The Food thread

Co-signing Rao's.my wife and sister canned yesterday and made some sauce too.Today instead of me grilling,she decided to do chicken parm.Im a lucky guy.

 

Newmans Own gets the job done. Though my wife is of Italian descent*, so when we have pasta with sauce, she usually will make it from scratch. Of course, half the time she makes pasta, we don’t have it with a tomato sauce.


*half Italian, half Irish. Thankfully, the cooking genes all come from the Italian side.

 

So Rao or Newman's it is!

 

But I’ll bet she makes great gnocchi.

 

This is me on Wednesday back in the 40's.

 

I remember listening to the Prince ads on WBZ when I was listening g to Bruins and Celtics games.

 

Cherry tomato pasta sauce is pretty f********ing great too!

 

I actually considered that but thought it might be too sweet.

 

Have tried store-bought? Most all of those are loaded with sugar.

 

Yeah, one reason we avoid most of them. Rao's doesn't use sugar, that's our general fave.

My son actually found the fresh sauce made with our romas too sweet. I thought he was nuts, it was the best kind of sweet.

 

I really hate it when I have to backtrack! I was in Aldi's yesterday and spotted some "Priano" spinach and ricotta manicotti. I figured...how bad can it be. Put some Rao's in bake dish, manicotti, then more Rao's topped off with "Liberal" amt of mozz and reggie parm [when it comes to cheese one is not Conservative]. Billie 'n me found them to be quite enjoyable!

 

I found the worst food. Altoona-style pizza. It uses American cheese.

What? No pineapple?

 

The recipe recommends the “native” tomato sauce by Delgrosso, which, despite of the potentially funny name, is actually pretty good.

Never had the pizza. I see no reason to give it a try.

 

From what I've heard,pineapple would be an improvement,and you know what I think about pineapple.

 

We all have that dream!

 

Well. . . if you look at the "pizza" from a side view, you'll see that you didn't really need that last part, because... Well. Check out the crust:

 

Post reported for obscenity!

 

Add some ground beef and this was the "pizza" on offer in my elementary school cafeteria in the 70s.

 

And then you came home like my kids singing over and over and over.

 

NO, NOT THE PIZZA!
