What are we, 80?

edit: Eating dinner at 6 would actually be great, if I could get it prepared that quickly after getting home. It would make fitting in second dinner around 10 easier.

I get to work at 6:30 and I am home at 3:00. So, yeah...we eat at 6.

I always eat dinner at around 6. Unless we go out in which case we usually go eat around 5:30.



Also for thread purposes, it's called sunday gravy not, sunday sauce.

One of the recipes in this thread, I think one of Spaulding's, said use fresh or canned tomatoes. Do NOT use fresh tomatoes that can be bought here, especially this time of year. They have no flavor. Pop for the San Marzano ones, as Tall Midget said, for home cooking. That being said, if you are going to spend more than an hour working on something, and the crucial activity is opening a can, I wouldn't agonized over it. A go-to sauce should be easy to memorize. Use up red wine you have open. I would learn how to make bread if I were you. Easier than you think, most of the cook time is hands-off, and really elevates a meal cooked at home.

You could Google it rather quickly and find that Italian Americans call it Sunday sauce just as often as Sunday gravy.

She already bakes. I don't need to know how to make bread.

She has already laid out the groundwork for me buying her a KitchenAid stand mixer. I'll probably have to sell the GTI.

I generally agree regarding winter tomatoes. But several years ago I took my wife out for Valentine's Day and we went to Charcoal Oven in Skokie. The place had been there forever and I had never been there before. I remember my mom making fun of it when I was a kid mocking what she called a deep-fried roll.

The owner Phil was still alive at the time. I think his kids run it now. The menu was handwritten in cursive on big sheets of white cardboard. Phil waited on our table himself. He ran down some specials and recommendations. He recommended the whitefish. My wife attempted to order the trout but Phil said, "The whitefish is the only fish I recommend." I don't know if that meant his trout sucked or if he had run out of it. Anyway, I had a steak and it was just a great old school experience, albeit pricey for Skokie.

When we paid the check and were getting ready to leave, Phil came out and handed my wife a brown paper bag and said, "A Valentine's gift from the Greek farmer." The bag was full of tomatoes that were so plump and red it was hard to believe. We ate them later that week and they tasted great. I don't know where the Greek farmer was or how he grew them in winter but i was happy to eat them. R.I.P. Phil.

They grow them out of fucking 5 gallon pickle buckets. I know,my Mother-in-Law does it. They still turn into red water when you try to break them down into a sauce. I've been meaning to get over that place too, I hear they have kind of righted the ship since the time after he passed away.

Old lady hanna is allergic to tomatoes. So beni makes the red sauce out of fresh roasted red peppers. Majority are blended with a few chunks for good measure. Getting a decent acidity like a tomato is a challenge. It is always a little runnier than ideal which is probably due to not cooking down the sauce long enough. Any thoughts/suggestions on making a red sauce without tomatoes?

I know some people will add sweet potato or to the red pepper and if you miss the acid lemon juice or a vinegar might be a good addition.

JORR so did your wife get the whitefish?
