So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Making Authentic Italian Tomato Sauce

By Karina Heimann


There are many people who love to eat spaghetti. This has become a favorite among many people because it is delicious and easy to make at the same time. You can easily make one with the help of some ready made ingredients. However, if you are looking for the most delicious spaghetti, try using authentic Italian tomato sauce.

To be able to make a gourmet pasta sauce from scratch is a very useful culinary skill that you can possess. The reason for this is that this skill can be used if you are going to cook other dishes aside from spaghetti. This is a perfect addition to your chicken parmagiana, your soup, pizza, and to a wide variety of pasta dishes.

One reason why it is always better to create sauces from scratch is that this will assure you of the quality of the ingredients that will be used. The best dishes are those made from the freshest ingredients. Using fresh tomatoes and fresh herbs can make the dish taste superb as if it was made by master chef.

This is also very good for the body because you will be using nothing but organic ingredients. This will save you from having to use something that is full of preservatives. No preservatives means lesser sodium. When there is less sodium, this is good news for your heart and also for you diet since sodium can increase water retention.

Sauces are very easy to make since this does not require you to do very complicated culinary acts. You simply just need to saute and simmer the ingredients in a pot. The ingredients are also simple and easy to find. The ingredients that you will need are tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, salt, and any spice or spices that you like.

For the tomatoes, many would recommend that you use the bigger variety. This is because big tomatoes can easily be peeled. To deal with the skin, some people blanch the tomatoes first. This will help loosen the skin. The tomatoes can be blanched for 30 seconds. After blanching and peeling, the tomatoes should be placed in cold water.

One thing to bear in mind when making dishes like real Italian sauce would be the fact this will consume so many hours. That is why you have to prepare yourself by being patient. If you want good food, you need to exert time and effort for you to eat one.

An authentic Italian tomato sauce can add more flavor to any dish that you will use it for. This is something that any person will appreciate. All the time spent making this worth all the effort.
