(no subject)
I am not a huge maker of things from scratch. I leave that to my spouse who's a trained chef; unfortunately, I seem to do a lot of the cooking. I am no snob when it comes to spaghetti sauce out of a jar, although I do go as far as trying to find brands that don't have corn syrup as the second ingredient (Ragu® makes me gag). Tonight, however, I found we were out, so I put together some from tomato sauce/paste, etc; although those still come out of a can, so I suppose it's not that much of a stretch. In the process, I found most of the cans in our cupboards were two or three years out of date! And considering the dates on canned goods when you buy them are several years in the future...man, we need to rotate our canned goods a little better. The main nod to "fresh" - the basil from my Thai Queen plant outside the back door.
