I was wondering how long it would take you to try it!
 
I have basil in three pots on the balcony and a bunch in the garden. It seems to be the one herb that grows well in Jons Dads garden lol. Last year a friend gave me hot basil and white basil. I had them in pots on the balcony. I prefer regular basil and sweet much more. Jon said the white smelled like apple jacks lol.
Fresh Basil is my favorite herb. It is so wonderful with tomatoes and we love it in pizza and sauces. It is so nice with so many things.

Mama so many of your recipes have become our favorites. I really appreciate all of your help.
 
Honey - I can't take them all with me! LOL

Seriously - I think if you saw my collection, including all the handed down ones - you;d be really surprised. I have more to share!

Right now I have so much that is in storage - when it gets out - then you will not have enough space on your computer for them.

Never be afraid to ask for anything!
 
A slow-simmered Marinara is another one of those things I enjoy making in the crock-pot. I prefer the slow cooker mainly because my range and back-splash are white and I hate the miniscule red/orange splatters from the bubbling sauce that explode all over hell when I lift the lid to stir and taste throughout the day...
 
howdy jglass (Yes- I'm kevin... you're "janie", is that right?)

Yep- I find the slow cooker a simple, painless, easy-to-clean-up way to make marinara. Also, no danger of scorching the sauce! I spray the inside of the crock w/ olive oil Pam spray and it's easy as pie!
 
Remember - don't let your sauce simmer too long or it will start to break down on you.

Tomatoes, puree, paste - all cooked products and a damn good sauce can be made in
1 1/2 hours!

And as far as splatters go - do it Italian style - lift (the cover), stir, wipe, lift, stir, wipe, lift, stir, wipe........................and so on..................
 
lol I do exactly that.
By the way..I have a jar of your marinara in the fridge right now. I make it once a week.
