Ladies, set an alarm for 9:00PM tonight! The two-hour Season 4 premiere of http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/downtonabbey/ is finally here.
I’ve followed this show from the first episode. For those who don’t watch, it’s an English period piece that started in 1912, continues through WWI, is now into the 1920’s.
For those who do watch, let me know how excited you are that it’s back up and running.
Which character on Downton Abbey is your favorite?
I usually buy pasta sauce, rather than make it—especially in the Winter when tomatoes are cardboard mush. It’s edible poured straight from the jar, but much, much better when doctored.
Here are my tips for the tastiest sauce ever:
Assemble a jar of sauce (I used Tomato, Basil & Onion), oil, salt/pepper, chopped garlic, some Smart Balance, & dried Italian Seasoning. Again, this is what I like. You can add or subtract according to your own personal taste.
It should make 4 average-sized servings, 2 for big eaters, and 1 enormous mixing bowl full for the Hungry Bears amoung us (Yes, I’m talking about my fella). Seriously, some men can eat an entire box of pasta—don’t let them.
Do you make pasta sauce or buy it? What do you add to it?
