Minus the jar sauce ?
Crap we use jar sauce, usually Classico Basil & Garlic, as the BASE for gravy. We cook the crap out of it with EVO, garlic, wine, fresh spices including meats if applicable. AAMOF, the only time it comes out of the jar right onto something is when I make pizza, but of course there's a ton of crap on the pizza like saw-zeech, minced garlic, EVO, spices, etc., so the finished product is a mere shadow of what came out of the jar.

Just don't have the time to go fresh or crack a couple of tins of San Marzano tomatoes and go through all the processing steps... Nana's ghost does not haunt me on this, but God forbid I steam clams open instead of opening them, or steaming crabs instead of killing them by hand to hand combat. If I do this, then I'm guaranteed at least 2 sleepless night as she descends into my dreams and excoriate for those culinary crimes...

Rao’s sauce isn’t bad right out of the jar. I especially like the eggplant one if you can find it. I remember being at the restaurant with some friends when they launched the jar sauce. We all had a good laugh about it. Now it’s in every damn supermarket around. Guess they got the last laugh lol. Frankie was a great guy.
 
Tryptophan is an α-amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins. Tryptophan contains an α-amino group, an α-carboxylic acid group, and a side chain indole, making it a non-polar aromatic amino acid. It is essential in humans, meaning that the body cannot synthesize it and it must be obtained from the diet.

Side Effects & Safety

L-tryptophan can cause some side effects such as heartburn, stomach pain, belching and gas, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and loss of appetite. It can also cause headache, lightheadedness, drowsiness, dry mouth, visual blurring, muscle weakness, and sexual problems in some people.

Aloe is a large group of succulent plants with rosettes of thick, juicy leaves and bloom spires topped with beautiful clusters of mostly red or yellow hummingbird-attracting flowers. Many popular Aloes tolerate frost or short freezes.

Aloe vera can be made into a juice using the green part of the leaf. This juice can act as a laxative and may be used to treat constipation or diarrhea.

Run Tuttorosso tomatoes thru a food mill, get rid of the seeds, sautee the good stuff and your on your way. Not much more effort and Nona would be proud. Although she would have probably done it with a wooden spoon and a Sieve as my Mother did. :)

Miss jarring tomatoes. When I was a kid, I'd pick em with grandfather. Then boil em, run them through machine that seperared the skins and then jar it, boil it and away it went. Don't forget the EVOO and basil leaf before putting cap on

Only if she wasn't chasing me with that wooden spoon!!

I swear to Poseidon that she had a heat-seeking one she would throw and it'd follow me around corners and get me!!! o_Oo_Oo_O
 
Making the traditional turkey for my immediate family. Me, my wife and two children. No travelling or "just see somebody for five minutes" for this household. I do have fun making stuffing. Cut the bread cubes last night and now drying them out in a paper bag. One of the butchers by me makes a wonderful sausage for stuffing. Other than that, nothing too unique.
 
For sauce, if in a hurry which seems like always, I use Mamma Lombardi's Tomato and Garlic Marinara. I can always add meat and let it sit. Depends on what the family wants. Otherwise big cans of San Marzano tomatoes and get to work! And 2 bottles of cabernet sauvignon. One for the sauce................and one for me!

 
it’s just da wife and me, 14,15 # turkeys ain’t gonna work, decided to go wit these little beauties...

Whole Foods had Bell & Evans frozen @ $6.99#, bought these Perdue’s $2.99#, guess it will be okay, use by December 5... ? cellfish...
