Good good. We've still got sirens here, and I'm holding ready to head down the stairs in case it's necessary. But I've got WeatherUnderground on, and I think I'm good for now.

Hailstorms SUCK.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Yikes. I hope you all stay safe.

Good grief. Hope it stays a wimpy wind. Isn't it late in the year for tornados? (I really have no idea, except all the ones I've been remotely near have been summer storms.)

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

What makes marinara sauce different from all the other red sauces on the grocery shelves? Other than they have extra stuff?

It's a tomato sauce with onion, and it shouldn't have any meat in it.

Sheeesh, midwesterners, cut that out. How do things look for Illinois, Buffistas. My mum's there, right now.

sarameg, as I understand and use the term, a marinara is just a simple sauce (although sometimes a spicy, simple sauce), without much more than the tomatoes and spices (sometimes onion, too). Ragu and bolognese are meat based sauces.

It is, but the weather is just ripe for it. It was in the 80s today, and in the last two hours it's dropped 12 degrees. Crazy impacting weather fronts!

The weather here hasn't seemed this severe in general though. (In my blindingly large sampling of one year living here.)

Meat sauces didn't occur to me (I just don't do them) so that aspect never crossed my mind. So just a basic sauce, plus onion. Thanks.

Cindy, our big storm looks like it had just been through the middle of the state, probably a few hours ago.

It doesn't have to have onion (although mine does). It depends on the cook. Generally, its simplicity is the key to it, and a lot of times, it's a pretty light, quick sauce. It's good for non-chunky pastas.

Are you in Illinois, Ailleann, or Ohio? My mother is about 100 miles S-SW of Chicago.
