Hi Dave,
RH> If I do a fast and easy sauce, I'll use ground beef, tomato paste,
RH> tomato sauce, water and herbs/spices. For really fast sauce, I'll omit
RH> the tomato paste, use the sauce and a can of diced tomatoes. Don't do
RH> that very often but it's a "5 o'clock and need something for supper and
RH> have to be out the door by 6:30 or so" last resort.
DD> I've been known to add a can of Red Gold diced tomatoes (sometimes
DD> w/green chilies) and an extra ts of "Italian seasoning" when
DD> tarting-up the ready made sauce.
Whatever works. I have Italian seasoning on hand but for making sauce, I
prefer the individual herbs/spices. Made up a jar of the various ones
for the camper so I don't have to carry as many jars. It's basically
equal amounts of parsley, basil and oregano, then I also add (from
separate jars) garlic granules, salt and pepper.
But Dennis came back from his son's DD> with two shrimp tacos for me.
There went that plan. Maybe for lunch DD> tomorrow.

RH> I'd go for the shrimp tacos in a heart beat. (G) A new to us fast food
RH> place opened up in town this past week; we tried it for lunch today.
RH> Cook Out's main claim to fame is that they have 40 flavors of milk
RH> shakes but otherwise it's a poor excuse of a combination of Taco Bell,
RH> Chick-Fil-A and McDonald's. I had a grilled chicken breast sandwich
DD> Chris is a pretty good cook. Which I can't blame on his dad = who can
DD> barely make his own breakfast without much weeping, wailing and
DD> gnasing of teeth.
Steve is a pretty good cook too. Right now he's making up some
sauerbraten; I was going to do it yesterday but ot hit by a bug in the
wee small hours. The worst of it is past but I just don't feel like
cooking. The sauerbraten will be cooked, but then put in the fridge
until I feel better. (Steve had the bug earlier this week, has gotten
over it faster.)
DD> You'll know better next time. If you have a Hardee's/Carl's Junior
DD> near you I can recommend their hand-breadedc chicken sandwich. Or, of
DD> course, the King of Chicken sandwiches - Popeyes.
RH> Closest Hardee's is probably down in Raleigh now. Had one in town but
RH> it closed without warning several years ago. Building has stood there,
RH> still signage on it. Good location but so far, nobody has done anything
RH> with it yet.
DD> Who knows why stuff like that happens. When Carl's Jr bought Hardee's
DD> they changed the signage on all of the Herdee's around here ... but
DD> soon changed it back - even though the menus are the same.
DD> I was idling away some time yesterday and reading one of the
DD> ubiquitous "Best of" list6s ... this one for fast-food burgers.
DD> Hardee's finished ahead of sister chain Carl's Jr. but the winner was
DD> Wendy's. I like Dave's Single. But I druther have a Baconator. Bv)=
