Do you trim it in your photo app? I'll try it. Thanks!

Yep.... it is a pain but only way to get to fit

Home from shooping. I'm thinking a 3-egg omelette and then putting on the gravy.

How do you keep the slow cooked gravy from being too sweet?

Just made my wife an omelette with toast in bed.

One good turn deserves another…

Coffee, busy day yesterday and busier day today.

Overly sweet hasn't been an issue of mine. As I remember, the best sauces I have made had fresh Romas in it. I think I have some frozen ones in the freezer, maybe.


I'll keep you posted.

Sounds lovely, homemade bread and soup. What kind of bread may l ask?
I am waiting for my ride to the supermarket for my weekly shop.

This morning the bread was sourdough. This afternoon the bread is a multigrain - oat, wheat, sunflower and sesame flours.

I plan to make vegetable barley soup!

My never fail recipe for gravy/marinara sauce/sketti sauce.

1/3 -1/2 c of olive oil
Sautee the following in the bottom of a pot
3 good heaping tbsp of basil (fresh is best)
3 tbsp of oregano
3 tbs of parsley
2 fresh garlic minced (you can used powdered if you need to, just don’t tell me)
1/2 an onion finely diced

Sauté the above until it turns very slightly brown. (You have to be careful at this point because it’s easy to get the herbs to burn… have your three cans of crushed tomatoes open and at the ready…)

(Some people might add a little bit of red wine)

Then quickly add 3-4 cans of crushed tomatoes.

Simmer on low heat for ~2 hours and keep stirring to avoid burning.

(You can cook it for as little as 30-45 mins but I think the flavor really comes out with a longer simmer)

Salt and pepper to taste.

I'll keep you posted.

I have only had the all.day simmered sauces be sweet because if the carmelization of the onions and the tomatoes...then people add sugar.... I guess maybe adding some acid at end of cooking may help...let me know how it turns out
