Some excellent ideas there, Todd.
How did your brain even learn human speech? I'm just so curious.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I have hundreds of dollars worth of it in a canning jar.
If my brother the chef ever gets wind of that, he may drive down from Westminster and steal it.

I hab a code. But my neighbor's house is decorated for Christmas and it's snowing, so at least there's pretty to look at in between bouts of dozing off on the couch, full of chicken soup and cold meds.

Yes please!
I also had chicken soup for lunch. Have not been sneezing on the customers - I think the lower temperature in the warehouse is actually better for my respiratory system? Dunno. It's been pretty busy today, and the credit card system stopped working for a while, so that was exciting...5 more hours to the weekend...I've got my tea with honey to get me through the next little bit, anyway.

I have achieved casserole dishes that are appropriate for a person cooking for one (with lunch leftovers), plus dishes for prep work. My meatloaf last weekend was yummy, and the leftovers are scrumptious.
So, to expand my horizons. I find tomatoes to be too acidic and often very metallic tasting, but I want to try manicotti. I really hate the idea of spending time and money on food experiments where I end up with a bunch of food I don't want to eat, so what spices are essential for a tomato sauce that isn't bland but isn't horribly spicy? I'm thinking of a really good pizza sauce, with (I think) oregano and garlic and such. Hubby could think in flavors, which is why he cooked, but I don't have that talent yet.
I've looked at lots of recipes online, but I can't "picture" how the sauces will taste. Instead of spaghetti sauce, should I be researching pizza sauces?

Connie, one thing you might try is making sure you use "Roma" tomatoes - the small ones that are shaped kind of like little eggplants. To my taste, they tend to be sweeter than the usual tomatoes.

Fresh basil leaves are really good for adding flavor that isn't hot or overwhelming.

I have never been able to make a satisfactory tomato sauce from scratch. I'd love a recipe, too.
