No worries dood, I'll be very careful and gentle when it comes to destroying the walls in your lovely home. Just give me a helmet, that's all I need is a helmet and the walls will come crashing down.

WTF... OVER.

I offer my exceptional demolition services and you can't even provide me with head cover to protect what little brain I have left?

SHIYAH!

Just make sure you have a home to return to after Tulsa, not a pile of rubble!

pasta sauce

[enntea.livejournal.com]

Here's the way to start. Go to your local cub foods. Buy:

- 2 cans red gold tomatoes (w/ italian spices the first time, w/o after you get the hang of it)
- 2 bulbs garlic
- dried oregano
- olive oil (a litre, extra virgin, $6 bottle)

First saute 2-7 cloves garlic in some olive oil (<2-3 teaspoons)

then, when garlic is starting to go light brown, add the two cans of tomatoes

cook on low heat until the sauce gets thick (think pizza sauce thick.

Add the oregano (or basil, kalmata olives, cracked green olives, anchovies, capers, red pepper, sausage, etc) at the very end - if you cook any of these for more than 5 minutes (basil more than 30 sec) they're go bland (or bitter). Adjust the salt right before you serve the sauce - use Kosher salt for this.

My suggestion - make the simple plain sauce first, secon try, ass 1/2-1 cup of kalmata olives (expensive kind, with the pits still in) for the last five minutes - they aquire a buttery taste that's simple sublime. capers, green olives, or red pepper all give the saucy spicyness. Anchovies are cheap enough to be worth trying once - they give the sauce a nice flavor too.

You've seen my pizza crust recipe right?
