page 274, Thick pasta with tomato ragu, Lazio region

Santa brought 2 copies of this wonderful cookbook featuring the regional cooking of Italy ("the essential source with 2,000 authentic recipes") by the Accademia Italiana Della Cucina  to our house this last Christmas so naturally we gave one away to the darling daughter on her own who likes to cook, too  + we're slowing working our way thru the 2,000 recipes but not the meat ones.  Today, we tried this old school sauce, with few ingredients (garlic, onion, carrot, celery, hot pepper, tomatoes) but simmered on low heat, with the lid on for an hour + oh, was it wonderful over maccheroni, fresh Italian parsley with good freshly grated parmigiano reggiano. 

 

Happy Robbie Burn's day....

    Is there that o're his French ragout, Or olio that wad staw a sow, Or fricassee wad mak her spew Wi' perfect sconner, Looks down wi' sneering, scronful' view On sic a dinner?

What is Stephen Harper Reading?

 
 

is the title of an excellent book Santa brought to this house this last Christmas.  By Yann Martel, the Canadian writer of Life of Pi.  Yann Martel was at a, part of, a tribute for the Canada Council in the House of Commons, in Ottawa in 2007.  Our Prime Minister barely looked up.  He didn't participate in the tribute + Yann Martel got to thinking...the result is this book, wherein, he suggests + SENDS books to Stephen Harper + as soon as I track down my library card I'm going to start reading the books YM has suggested.  The first is...The Death of Ivan Ilych, by Leo Tolstoy.
