Tomato sauce

[msmemory_archive]

It's a disservice to just call this stuff tomato sauce. ladysprite gave us a dozen tomatoes from her garden, which were just at the bursting-ripe stage today. They are now simmering on the stove along with a whole lot of rehydrated porcini mushrooms, the obligatory generous portions of onion and garlic, and a good glug of burgundy. Eventually I'll add some herbs (oregano, basil) and correct the seasoning.

Yum!

All sounds lovely. I'd even be willing to taste it, though rare roast beef is at the top of my food lust list.

My male human isn't sure he has your right e-mail address, as there was no reply to his last message. Could you let my people know you're okay?
Your friend,
