Spaghetti Day
I don’t know about you but I love homemade spaghetti. I make
up a huge pot of it when I make it too. All my kids loved my spaghetti when
they were home and so do my G kids. It takes me a bit to get everything
prepared but it sure beats opening up a jar of some companies and heating it
up.
I cook a pound of Italian sausage and a pound of ground lean
beef for starters. Chop up finely an onion and 8-10 cloves of garlic. Once I have
the meat just about cooked I add the onion. Add salt and pepper to taste. When the
onions are turning clear I add the garlic. Strain grease and add to sauce.
In a large pot, I use
about four cans of sauce, but when I can I use two quarts. One can Tomato juice and a tube of tomato paste. Remember I am a dumper but this is my herb list I put
into my sauce: 2 bay leaves, thyme, oregano, today I used fresh and dried basil,
marjoram, sage and rosemary. I add a ¼ cup of sugar to tone down the acidity of
the tomato. I let the sauce reduce down to about ½ cooking it on low to medium heat
with a splatted screen over it. Stirring occasionally.

We like the angel hair pasta for our noodles, cooking and draining then
I will add them to the sauce after the reduction. My hubby likes to add a
couple of slices of yellow American cheese to his, but I love my freshly
shredded parmesan cheese on mine.
I
make up garlic bread to go with it. I melt the butter and mix in chopped garlic
and spread it on the bread then top it with Italian seasoning and parmesan
cheese and pop it into the toaster oven to melt it all together. You can’t have spaghetti without some way to
sop up the sauce!
Now the cat is out of the bag because I have never shared my recipe for
my spaghetti before not even to my children. Here is the sauce before it is
reduced. I hope you will try my recipe it has always been a hit at my house. Unfortunately my spaghetti sauce was started a bit later than I usually make it (which takes all day to cook down) So I cannot show you the final part and have a picture of the meal all together. Life happened. Sorry I will post a picture later.

Today’s quote:
“The secret of success in life is to eat what you like and let the food
fight it out inside.” -Mark Twain
Scripture of the day:
Fact about the weather:
Did you know that this next full moon we are about to see is called the
Snow Moon and it is the second full moon of the winter? This year the moon will
be a super moon too. This moon is known by the Indians as one that brings heavy
snow to many places. Here is a link for a video on it. https://youtu.be/gye4drwPXAQ Now I sure hope we don't have a lot of snow this month but they have forecasted it for the next week! I like a little bit of it but I don't want snowmagedon
Anyway keep warm, eat hearty and enjoy life
while you can. Bon Appetite!/youtu.be/gye4drwPXAQ
