What's on your table this evening this eighty-third anniversary
of the attack on Pearl Harbor??  Big dinner plans, going out to
eat, or just snacking/finishing off some leftovers?
 
Here it will be sketti and garlic bread.  The meat is cooking
down with a ¾ of a bag of thawed frozen onions along with some
fresh mushrooms.  The meat is 1½ pounds of hamburger with one
pound of sweet Italian sausage that I've also added more spice
and herbs to the mixture.  In a little while I'm going to open
a jar of Rao's mushroom spaghetti sauce and let the whole
concoction simmer for a bit.  Rao's is excellent and it needs
to be eaten to free up some storage space as well.
 
Of course cooked long, thin spaghetti will be the basis for
this sauce.

 
Works for me!  I've heard Rao's is good.  I'm just stuck in my ways
and like to make my own sauce.

 

99% of the time I make my own spaghetti sauce, too.  But
this jar was setting on the shelf begging for me to open
it.  Rao's has several different varieties to choose from
and all are exceptionally good.

One of the things I like to do is make an Anise seed bread to match
'sketti sauce'.  It sounds unusual but it's actually quite good
andcomplements the sauce.  Just me playing around in the kitchen!

At this season, I'm still filtering cabinets to use up 'gently expired'
items.  That means some odd recipes rolling out but so far, no bad ones.

I'm also filtering spices.  Some last almost forever but some have to
be replaced annually.  Parsley, chives, and my 'Italian Blend' need
replacement.  Savory Spice shop soon!  Tis the season here!
