I'm out of red sauce so I'm making another batch. It's a two day process.

The red sauce is very simple, it's onion, celery, carrot it 1:.5:.5 ratio, Italian sausage, two large cans of tomatoes, and red wine. 2T oregano, 1T basil, 1T marjoram, salt to taste. Brown the sausage, saute the aromatics a while, add 1/4 to 1/2 bottle of red wine, tomatoes, and seasoning. Simmer for 5 hours (at least)
Then put it in the fridge overnight. Now it's ready for serving.

I need to start mincing the aromatics but I can't help but sample the wine first.

It's OK if I get a little blood in it anyway, any blood born pathogens will be killed during the cooking process.

Yes, it will. Good point.

It will also thicken the sauce a bit.

God, Friday, when I went home
I really wanted an egg-salad sandwich.
And I was just obsessing about it and I was like:
"Man, I'm gonna make one of those. "
So Saturday I went out and I got, like, a dozen eggs...
and I boiled them all and then I just...
I spent, I don't know, probably three hours...
like, three-and-a-half hours making...
you know, the mayonnaise and the onions and paprika...
and, you know, all the accoutrement.
And then, by the time I was done...
I just really didn't feel like eating it.
