I don't know... I saw a book with that title once- Catching Up With Ketchup: The Cultural Significance of Tomato Sauce. It is not totally random... you'll see.
For breakfast I made boiled eggs. I know, gourmet! I made organic whole wheat toast with butter and had a glass of 100% orange juice. The girls had the same thing, except I wanted all the OJ for myself so they had organic apple juice.
I looked at little E at one point and it struck my how nice it was that she was only putting goodness into her body. I wish it could be like that all the time!
That simple breakfast lasted me allllllll day. I didn't start to get hungry until close to 5:00. I was excited to get home from work and boil some whole wheat pasta and try my homemade pasta sauce!
Well..... it was okay. I think next time I will get the food processor out and puree. I didn't like the big chunky onions. Not quite Prego-like enough for me. I'll also add a little honey. But it tasted alright. The slice of whole grain bread with broiled with butter, garlic, and natural cheese was wonderful. But I wasn't head over heels for the sauce. I don't know if I'll eat the rest.
So I need to work on that recipe I guess. Tomato sauce is one of those specialty recipes that Italian grandmothers perfect and consider their legacy (hence the cultural significance); I can't expect to get it perfect right out of the gate.
Although, that little let-down has reinforced my dislike for cooking. Tomorrow morning I put that turkey breast in the crock pot. Simple as it gets. That will last me through Day 9 and 10!
