    Pink Brandywine tomato, yes, just one.
    Cocozelle zucchini
    Hot bananas (long hots to some)
    Onion
    Garlic
    Olive oil.

    Simmered until thickened and put over angel hair pasta with asiago smothered breaded chicken.


    Now what would you call that?
    Is it a Bolognese?
    Bruschetta?
    Ratatouille?
    Delicious.  Mouth-watering.

    Haha good point.
    It was pretty good, not as good as it could have been if I was a pro with Italian spicing, I just never get it quite right.

    I had fries and chicken fingers.
    I hand cut the fries, but the chicken was frozen Tyson Anytizers.
    No shame.

    Isn't penne smooth and rigatoni ridged, so the sauce-adhering factor is different?

    And curious, as the majority of posters in this thread are men thus far.  Not to diss my gender, but is cooking like this more of a guy thing?  Regardless, I am impressed.

    First man I fell in love with home-cooked us an exquisite but not frou-frou meal on our first date.  Even shopped for the ingredients together.  Granted, it wasn't his only quality I dug, but it was definitely one of them.

    He also deep-fried a turkey just for the hell of it.  Was DELICIOUS!

    I do all the cooking in the house. My girl actually seeks out gourmet dishes for me to make.

    Yeah, I should have taken a picture of it, it was about the size and shape of 2 fists attached at the knuckles.
    It was a good mater.

    Damn...though I guess I can't tell how deep the pot is. That's impressive though. 

    Reminds me I need to make Grammy's Sunday Gravy sometime soon! Not sure she would like me posting the recipe here though

    You said "mater".  I love that.  My boy from weesiana used to say that, lol.

    Maters and taters!

    Homegrown maters, homegrown maters.
    What would life be without homegrown maters?
    Only two things that money can't buy:
    And that's true love and homegrown maters.

    Well, I'm a single guy so it's either me or a restaurant.  Although I don't consider myself to be a good cook by any means whatsoever.

    I unfroze some of my old man's sauce yesterday (well sauce that I made from his recipe given he's passed) and had it last night in some new pasta bowls we got made in Italy.  More of a ragu than a typical gravy but so good.

    My Brandywine heirlooms that take soooo long to ripen but are soooo worth it. 
    FYI I have a decent sized mitt.
