                Good morning from New York. The weather today is actually supposed to warm up! Yea! I’m not much of a winner person. I guess because I like to BBQ and grill so much. I could use more sleep but cant sleep any later even if I were off and now I wait for my morning ambrosia. That wonderful cup of coffee that I’m waiting for to perk.

                Last night was a simple one. Only because over a month ago I made a Beef Bolognese sauce and froze two quarts of the stuff. Something I usually never do but I thing by then we were sick of eating pasta way too often. I know that sounds crazy but it’s true.

                I first put on a big pot to boil with salt and a little olive oil. Then I defrosted the sauce in the microwave. I put the sauce in a medium size pot and heated it up on low. Water in my house takes FOREVER to boil. That why I have a Sunbeam “Hotshot” hot water dispenser when I want tea or hot chocolate. That’s a good item to include for my appliance must haves.

                Once the water boiled ka-pow I added the pasta to it. While that cooked, I make some very good Italian string beans I purchased in the frozen food section at my local Stop and Shop (at least I made a vegetable that wasn’t salad!). I heated them up in some drawn butter (I’m try to cut down on fat hahahaha).

                It was good, quick and easy. Then I needed a nap but didn’t. We just went to bed early.
