix into sauce. Simmer the sauce and the meat together on low for about two hours, stirring occasionally. Mix sauce with pasta and serve! Don’t forget to enjoy!

We've found that this recipe is good for almost 8 servings. If you decide 8 is too much, I recommend not cutting it in half, instead, save the rest of the sauce for later. Like chili, it just keeps tasting better!

May the 4th be with you!

Its star wars day! Not really much I have to say about that topic just think fun to say!
Last weekend one of my best friends Kim married Weldon (Roy's brother) it was at this old library in Ada a small town in southern Oklahoma where Roy's family is from. Its now the Ada Arts & Heritage Center. You can see in the photos of the place the care that has gone into the building over the years.

Halloween and Stuff

We needed some normalcy in our lives so we put up the Halloween Decor. toke some photos we have had most of it for years but the zombie and the hand with eye are new. The bench will get webbing but today was windy so it was not getting put on today. Coming soon the return of cooking, and maybe ill take one from my sister and do wordless Wednesdays, she posts a photo with no words, it can be allot of fun.
P.S. Safety first notice the yellow duct tape over the extension cord.

Chef Aaron Wright's Mac & Cheese Croquettes

So again one of the only sites I have access to at work is Fox News. I found the fallow recipe for fried  Mac N Cheese. Safety first, this requires using hot oil to fry please be safe watch for splintering.

Mockingjay

I finished and wow surprised to the end that's all I can say. My next book will have to be lighter Roy is just started it. The fall season prime time TV shows are all starting up I am glad about the news for Smallville. And look forward to Glee of course. It was my fav new show of last year. Its raining here but not storming really but expecting 5 inches give or take.

On the note off falls shows watched the first episode of Tom Welling's new project Hellcats. Its good mindless entertainment but if I had to pick it or reruns of Birds of Prey well idk picked Birds of Prey. Not that in this day and age of the DVR do we have to worry of such things.

This was written on my phone and I sent it via email hope this works.
