I make homemade pasta sauce and can it.

blanch and peel roma tomatoes. tomato paste, onions, carrots, celery, salt, pepper, olive oil, red pepper, garlic, burgundy wine. tie fresh parsley, bay leaves and oregano with butchers twine then fish it out when I am ready to use the sauce.

puttanesca means prostitute or street walker in italian. a couple people claim to have invented pasta puttanesca. I was told it was invented by prostitutes in italy because after work they were hungry but didn't have a lot of money.

One of the most delicious meals i've ever had was ground beef stuffed inside a whole green pepper. Doesnt sound like much but it blew me away as far as tastiness.

good job :)

bake a potato in aluminum foil. let it cool. split the potato and carve the insides with a spoon. put the insides in a bowl then add milk, butter, bacon, chive, pepper and whip it with a hand mixer. pipe the whipped potato into the potato skin and sprinkle cheddar cheese on top. put it in the oven. put a scoop of sour cream on top.

should resemble this

looks good :) I think the bacon is key.

My favorite "3 minute meal" from my undergrad days was:
1. one bag Ramen, any flavor. Add cup of mixed frozen vegetables. Nuke in water for 1 minute 30 seconds
2. strain and plate
3. Sprinkle with italian dressing
4. open the ramen 'flavor packet', lightly sprinkle half its contents over top of everything. This is mainly just for the 'saltiness' of it.

Yum. And there's veggies in there too, didja notice?

See, i'd have used relish instead of dill pickles. Why? Its easier! And just as tasty, I think.

Its like my recipe for "western omelette":

1. Make an omelette.
2. Pour salsa over it.

Ding! Ready to eat.

If you do get your wife to change her mind, go with Silestone.  Less expensive, more resilient, non-pourous, stays cold like granite, and some of the varieties have more "depth" than granite.  The new stuff my parents got is gorgeous.  The Silestone I had in my house (see epic pic post above) was nice, but nowhere near as nice as the stuff they have now.

its a pretty good pulled pork, very spicy sauce, and really crispy fries.

ripster, jeez, it must be nice to be retired and have all kinds of time on your hands to eat gourmet every nite! Either that or you've got a galley of kitchen slaves working for you.

I'm repenting for last night's pulled pork sandwich. Breakfast this morning was oatmeal. With raisins, walnut, cranberries, brown sugar, and a large coffee. It was delicious actually, and only $2, and very filling, and great for my well-abused arteries.

We have a great place here that has an "oatmeal bar". You can walk up to it and "accessorize" your oatmeal from the condomints bar.

Incidentally, starbucks' oatmeal is really delicious too. They give it to you with the standard package of brownsugar/cranberries/raisins/walnuts. And cheap there too.

the repentance continues. California roll for lunch. Hmmm, love that "clean" feeling after sushi. (I believe this was the non-fish california roll. I'm always confused as to whether california roll has actual fish in it or not. I was told it usually does not).

city pizza is reliably good, but truth be told, upstate new york pizza is so much better than nyc pizza. Better ingredients, crispier, less soggy.  They tend to do things in bulk in the city and quality usually suffers a bit.
but yea, i like ny style pizza. I like chicago deep dish too. not terribly picky when it comes to pizza i guess.

pizza in Italy is the best. Italy has the right flour with low protein content, san marzano tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella, 100 year old pizza ovens, etc.
