I'm suspicious of the tomato sauce on the stove. I'm making it for the first time after reading a rave review of the recipe. It only has three ingredients. It seems too easy and good to be true. But I should probably give it a chance. If I were a three-ingredient tomato sauce, I would want a chance. So, I'm withholding judgement while it simmers.
I'm glad that the days are getting longer and that my schizophrenic experience with winter evenings will begin to improve. In the winter, I can't tell the difference between 6:15 and 11:43 and 9:27. They all look the same to me, and they all feel like 11:59.
I shouldn't use the term "schizophrenic" incorrectly like that. It drives Ryan nuts. And for that matter, "nuts" is not a clinical term either. Please accept my apologies.
I have mixed feelings about watching the news, especially when it comes to tragedies. I think it's good to be informed and to be acquainted with reality, but for me, immersing myself in coverage of a tragedy that I can't help more than I already have becomes debilitating. It weakens me from the inside out.
I have a large zit forming on my jaw. It's a heavy-duty zit and it means business. I felt it under the skin days before I could see it. This zit was written and directed by James Cameron and has been years in the making. Buy your tickets now; it's gonna be big.
That's all for now. I have to go stir the sauce. I'm cautiously pessimistic.
Update: The sauce was fine. Better than I feared, but not heavenly. I think I might try it again with two more ingredients: garlic and garlic. And I think I'll let it roast all day in the crock pot.

You can tell your husband that in our office of therapists and social workers, we call people "crazy" all the time. WE are very professional.
3 ingredients, i don't buy it, not one bit. you'll have to give your professional review. i don't think i could take a chance on it...
I like this post. I feel the same way about the news coverage of tragedies.
P.S. I just noticed your family's short bios on the right...Christian is 11???!!! What the...when did that happen? I seriously feel like he is still 8. Crazy.
I'll take two tickets for the 11:59 show with a package of nuts and a side of three-ingredient tomato sauce!
So how was the sauce? I feel the exact same way about the tragedy. I feel so sad and so small. Watching the coverage over and over again doesn't help. At least you have that big zit to keep you busy.
I can see how a simple sauce could be good (could be ...) but really - no garlic? No garlic in a spaghetti red sauce?
You really will need to post the results because I just can't fathom it.
Will it be a white head, black head or a blue head? (that's a little Avatar humor for you) ;)
ps. I'm only dorky on your blog. I mean "nuts"... I'm only nuts on your blog.
pps. If you lived here, would you go to ALT with me?
I love your random! Sorry about the zit. I think it stinks that they keep showing up- even in our thirties! There is something not right about that.
I get what you're saying about the news coverage on tragedies - or anything really. It gets to be too much.
I've put hand sanitizer on my zits, and it's dried them right up. Maybe all of the alcohol...? I don't know, but it's worth a try.
My US Government teacher gave me a new perspective on the news. She said that when the news is full of tragedies, it means that the tragedies are still out-of-the-ordinary. She said the day that she'll be depressed is when the news is full of good things happening because they are out of the norm. I still feel sad about the state of the world when I watch the news, but I think she has a point.
I'm really not trying to deliberately disagree with you here or anything, I was just reminded of that and thought I'd share.
I was suspicious of that sauce too. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm with you on the garlic and garlic.
If you were in my family I could share my Grandma DiStefano's recipe with you. Straight from Sicily...
sadly, I can't.
But you could always come to my house and try it ;)
