On How To Make Weeknight Pasta Sauce

@boyofdestiny Unfortunately, you pretty much have to blend. (A tomato mill would be another thing to wash, so I say not worth it.) Also, in general, if things are soupy, there is always the option of cooking longer to evaporate more liquid.

On How To Make Weeknight Pasta Sauce

@AmeliaRay I would argue that a basic garlic-onion-tomato pasta sauce made on an oven tastes far better than Newman's, probably reaching $8/jar level sauces for about $2-4, depending on the quality of canned tomatoes, so I think it's more of a bang for buck issue. (Not sure where the author is shopping to be using $2 worth of garlic/onion/oil!)

In the summer, basic tomato sauces just murder store-bought. Another issue is that basically all storebought sauces have sugar or corn syrup, and if you are used to homemade, this will make the storebought sauce taste off. I think the real problem with homemade tomato sauce is having to blend, such a pain to wash.

On Bacon, Cream And Other Secrets Of Enjoying Late Fall Vegetables

I was surprised to see you throwing away the kale stems. They are the bomb in soup/stew (not pureed). In standard greens sautes, you can still use them if you just throw them in about 5 minutes earlier or so.

PS I always wonder what kind of supermarkets people who claim that supermarkets only stock Red Delicious and Granny Smiths shop at. Real grocery stores have had great apples for 10 years at least. (Also, Winesap apples are generally gross. Not recommended.)

On Television Commercial Plays Havoc With Meaning Of Common Expression

Shhhh! Yeah, I don't understand why people are so confused by this. If they are not confused, and are instead put off, I still don't understand why.
